Ja’Marr Chase, Bengals’ wide receiver, assured everyone that Burrow is a strong guy and will be okay. “We always give each other that nod,” Chase said. “He gave me a nod he’s all right. He’s a strong dude.”
Ja'Marr Chase in the locker room said he went over to talk to Joe Burrow when he went down on the field.
"We always give each other that nod … He gave me a nod he's all right. He's a strong dude."

Later, it was confirmed that the quarterback suffered a right calf strain.
Injury update on the QB
When Joe Burrow was taken from the field, the team didn’t share any details about what had happened to the quarterback. However, later it was confirmed that he suffered a right calf strain and will be further tested.
It is still not confirmed how long the quarterback will take to recover. But as he is the primary quarterback of the team, the Bengals will need to do something about the situation.
The backup of Joe Burrow could be Trevor Siemian who is the Bengals’ second-string quarterback. He has signed a one-year deal with the team. Until Burrow recovers, he could help the team during the practice sessions.
But the best thing for the team will probably be the fast recovery of Burrow. He should also be able to join the team during the practice sessions in an attempt at keeping the spirits high. However, he should take his time with recovery as rushing things could end up making things worse for himself and the team.
