You can't play at 75%, adrenaline will prevent that and he'll take off from the pocket like he has the first 2 games. They may have to put him on the shelf for an extended period unfortunately.
And who knows, this may force them to actually establish a running game and play a different brand of football.
Taylor said they would have to first talk to the doctors to determine if he would play or not. They should've talked to the "doctors" by now? I would assume since he hasn't been ruled out yet or put on IR that the doctors have at the very least said it was a pain management issue. If they're were any significant chances of injuring his calf with just running and throwing I would think the news would already be out by now? I'm leaning towards I think Burrow will play because if doctors are giving him a go then it will just come down to how he deals with the calf and unless it's affecting his ability to throw which it hasn't seemed to I think he will want to be out there.
