Taylor: Burrow could miss “several weeks” with calf strain

CINCINNATI (AP) — Bengals coach Zac Taylor says quarterback Joe Burrow could miss “several weeks” with a right calf strain.

The 26-year-old franchise quarterback hobbled on one leg and then went to the ground after a scramble play near the end of practice Thursday.

Backup QBs Jake Browning and Trevor Siemian took the snaps on Friday.

Burrow is still negotiating with the Bengals on a long-term contract that could make him one of the NFL’s highest-paid players.
