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

[Paul Costa]

I think they will put him on the PUP. Miss the first 4 games but should be 100 % by week 5. That would be the smart thing to do. As a Bills fan I hope he plays week 1 VS the Browns. They should be 3-2 after week 5 if he’s on the PUP. Pretty easy schedule

They open with two divisional games.  Browns and Ravens.  

Here in Baltimore, I had about 10 happy Ravens at work telling me about this in the afternoon.

Burrow sure gets hurt a lot. That must a very significant strain, closer to a full tear than a minor strain for him to be missing additional weeks on top of what they initially thought...

Burrow isn't great at reading pressure if ask me.

Are people really this bad at reading comprehension?  There is literally zero new information from what Taylor said.  When the injury originally happened, Taylor said Burrow would be out “several weeks”.  Today he said that Burrow would be out for several weeks from when he said several weeks.  That is no different than if he had originally said 5 weeks and then today said it would be 5 weeks from when he said it would be 5 weeks.

Except that’s not the case - it was pointed out upthread that whoever posted that update here completely misinterpreted it, either intentionally or unintentionally. All Taylor said today essentially is nothing has changed.

No it means he will be out longer than they originally thought.

several+several=severaler

0 + several weeks = several weeks.  He didn’t say it would be several more weeks than he originally said.

 

It’s like a dad joke that everyone’s missing.  “Dad, what time is it?”   “It’s 5 minutes later than it was when you asked 5 minutes ago…haha”.

I agree with what you are saying, but then why wouldn't he just say same as before? Seems like he is purposely muddying the waters

Or he’s just being a prick to reporters because he’s tired of the same question every day.

Exactly.  If Burrow’s injury was discovered to be significantly more serious than originally thought, they wouldn’t publicize it via an off-handed remark to some reporter’s question.  That would be huge news, and they’d make a statement on it.  

 

It would be like Andy Reid casually mentioning that Mahomes’s ankle wasn’t quite healed.

Several weeks =several weeks

 

Original injury and inquiry=t^0

 

New inquiry= t^1= several weeks

 

t^1≠t^0

On July 27th, Taylor said Burrow would be healthy [[one month]] from today.  Today, Taylor said Burrow would be healthy [[one month]] from July 27th.

 

Nothing changed.  You got got.

Once again: “the timeline is several weeks from when I said several weeks.”

 

you can choose to ignore that clause all you want in this little quest to be right, but it won’t work.
