You mean like being sacked 121 times in 2 seasons?

Burrow has had 3 different knee injures (2 if you think the 2022 one was the same one just being re-aggrivated) and a dislocated finger all on the field in the NFL. He also had a rib cartilidge injury in 2020 in college on the field, different season but same calandar year as his 2020 knee injury.

Luck was battered so much from having such a porous OL.

Burrow had the 2020 ACL tear that took him out the rest of that year, but he's played the entirety of 2021 and 2022, going deep into the playoffs both times. He got (way) further than Luck ever did.

Burrow's current injury wasn't from being hit. It was from basic running around.
It's possible Burrow just didn't stretch enough the day in practice it occurred and he rushed back before it fully healed.

Could this end up being a lost season when all is said and done? Sure, but we have at least another month to go before jumping to such a conclusion.
But would I fully expect this to be a lingering issue beyond this year and label Joe Burrow "injury prone" because of a calf strain? Absolutely not.

Luck played all the games in his first 3 seasons, and only missed 1 game in his 5th and played all the games in his 7th.

He just played hurt a whole lot, which also sounds familiar.

I voted yes just because they don't really seem to care all that much about protecting him. Year 4 and we're still throwing Jonah Williams out there as a starter in his 3rd different position as if there's a magical spot on the OL that won't make him suck. Also Pollack has overseen a whole lot of shitty drafting and development and is still here.

I still don't understand why they had him running in early training camp if he was already wearing a calf sleeve.
