Burrow needed a cart to get off the practice field July 27 after straining his calf during a team drill and hasn’t practiced since. However, head coach Zac Taylor has said nothing negative to say about about Burrow’s progress. 

Taylor told reporters two weeks ago Burrow looks the best he’s ever seen him in the preseason. 

"This one is in the calf. He looks great," Taylor said. "Physically, just walking around, he looks probably as good as he’s ever looked at this point."

Health hasn’t been the best subject for Burrow the past couple preseasons. He dealt with ACL and MCL recovery in 2021 and had surgery last season for a ruptured appendix. 

Last year’s appendix scare didn’t have Burrow sidelined to start the year. And it appears he will be suiting up to face the Cleveland Browns on the road Sunday.
