Joe Burrow injury updates

[Graphicguy]

Not really worried. Burrow has been conspicuously absent from view. Even when he had the appendectomy, he was cruising around practice in a golf cart. I think Zac shut down the chatter once he saw Chase make public statements. Zac's close to the vest on this stuff....a lot like Bellicheck. My guess is JB is practicing....when no media or public is around. I'm sure Zac told him to "chill" on making statements, too.

Maybe (and that's a big MAYBE) he realizes how crucial this period is for him. We're talking about a ½ a BILLION dollars at stake (probably more, given the contract he's expected to get). Getting seriously hurt in training camp, extending the injury to his calf even further, would likely weaken his contract. He's also the guy who is the undeniable leader of this team, and one of the leaders in all the NFL. He speaks, people stop and listen.

He ain't saying diddly about his practice, his calf, his contract....nothing! That's on purpose.

Brad Robbins had the most knowledge of our playbook. The Bengals didn't even hesitate to move on from him. If Burrow was that hurt, Robbins would be suiting up.

I believe 100% he's practicing right now, and that he'll be under center that first snap against the stains.
