Not the Same As Last Year's Slow Start

[jj22]

The difference is last year Burrow was healed. Just underweight. We figured once he got his weight back his velocity would return. Hell, it had returned somewhat by the end of the game.

This year he is clearly still hurt. And the chatter of him missing week 1 looks to have been legit. The chatter of calf injuries lingering also should be noted.

We had a lot more answers last year about Burrows health after week 1 then we do this year. There’s legit concern the injury will linger. They did say he has good days and bad days. They were cautious with him being available. Folks mocked them for being coy trying to keep the Browns on their toes. I think we know now they weren’t.

And there’s no telling how this injury will effect his year.
