One of the biggest rivals for the Kansas City Chiefs may be without their quarterback moving forward.

 

Cincinnati Bengals signal caller Joe Burrow was carted off the field during yesterday's practice after a non-contact injury to his right leg. Burrow had been wearing a sleeve on the leg for the first time in his career, after complaining of discomfort earlier in the week.

 

It appears the Bengals may have avoided a nightmare scenario, however, as the injury has been deemed not season impacting. ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter says Burrow has been diagnosed with a right calf strain.

 

Burrow is not expected to play any snaps in the preseason, and will have six weeks to heal before the season opener against the Cleveland Browns.

 

The Bengals and Chiefs square off at Arrowhead Stadium on December 31st.
