A grade 1 strain was projected at 1 to 3 weeks before resuming practice.  I have been assuming that Burrow was practicing, but out of the sight of cameras. But according to this report, he is not practicing at all:

"A snag in contract negotiations is not why Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is not practicing, coach Zac Taylor said on Tuesday.

In a virtual news conference, Taylor quickly and firmly denied that Burrow's absence is related to the inability between his side and the Bengals to reach a contract extension. Burrow has not participated in practice since he suffered a strained right calf on the second day of preseason workouts."

Only about a week and a half away from the opener now.
Dianna Russini may have ended up being right all along.
We'll see come next week.
