Burrow’s injury is a significant blow to the Bengals. He is the team’s starting quarterback and one of the best young quarterbacks in the NFL. The Bengals were hoping that Burrow would lead them to a Super Bowl this season, but his injury could put a damper on those plans.

Calf strains are a common injury among NFL quarterbacks. This is because quarterbacks often have to make sudden movements with their legs, which can put a strain on the calf muscles.

The recovery time for a calf strain varies depending on the severity of the injury. Grade 1 calf strains typically heal within 1-2 weeks, while grade 2 and 3 calf strains can take up to 6 weeks or more to heal.
