Bengals coach Zac Taylor said Friday that quarterback Joe Burrow will be sidelined "several weeks" after suffering a right calf strain in practice a day earlier.

Burrow was carted off the field Thursday after scrambling to his right and pulling up with a noncontact injury.

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.

Joe Burrow says he won't rush a new deal with the Cincinnati Bengals in the wake of Justin Herbert's massive contract agreement with the Los Angeles Chargers.

Every quarterback who was in major contract discussions with their respective teams have agreed to terms on a new deal this offseason, leaving Burrow as the last one looking for a long-term pact.

"I'm focused on getting a deal done that's good for us, good for me, good for the team and good for everybody," Burrow said. 

He was even more succinct when asked if Herbert's deal will speed up his process.

"It gets done when it gets done," Burrow said.

Joe Mixon has restructured his contract with the Cincinnati Bengals to remain with the team.

Mixon had a $9.4 million non-guaranteed base salary for this season and represented a $12.8 million hit against the salary cap.

Mixon rushed for 814 yards and 7 touchdowns last season.
