Burrow (back) is participating in positional drills Thursday, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.
Burrow missed practice Wednesday due to back tightness but said he intends to play Sunday against the Texans. Thursday's appearance in practice marks a step in the right direction for the star QB, though it remains to be seen whether he will ultimately go down as a limited or full participant. Either way, Burrow looks poised to suit up this weekend, barring a setback.
