Burrow hurt UPDATE: Per Taylor: It’s a calf strain; will be out “several” weeks

[K D]

The latest as per Taylor is "it will be another few weeks added to the original he will be out several weeks." Sounds like he's missing the start of the season. Although Bengals started the last few seasons with a losing streak and they have come back from that before but we'll see.

My guess is he’s back by week 3, week 4 at the latest.

They open with two divisional games.  Browns and Ravens.

Yup, he's saying it's the same timeline as before, no new updates

This is what I read. They did not take it as sarcastic:

I believe the Bengals insiders more than SI but I guess it's just confusing that we can get 2 different stories from different sources based on a coach's comment

"several weeks from when I said several weeks" is very odd phrasing.  Could just as easily mean "no change in timeline" or "double the initial timeline" - Doesn't really clarify anything!

It does not imply the second thing under any logical reading of the statement. You would need to fundamentally change key parts of the statement to get it to mean that 

[Sammy Watkins' Rib]

I think it’s been close to several weeks since he first said several weeks. So we should be expecting him back in about a week?

I hope they rush him right back in there.

“The timeline [Burrow’s return] is several weeks from when I said several weeks,”

 

Ambiguity is a terrible thing.

[Doc]

So he'll be out longer than they thought.

Zac Taylor talking like a Tarantino character.

Love that movie.

Not the insignificant minor injury everyone thought after a major injury was ruled out. I hope for Burrow's sake this isn't a nagging injury that hampers him all season, better they sit him out weeks 1-2 than have him try to play through it and be banged up all year because he didn't get the proper rest he needed.

No one knows the degree or severity of the injury besides Burrow, the team and their doctors.

I don’t think they ever really had an idea how long and they probably still don’t.

  That maybe the case but gotta figure part of that losing streak to begin their season may have been as they were getting up to speed.  Let's say they start off decently then burrows returns but very rusty and they lose0 any momentum they had built up could be a situation that derails their season.  I'm OK with that having had injuries derail last year for Bills.
