Bengals Star QB Joe Burrow Injury Happens in Practice
Calf Injury Strikes Bengals' Star Quarterback

During Bengals’ training camp, quarterback Joe Burrow was carted off the field after suffering a calf injury during practice. The 26-year-old franchise quarterback, widely regarded as one of the NFL stats leaders, went down during an 11-on-11 drill, causing concern among his teammates and coaching staff.
A Non-Contact Injury Gets a Nod From Burrow
The Bengals’ camp was momentarily silenced as Burrow, while scrambling, appeared to suffer a non-contact injury, grabbing at his lower leg before being helped off the field. Head coach Zac Taylor later confirmed that the injury is a calf strain. The exact severity of the injury remains unknown, and further testing will be conducted to assess the extent of the damage. The team is taking a cautious approach and remains hopeful for positive news in the coming days.
While a Joe Burrow injury is no small matter, fellow wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase expressed confidence after an unspoken exchange with the star quarterback. Chase revealed that Burrow gave him the nod that he’s alright, and the receiver believes that Burrow’s resilience will prevail.
This Joe Burrow Injury Is Another On His Injury List
This unfortunate setback adds to a history of injury challenges for Burrow, who faced an ACL tear during his rookie year and an appendectomy last season, which put him in the NFL injury report. However, his determination and stellar performances have made him a key player in the Bengals’ rise to AFC prominence, with his NFL qb stats and high NFL MVP odds.
Amid ongoing contract negotiations for a substantial extension, the team awaits for updates with high stakes for their Super Bowl aspirations.
