Cincinnati Bengals fans are likely breathing a sigh of relief after hearing head coach Zac Taylor give an answer to quarterback Joe Burrow being carted off the practice field on Thursday. 

Burrow suffered a calf injury, Taylor told reporters, which led to him pulling up during a team drill at training camp. However, when a non-contact injury like that happens, everyone tends to think worst-case scenario. 

Taylor added that he has no other information about the injury at this time.

Burrow was seen being helped by numerous people getting on the cart, as he hopped without his right leg touching the turf.

The injury was captured on video, where Burrow was seen scrambling out of the pocket, running to his right while looking upfield. 

All of a sudden, Burrow pulled up and hopped around without putting his right leg on the ground.

It goes without saying how important Burrow is to the Bengals’ success, since he was their first overall selection three seasons ago.
