Joe Burrow practicing, expected to play Week 1 for Bengals
The NFL world stood still a few months ago when Joe Burrow came up limping during a team practice. He was diagnosed with a strained right calf on July 27.
On Aug. 30, Burrow returned to practice for the first time since being injured. With week one right around the corner, many people questioned Burrow’s status heading into the Bengals‘ season opener against the Browns. Coach Zac Taylor brought it up in a press conference today and cleared the air.
Bengals’ HC Zac Taylor said Joe Burrow is expected to practice in full today. This puts him on track to start Sunday’s game vs. the Browns.
