Joe Burrow, who underwent reconstructive left knee surgery in December, is "all systems go" for the Sept. 12 regular-season opener, according to Dr. Neal ElAttrache of Kerlan-Jobe in Los Angeles.

"He's on track for full go for start of the season," ElAttrache, who operated on Burrow in December, said. "He's doing all the work. He's worked his tail off and been an amazingly mature participant in his recovery. He's focused and great to work with."

Burrow had told "The Cris Collinsworth Podcast" that he expected to be there for the first snap in 2021.
