You have the most expensive player in the history of the game, he says he's fine, the training staff clears him, and your ability to put food on the table is dependant on your W-L record.

What do you do?

Jeremy Rauch reported:

"Joe Burrow had a grimace of pain for every step leaving the field.

Two losses and a calf injury is a terrible cocktail. #Bengals"

Whether he likes it or not, put QB under center to allow for play action 
Make sure there is a RB as competent as Perine for blocking purposes ( in all fairness this should have been done > 3 weeks ago)
Make sure Irv is heavily involved 

This off the top of my head, until JB PROVES he is fully healthy

He clearly wasn't ready, Sunday proved it and now they are gonna see if he can play in 7 days? He makes one hard pivot and yanks it again and he is done for the year. TV ratings and all. Grier and Browning better be working with 1st team this week.

I would've personally been trying to get Dalton in and seeing if a late Rd pick could've freed him up. But I suppose Wentz might have been a realistic answer but not sure if money situation would have worked out. As far as now? I'm not sure there is a guy you could pull in I suppose Wentz is still available but not sure that route would be worth it at this point. 

I'm just frustrated because as fans we are all left in the dark. Outside speculation was Burrow would miss the 1st month of the season but everything from the team said he would be ready week 1. Now here we are 3 weeks in and he obviously wasn't ready and may be missing even more time. Didn't Hurst strain his calf last year? I didn't think he missed much time.

They aren't going to "tank" the season when they've had their best roster and best chance to win a Super Bowl maybe ever.

After this year Chido, Reader, Boyd, Jonah, and possibly Higgins are gone. This team won't be as good for the foreseeable future as it currently is.

Sorry, but I'm not just going to give up on this season because Burrow's calf is a little sore.
