Joe Burrow To Miss Several Weeks With Calf Strain
When asked to clarify if this injury would affect Burrow’s status for Week 1, Taylor did not provide specifics, saying, “Several weeks is several weeks.”
Burrow injured his calf during practice on Thursday. During an 11-on-11 scrimmage, Burrow pulled up with a leg injury after scrambling to his right. Burrow was eventually carted off the field.

Before the injury, the discussions around Burrow revolved around his upcoming contract extension.
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, who was taken five picks after Burrow in the 2020 NFL Draft, signed a massive five-year, $262.5 million contract extension, becoming the highest-paid player with an average annual value (AAV) of $52.5 million.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Burrow’s extension would surpass Herbert’s contract as the Bengals quarterback will become the highest-paid player in NFL history.
