The Cincinnati Bengals will reportedly take the decision to start or sit Joe Burrow up until game-time on Monday night as he continues to deal with his right calf strain.
Our panel of former NFL head team physicians assert Burrow has a significant chance to play and play through effectively.
Burrow took first-team reps in a walkthrough on Sunday and was limited in practice on Friday and Saturday. If the team was prioritizing his long-term health, they likely would have sat him out of practice entirely.
On our podcast on Monday, Dr. David Chao discussed why one week of rest would not solve the issue and the calf injury is likely to linger into October.
If Burrow is inactive, Cincinnati will turn to rookie Jake Browning for his first career start.
