I am not sure what would make anyone think he's going to miss week 1 that is still like a month away. Anything to be dramatic and get clicks and keep that 24 hours news cycle going, though.
Dr. Kremchek, an orthopedic surgeon who is affiliated with the Reds, claimed the MRI showed it to be a grade 1 strain and that Burrow would likely be back after three weeks. Today is the 16th day since the injury, which would mean by his timetable Burrow will start participating in practices next week.
I suppose it is likely these other sites are just blowing smoke to have something to talk about, when they speculate a longer time out although why they don't care about their reputation befuddles me. Look at the "Bengals authority" who was claiming, before the draft, that Higgins had all the details of his contract worked out. I don't know how he recovers his reputation from that.
