What Kremcheck said though keeps me hopeful that Burrow should be 100% by the opener if it is indeed a grade 1 sprain.

Also, to Soonerpeace, don't call this message board stupid man. Not cool.

I am on here as much as anyone. Obviously I don’t think it’s stupid.

CINCINNATI — The top storylines surrounding Joe Burrow just two days ago involved his pending contract extension, decision to pass on the “Quarterback” documentary and why he thought playing a few series in the preseason would prove “beneficial."

This report from Dr. Kremcheck, whose an orthopedic surgeon and a Cincinnati Reds consultant, is indeed a hopeful prognosis. He seems to have inside information from the MRI that the calf strain is indeed a grade one and Burrow should be ready to go after three weeks. It's going to help me to put my attention on the training camp and preseason camp without this huge shadow over everything.

I get the impression from Streak 161's post that they would probably opt to keep Burrow out an extra two weeks to avoid the kind of recurrence that occurred when Mike Trout tried to come back too early.

A fantastic read. Thank you. [[The "fantastic read" was the full one, before it got shortened. The full version traced several professional athletes with comparable injuries.]

Cool. Personally, I would never put my money towards anything owned by the NYT's or even towards espn lately, but to each their own.

Was just watching NFL Live and forgot that the stealers drafted Keeanu Benton the big NT that I really liked. Don't like that. Good player.

Just another one of those players that I wanted us to draft that will become a scumbag on that putrid team.

Hope a DJ Reader extension similar to Trey's is happening soon.

Thanks, the thing is, we can do that if we have to. We started 0-2 last year with a hurt Burrow coming off an appendectomy.

I think if Burrow has to miss the opener against the Stains to make sure he is good to go against the Ratbirds the next game that's okay.

Don't want the Trout move to happen to Burrow, but like I said in a previous post. Burrow is so competitive it will be hard to sit him.

One good thing imho, Joe will not be too involved, if at all, in the joint practice with Green Bay.  I’ve always felt these are a bad idea.  There always seems to be someone who lacks self control and lets things go too far.

Joe will be on the sideline true and not playing for sure after this.

Well at least it isn't the Chiefs or a Division rival. I think if there is a team that we don't dislike a ton it is the Packers. I think what 
happened with AD and the Rams last year might be an outlier, I doubt a joint practice with another team ends like that again...

We hated each other after that SB, just because Sean and Zac are friends doesn't mean the players are. There was genuine dislike.

Similar to us and the Chiefs now or one of the teams in our Division.

The league needs to step in, put their foot down, and demand a degree of professionalism from the players.  Don't get me wrong, I completely understand that young men are trying to make enough of an impact to get noticed and make a squad, and that grudges can be held among veteran players from bygone meetings, but a joint practice should be just that, a completely developmental joint practice.

It obviously wasn’t a grade 1 strain. Calfs can be tricky but simple at the same time.

I’m assuming the grade 1 is basically a Charlie horse.



Charlie horse, you are basically good after a day or 2.


Had to be grade 2 or 3 if we’re talking about him missing the preseason

I'd assume because of the missing "several weeks" comment. Ambiguous to be sure.

Looks like a 1 can be several weeks.

It’s by far the most common and he was carted off the field. Several doctors online were predicting it was grade 2. He’ll still be good for the season opener.

At this point, what do fans of this team want to know about this situation?

We want to know what grade the calf strain is? And what is the prognosis based upon the grade?

Dehner failed to report the grade of the strain so we don’t know anymore about the diagnosis than we did before reading his article. As far as the prognosis, he just repeated what had already been reported from multiple source. I learned more from what was already posted here.

Then Dehner made an apples to oranges comparison of various calf injuries without establishing what grade each strain was because the prognosis varies greatly depending upon the degree of the strain. That only helps contributes to the confusion of the fans who aren’t familiar with it.

Frankly, I’d rather spend my $2 on an actual cup of coffee.

If it were grade 1 and you just dodged a bullet, when would you let him return and risk having a setback that lingers into the regular season while you are negotiating a contract that will most likely make him the highest paid NFL player in history?

My guess would be Week 1 of the regular season when the games mean something.
