They get carts out for cramps?

Bengals fans point out that it’s a bizarrely long walk from the practice field to the facility … so that could make sense.. but probably wishful thinking.

Looks like just a bad cramp. I hope he's alright, I would hate to see him get badly injured on the cusp of being the highest paid player in NFL history.

the Zupruder film says it’s a knee.

Bengals ownership now realizing now is the time to extend Burrow for a box of Twinkie’s.

[Goin Breakdown]

As a man- get better dude. 
As a player- I will revert to last year when many people said no one is crying that the bills were dealing with injuries. 

[Ben]

Now this would really suck

At training camp they'll put players on the cart for any lower leg injury just for precaution.

Unless it’s an achilles injury.

That did not look like an Achilles; they're typically much more painful when it first happens.

Nothing worse than an injury at camp or preseason. I don’t wish that on anyone or any team.

I've witnessed 2 achilles tears from within 10-20ft away, neither were very in much pain. It looked a lot Burrow, just hopping & going down, followed by f-bombs. Not saying that's what Burrow has, I imagine any calf injury gets the "hop & plop" response.

Mike Brown slipping the groundskeeper a check as thanks for saving him money on Burrow's contract as we speak.

Kevin Durant is probably the one people remember most, and that looked like this. 
 

That being said, the comments from people somewhat in the know, make it sound like he thankfully dodged that bullet.

100%

 

calf strain turns into a rupture at tendon / muscle junction

 

if he ruptured it they’ll tell us by tomorrow 

 

if no news it’s a muscle strain / like a hammy. He should be ok as a qb to play week 1

[somnus00]

Hate to see this happen. He's one of the bright young qbs in the league. On the cusp of a big record breaking contract. I hope he's okay.

Better a calf than a knee, I suppose. Hope he’s okay.

My first thought when I saw it was achilles, so calf is definitely way better than that one.

[Nick the Greek]

He will be fine for the kickoff of the season.
