Bengals coach Zac Taylor on Joe Burrow's availability for Monday Night Football against the Rams: Hard to say.

Burrow reinjured his calf in Week 2 and reports say he's still sore as of Monday. The good news is, the Bengals play on Monday night, so there is potentially extra time for Burrow to get back on the field for Week 3. The bad news is it puts owners in a bind heading into the weekend not knowing his status. Browning would get the start if Burrow can't go. The Bengals do host the Rams so it's a potentially favorable matchup at least if owners are forced to start Browning. The Eagles and Bucs also play on Monday night, so it's possible QBs like Baker Mayfield and Matthew Stafford are still on your wire and could serve as last-minute backup plans if Burrow is a late scratch.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow said he tweaked his calf against the Ravens.

Burrow said he feels sore and they’ll wait and see how he feels in a few days. Head coach Zac Taylor did say if the Bengals had another possession that Burrow would have gone back on the field. So like Burrow, we’ll wait and see, but this is already the second calf issue Burrow has had this season going back to training camp and early in the preseason. For the second year in a row, the Bengals start 0-2 and are already behind the 8-ball in the division with losses to the Browns and Ravens.

Bengals’ HC Zac Taylor said Joe Burrow is expected to practice in full today. This puts him on track to start Sunday’s game vs. the Browns.

This is great news for all Cincinnati fantasy pieces, as well as Burrow himself. The QB doesn't often offer much rushing upside, so if he is limited mobility-wise it shouldn't make much of a difference. Burrow is a top-10 Week 1 option.

Ian Rapoport said all signs point to Bengals QB Joe Burrow playing Week 1.

Rapoport went on to say this has been heading in the right direction for a while, ever since Burrow returned to full padded practices a couple days ago. HC Zac Taylor said Burrow is officially considered day-to-day, according to Rapoport, but has looked "really, really good." Rapoport added it remains to be seen if Burrow has a new contract upon his return.

With Burrow back at practice and Jake Browning the only other quarterback on the active roster, this should be a good sign that the starting QB will be ready to go for Week 1. This is the first time Burrow has even thrown warmups in practice since July 27th. There should be no worries about taking him in redraft leagues as normal.

The Bengals have released QB Trevor Siemian.

Burrow is hopeful to be ready for Week 1, but perhaps owners in superflex dynasty leagues were rostering Siemian as an emergency replacement. Browning now looks to be the QB2 for the Bengals as we get closer to the start of the season.

While speaking to reporters on Monday, HC Zac Taylor didn't exactly say when Joe Burrow would be back on the field but noted that he looks as good as he's ever seen him.

"He looks great. Physically just walking around, he looks probably as good as he's ever looked at this point," Taylor said. "That's a positive and we'll just go from there."

The story went on to say Taylor's comments do sound like Burrow is making the proper steps to be available in Week 1. On Sunday, offensive coordinator Brian Callahan also relayed positive news about Burrow's status, saying, "he looks like he is progressing the way he's supposed to." The Bengals feel it won't take Burrow long to get back up to speed when he does return.

Bengals coach Zac Taylor on Joe Burrow: Calf strain. It’ll take several weeks.

Burrow suffered the injury yesterday while rolling to his right with no one around him when he pulled up. He went directly to the ground and didn't get up until the cart approached. Calf strain is the best possible scenario, but this timeline also puts him up against a Week 1 start. There's a chance we see a free-agent signing to compete in a camp battle, which isn't the greatest news for the Bengals' offense as a whole. We'll keep an eye on the situation for further developments.

Joe Burrow pulled up with a non-contact lower leg injury during today's Bengals practice and was carted off the field.

Burrow suffered the injury while rolling to his right with no one around him when he pulled up. He went directly to the ground and didn't get up until the cart approached. It's unknown the severity of the injury but the quarterback tore his left ACL and MCL during the 2020 season that put him on IR from Week 11-on.

Joe Burrow is still day-to-day following his appendectomy.

He is currently leading team meetings, but that doesn't tell us much about his Week 1 availability. At this point, he's still expected to make a quick recovery, but we probably won't see much, or any, of him in the preseason.
