• Mild: Grade 1, little to no structural damage, minimal and localized pain/inflammation, minimal to no functional loss, typically days to a couple of weeks to recover.
• Moderate: Grade 2, structural damage present, increased pain/inflammation/functional limitation, typically multiple weeks to recover.
• Severe: Grade 3, complete tear, structure disrupted, often with a visible defect, significant pain/inflammation/functional loss, typically multiple weeks to months to recover.

7 or so years ago (around age 35) I had a grade 3 calf strain... Massive bruising up my calf. It hurt pretty damn bad and felt so strange, but I didn't miss work and for work I'm on my feet and moving around all day. It's not like a dull pain from a sprained ankle or something. More like a lingering charlie horse that only hurts when you walk around.

I was hobbled for the first week for sure. Was playing USTA tennis practice and I thought my buddy behind me whacked my calf w side of his racquet really hard just to screw with me when I started sprinting from baseline. Nope!

I played in a USTA doubles match 2 weeks later and played well enough to win. If singles and I had to cover the entire court it wouldn't have been doable. It felt weird... looked way worse... but never have had any issues since. It isn't a "mental hurdle " type injury. It will stop hurting and be fine/100% gone. No strength loss or whatever.

Burrow will be fine after a few weeks of rest.

"They carted him off which is the right thing to do, MRI found out from my understanding, it is a grade one, which is great because if it is grade three, that's a bigger problem. So grade one is going to be a couple of weeks, they'll rehab him, put him in a boot find a way to stay in shape, do a little bit of throwing. My best guess would be about three weeks, he'll be ready to go, so that's great news," Kremchek.
