Thursday will mark Burrow’s first action since he was injured against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sept. 14.
Burrow suffered a toe injury during the second quarter of that game and was placed on the Injured Reserve list two days later.
He returned to practice in a limited capacity two weeks ago.
The Bengals, who now have a 3-8 record, have won one game since Burrow’s injury. They began starting backup quarterback Jake Browning before making a trade with the Cleveland Browns for Joe Flacco.
In a press conference on Monday, Taylor said the Bengals will be without wide receiver Tee Higgins and defensive end Trey Hendrickson. Higgins suffered a concussion in the Bengals’ loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday. Hendrickson will miss his fourth game in a row with a hip injury.
