Joe Burrow was carted off the field with a non-contact injury to his right calf. 

The early assessment is Burrow is dealing with a calf strain.

This is the third straight training camp that Burrow has dealt with an injury. In 2021, Burrow was recovering from a torn ACL and MCL in his left knee that ended his rookie season in 2020, when he entered the league during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Last year, Burrow suffered a ruptured appendix that required surgery days before the start of training camp.

Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals are in discussions on a contract extension.

Saquon Barkley and the New York Giants did not reach agreement on a long-term agreement.

Barkley is not expected report to training camp on time and is undecided on when he will join the Giants. 

The Detroit Lions have compared Jahmyr Gibbs in how he is a positionless running back similar to Christian McCaffrey. The Lions used the 12th overall pick on Gibbs.

GM Brad Holmes told Peter Schrager he views Gibbs as a "multi-phase, elite, explosive, positionless weapon."

The GM mentioned Gibbs could have the same impact on the Lions' offense as two of the greatest dual-threat backs in NFL history.

"When I first got with the Rams in 2003, Marshall Faulk was still there, and I was a huge Marshall Faulk guy -- just kind of seeing what he does in both phases," Holmes said. "And just from a scouting standpoint, when Christian McCaffrey came out, he was the last guy that I was like, 'Holy cow, this guy can run routes like a slot receiver but also run it.' So, you start getting reminders of those players. I'm not sitting here saying Jahmyr Gibbs is those players, but (he's) just a special weapon like that. We have a lot of excitement and optimism."
