Luck was battered so much from having such a porous OL.
Burrow had the 2020 ACL tear that took him out the rest of that year, but he's played the entirety of 2021 and 2022, going deep into the playoffs both times. He got (way) further than Luck ever did.
Burrow's current injury wasn't from being hit. It was from basic running around.
It's possible Burrow just didn't stretch enough the day in practice it occurred and he rushed back before it fully healed.
Could this end up being a lost season when all is said and done? Sure, but we have at least another month to go before jumping to such a conclusion.
But would I fully expect this to be a lingering issue beyond this year and label Joe Burrow "injury prone" because of a calf strain? Absolutely not.
Damn rights Ochocincos. Completely different players with completely different paths. This calf strain is lingering but he could get over it
at any time and right the ship. Joe looked way better in the 2nd half against the Rats and he still could play Monday night and keep this
going into a win streak with the right execution in front of and around him on both sides of the ball. Coaching needs to show up in a good
way starting Monday night against a decent Rams team.
