"If Burrow continues to play on his calf less than 100%, will it continue to heal and eventualy get to 100% even if he plays on it?"
He effectively answered that question yesterday in his press conference. He said each week he doesnt have a setback, it will get stronger and eventually get to 100% even if he plays on it.
I was always team sit him until it heals, but given that information its super encouraging that if he continues to play, it will continue to heal. Always a chance at a set back, though.
A number of days ago while browsing the Internet I read a Doctor's opinion about Burrow. (can't find it now)
It was that the Doctor didn't think that full rest would make the injury heal any faster than playing
as long as playing didn't cause a trauma that noticeably reaggravated it.
(sort of a you know you went too far when you feel it type of thing)
*I remember playing softball on a bad hamstring and six weeks almost to the day it was healed
even though I hobbled around and played a lot of games those 6 weeks.
*I know that NFL Football must be way more physical than softball but I kept playing (like Chester on Gun Smoke)
with a limp and it did heal.
