Joe Burrow‘s New Injury Proves He Needs a Contract Extension
He mentioned that it is just a calf strain for him. Joe Burrow, the NFL, the Cincinnati Bengals, and everyone else can sense a sigh of relief for now. This is the second straight training camp that he has suffered an injury. He had to undergo an appendectomy last season.
Oh boy. This is the play Joe Burrow suffered his injury …. and it does not look good.

With Joe Burrow’s latest injury, it is time for him and the Cincinnati Bengals to get a contract extension done. Burrow is entering his fourth NFL season, and his fifth-year option has already been picked up for 2024.
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert just received an NFL record contract on Tuesday night. It was a five-year deal worth $262.5 million, and will go through the 2029 season.
Also, the Cincinnati Bengals’ Twitter page had a sense of humor about Burrow’s calf.
