Joe Burrow’s 2023 season with the Bengals has gotten off to a rough start in large part due to a nagging calf injury that was suffered in training camp and reaggravated in a Week 2 loss to the Ravens.

Rodgers mentioned the conversation with Burrow during his weekly appearance on the Pat MacAfee Show Tuesday and praised the Bengals quarterback for playing through the injury, saying, “I don’t think people realize how much pain and limited mobility he was in.
