Joe Burrow is optimistic he'll be on the field for the Cincinnati Bengals when the 2021 season kicks off.

The quarterback had season-ending knee surgery on Dec. 2.

"I think I'll be ready [for Week 1]," Burrow said. "I think it'll be just fine."

The No. 1 overall pick last spring, Burrow needed surgery to repair multiple ligaments in his knee.
