Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow injured his calf during a loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday as the organisation enters crisis mode two weeks into the 2023 NFL season
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow injured his calf as he tried to evade pressure during Sunday’s 27-24 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The tweaked muscle appeared to take place while he threw a late touchdown pass to wide receiver Tee Higgins, with linebacker David Ojabo closing in on him in the pocket.
After making the pass, Burrow skipped awkwardly and limped to the sideline. He sat on the bench grimacing with a massage gun powered on his right leg.
Burrow acknowledged to reporters that he was experiencing calf discomfort following the defeat, which dropped the Bengals to an 0-2 record. He has struggled in the early going this campaign after battling a calf problem throughout training camp.
“We’re going to have to wait and see,” Burrow said. “I’m not sure how it’s going to feel in the next couple of days. It’s pretty sore right now but no telling how it’s going to feel. I think we’re going to take it day by day.”
