Forge Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I assumed it's been bothering him the entire time and that's why they have been out of the shotgun so much 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His throws lack zip, so they don't throw over the middle much, or else will suffer INTs at the rate Pitt picked him off last year. Can't place the ball well on deep routes, he looks more like Jeff Blake tossing rainbows. And it isn't like they didn't give him 6 weeks already to let it heal. He had to have re-aggravated it then, and obviously did again today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank4Drake Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) They should have never started him early. Even Chase said anything less than 100% Burrow he doesn’t want. Burrow is costing his team games. Balls got no zip cause he can’t plant his calf. Edited September 18, 2023 by Tank4Drake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgX Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 If the Bengals hadn't had two divisional games to start the season, I bet they rested him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanSlim Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 After what happened to Kevin Durant in 2019 after his calf injury and even Aaron Rodgers this year, hearing someone playing through a calf injury always makes me a bit worried.

Well unfortunately for them they now have an even worse scenario than benching him. 0-2 AND he didnt get the rest 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw KDs from beginning to end. That was agonizing to watch. Like a slowmotion car wreck that you cannot stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmittyBacall Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 It's sad to watch. Not sure what the recourse is from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmittyBacall Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 @Broncofan, you're the closest thing we have to a medical doctor. Give me a reason not to panic and that this calf thing won't be an issue all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for Burrow's sake, he should sit out the next game to work on getting healthy. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking into calf strains/injuries it says there should be no activity for 2 weeks and nothing but ice/treatment. It says resume all physical activity after 8 weeks. He injured it July 27th and played week 1, meaning he rested 7 weeks. Probably rushed back a week or two early before it was 100% and reaggravated it going from 0 to 100. From what I read it doesn't seem like a hammy/quad type of injury that is very easy to reaggravate so once hes all healed, it shouldnt be a problem. The problem is that its not 100% healed yet and hes playing on it. So it sounds like hes playing a dangerous game of playing on a 80% pulled calf. Burrow needs to shut himself down for a few more weeks and let it actually heal and not risk tearing it which would require 6mo. surgery.
