Won’t sniff the field preseason (not necessary). 100% by game 1.

I’ll put money on more than 2 weeks

Significant calf strains sound like nothing but takes more than 2 weeks to be a full go

He is the franchise. They won’t be pushing this in the preseason. They don’t want it to recur and linger during the real season

I did as well. You can diagnose a ruptured Achilles with the Thompson Test in seconds.

However just tears are more difficult.

Burrow will not see any preseason action you can book it after this.

He would have known immediately if he had tore his Achilles

There is a post right above yours by a guy who tore his achilles but thought it was a calf strain.

His calf had a sleeve on it before he went down. I’m wondering if that leg was already giving him soreness and he tried to play through it.

I tore one of the 3 calf muscles in 2019 just climbing up on a utility trailor. I was on crutches for 6 weeks and it took about 3 months to totally heal. That was a torn muscles and there is really no surgery to repair that is a good option. Hopefully it is a pull and not a tear.
