When Joe Burrow fell injured with what seemed like a serious calf problem, many feared he wouldn’t make it in time for the Cincinnati Bengals‘ season opening game against the Cleveland Browns. Now that a few days have
passed and the injury was scanned properly, doctors offered an encouraging update on it. According to ESPN‘s Jeremy Fowler, Joe Burrow might recover in due time for the season opener without a problem. The injury he picked up is a calf strain that will take much less time to heal than previously anticipated. Initially, it seemed like Joe Burrow picked up the injury on his own and it looked pretty serious. Fortunately, that is not the case and we have more details about the recovery.
When the injury initially took place, coach Zac Taylor seemed pretty adamant that Joe Burrow ouwld take several weeks to recover from this injury. He initially indicated that we wouldn’t see the QB returning to action for several weeks. This injury was initially picked up on July 27, we are now on August 15 and we seem to be on our way to a full recovery before the expected timeline. Joe Burrow was recently on the sidelines of the pre-season game between the Bengals and the Packers. He was helping the coaches at all time while wearing a headset to communicate with the rest of the coaching staff. For the Bengals, simply having Joe Burrow supporting them is essential for them to feel motivated.
