The Cincinnati Bengals have made a major move in the NFL by signing Joe Burrow, the number one overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Despite suffering a calf injury in the Bengals’ Week 12 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams, Burrow is still expected to play for the Bengals this season.
The injury occurred in the fourth quarter of the game when Burrow was tackled by Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald. Burrow was able to walk off the field under his own power, but he was later diagnosed with a calf strain. Despite the injury, Burrow is expected to make a full recovery and be ready to play for the Bengals this season.
The Bengals have been looking for a franchise quarterback since they drafted Carson Palmer in 2003. With Burrow, they now have a young, talented quarterback who can lead them to success for years to come. The Bengals are also hoping that Burrow can help them turn their fortunes around after a dismal 2-10-1 record last season.
Burrow has already shown that he has the potential to be a great quarterback in the NFL. In his first season at LSU, he threw for 5,671 yards and 60 touchdowns, leading the Tigers to an undefeated season and a national championship. He also won the Heisman Trophy and was named the AP Player of the Year.
Burrow’s injury is certainly concerning, but it appears that he will be able to make a full recovery and be ready to play for the Bengals this season. With Burrow at the helm, the Bengals have a chance to turn their fortunes around and become a competitive team in the NFL.
