Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, who is nursing a right calf injury, is feeling better and will try to start against the Rams on Monday Night Football, according to Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Dianna Russini of The Athletic first reported there was optimism that Burrow would start Monday night. He’s apparently trending in the right direction but still pleading with the coaching staff and trainers to play. It’s still uncertain whether he’ll be allowed to give it a go.
Burrow initially injured his right calf during training camp and re-aggravated it in the team’s 27–24 loss to the Ravens in Week 2. Jake Browning, who has only attempted one pass in his NFL career, is the only other QB on the Bengals’ roster.
