The Cincinnati Bengals received a scare two weeks ago when quarterback Joe Burrow was carted off the practice field following a calf injury. 

The 2022 Pro Bowl quarterback suffered a calf strain that is expected to keep him sidelined for "several weeks," head coach Zac Taylor said the day after the injury.

Burrow was seen running and throwing on the field Friday before Cincinnati’s first preseason game against the Green Bay Packers.

"He’s progressing as he should," Taylor said after the game, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. "Everything's been positive."

Burrow was a spectator at Wednesday’s joint practice with the Packers, which was the first time he has been on the field since the injury. 

"He's been rehabbing quite a bit," Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan said after the joint practice, per ESPN. "He's doing a good job, and to have him out at practice is always beneficial. Guys like seeing him, too. I think you saw everybody excited to have him out, standing around watching."
