Bengals HC Zac Taylor: Joe Burrow strain will take "several weeks"

Jul 28, 2023

Bengals coach Zac Taylor on Joe Burrow: Calf strain. It’ll take several weeks.

Related Players: Trevor Siemian, Jake Browning

Fantasy Impact:

Burrow suffered the injury yesterday while rolling to his right with no one around him when he pulled up. He went directly to the ground and didn't get up until the cart approached. Calf strain is the best possible scenario, but this timeline also puts him up against a Week 1 start. There's a chance we see a free-agent signing to compete in a camp battle, which isn't the greatest news for the Bengals' offense as a whole. We'll keep an eye on the situation for further developments.

Cooler weather for Bucs practice today -- Wirfs and Evans practicing again. Still no Zyon McCollum, but Troy Hill and Greg Gaines were practicing today.

Fantastic news for fantasy managers hanging on to Mike Evans: he should be considered a WR1 option immediately.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
