UPDATE 7/28: A tweet from the NFL confirms the injury Joe Burrow sustained was a calf strain. Bengals Head Coach Zac Taylor says Burrow will miss "several weeks." The original story is below.

Joe Burrow appears to be suffering from an unknown injury sustained during a July 27 practice, according to local media reports.

Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals' star quarterback, is seen in pictures and videos posted to X (formerly Twitter) clutching his calf on the ground before being removed from the field by a cart.
