With the weapons the Bengals have and an improved offensive line (supposedly), plus an upgraded defense (supposedly),  I think Brandon Allen can hold it down the first 3 weeks.  Plus that gives the Bengals time to evaluate the O-line for 3 weeks without Burrow getting hit.  I think those first 3 games are winnable with a backup QB under center (Vikings, Bears, Sqeelers).  I would play it on the safe side and look at it for the long haul.

Why?  If he's 100% healthy why would another month matter.  Silly.

They are not going to clear their franchise QB to play at anything less than 100% healed.
