Joe Burrow is looking to the next milestone.
You could probably sum up Joe Burrow s first post-surgery practice on Tuesday in his first throw to his receivers.
He d been throwing to equipment managers Sam Staley and Tyler Runk and rehab commander-in-chief Nick Cosgray for the past month. He must have been dying to throw to guys in numbers because he lasered balls to Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins and, of course, the explosive fifth pick in the draft, Ja Marr Chase, Burrow s buddy from LSU.
Naturally, that s where the first ball went and it was a wild whiz of an outside and high delivery that eluded Chase standing at about the numbers.

C.J. Uzomah says he s on target for return.
Tight end C.J. Uzomah, who caught Andy Dalton s last Bengals touchdown pass and Joe Burrow s first, had a not so trivial question for Burrow the other day. You didn t forget about me, did you? Uzomah asked the man he calls Joey B.
That s going to be hard.
First of all, Uzomah and Joey B., along with center Trey Hopkins, have been staples in Paul Brown Stadium s pandemic-rigged weight room as soldiers in rehab general Nick Cosgray s army.
Plus, before Uzomah suffered a season-ending torn Achilles in the second game of last season, Burrow had already thrown to him 11 times in seven-and-a-half quarters. That would have worked out to 88 targets for the season, the most to a Bengals tight end since Dalton went to Jermaine Gresham 94 times in 2012.
