One day after Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow went down during practice with what looked to be an injury to his lower right leg, head coach Zac Taylor gave a brief update about Burrow's status Friday afternoon.

Taylor confirmed Burrow had a calf strain and will be out "several weeks." He wouldn't answer when asked whether the recovery would bleed into the regular season.

Burrow was carted off during Day 2 of Bengals training camp after he pulled up while running. He already had his right calf in a sleeve, and it's still not known whether it was bothering him before practice began.

Alarm bells typically go off anytime "Joe Burrow" and "carted off" are in the same sentence, so the concern after practice Thursday was on the severity of the injury. For Taylor, it wasn't serious enough for him to say anything to the team about it.

"There's no message, this is football," Taylor said. "Guys go down with an injury that maybe is a day thing, who knows? We don't message to the team after every single person goes down."

Burrow's longtime teammate, Ja'Marr Chase, also checked in with Burrow after the injury and said that his QB was going to be fine.

"We always give each other that nod," Chase said. "He gave me a nod he's all right. He's a strong dude."

Taylor only spoke about Burrow for maybe 10 seconds Friday, but the general vibe from him and the rest of the team isn't panic. Since training camp just started, there's no better time to have an injury like this. Burrow can rest the calf for a few weeks and jump into prep once he's ready (though maybe not literally).
