Former NFL WR texted Joe Burrow for injury update
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow came up hopping on one leg in training camp which would eventually be reported as a strained calf after he showed up to practice with a black sleeve on his leg.
There has been a lot of speculation on how much time Burrow is going to need to miss with his injury, but former NFL wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh said he texted Burrow to get his own update on Speak on Fox Sports.
“Yeah, I’m cool,” Burrow texted back according to Houshmandzadeh. “I’ll be out a little bit but I’m good to go.”
That’s very encouraging news for the Bengals directly from Burrow himself, who was spotted at camp today with a sleeve on his leg and he wasn’t limping.
It’s likely Burrow will be out for several weeks of the preseason, but reports are currently that his status won’t be in question for the regular season opener.
