Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals have a plan in place to manage his calf injury that they hope will have him back to full strength for the start of the regular season.
Per ESPN's Ben Baby, the Bengals have been "cautious" with their star quarterback since he suffered the injury, including limiting his time away from the team's facilities and keeping him off his leg as much as possible:
"Burrow didn't travel for the team's second preseason game so he could maximize his recovery time, according to a team source. Another source said Burrow was not participating in team walkthroughs ahead of the team's preseason finale against Washington, with the thinking that staying off the calf could maximize his health for Week 1.
