Don’t lose hope, Bengals fans! There may still be a silver lining. Joe Burrow’s non-contact calf injury during practice raised concerns among Cincinnati fans, but it seems that all may not be as dire as it initially appeared. Burrow, while being carted off the field, gave a reassuring nod to his teammate, Ja’Marr Chase, indicating that he was okay. Chase, speaking to The Athletic, expressed his belief in Burrow’s strength and played down the seriousness of the injury. Bengals coach Zac Taylor also provided some reassurance, stating that it was a mere calf strain and that they were awaiting official confirmation.
Naturally, the potential loss of Burrow to a serious injury would have significant ramifications for the Bengals’ upcoming season. After all, the talented quarterback led the team to an impressive 12-4 record last season, even securing a spot in the AFC Conference Championship game. His performance included 4,475 yards and 35 touchdowns. The Bengals also made it to the Super Bowl during the 2021-2022 season under Burrow’s leadership, although they did not emerge victorious.
Despite the potential setback, Bengals players remain positive. Center Ted Karras expressed confidence in Burrow’s recovery, stating that he believes the quarterback will be fine. Burrow himself was already taking precautions by wearing a sleeve on his right calf during practice before the injury occurred. Other teammates, such as defensive end Sam Hubbard, shared their experiences with calf strains and expressed confidence in the training staff’s ability to handle the situation.
In addition to recovering from his injury, Burrow is also in talks for a contract extension that would likely make him one of the highest-paid players in the league.
