CINCINNATI — The most eventful thing to happen at Paycor Stadium on Friday came hours before the Cincinnati Bengals played their preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers.
Quarterback Joe Burrow had a throwing session for the first time since he suffered a strained right calf July 27. Burrow then wore a bucket hat and stood on the sideline in the team's 36-19 loss to the Packers.
After the exhibition game, Bengals coach Zac Taylor didn't have much to say about Burrow's timetable to return but indicated he's trending in the right direction. «I think things are good and he's progressing as he should,» Taylor said.
While the Bengals' fifth-year coach has remained tight-lipped on when Burrow might return, he has not added any time to his initial prognosis that the star QB will be out for «several weeks,» starting with when he got hurt in late July.
