Joe Burrow will play vs. Ravens on Thanksgiving
The Bengals have managed to win just one game without Burrow, so his return will be an extremely welcome sight, although it's likely too little, too late when it comes to Cincinnati potentially making a postseason run.
Some have questioned the logic in having Burrow return to a team that basically has no shot of making the playoffs, but Burrow doesn't see it that way. If he's healthy, he wants to play.

"That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I'm not going to live my life and play this game scared of something happening."
