Joe Burrow starts for Bengals vs. Rams after being questionable with calf injury

CINCINNATI (AP) — Joe Burrow started for the Cincinnati Bengals in Monday night’s game against the Los Angeles Rams.

The star quarterback has been dealing with a calf injury but was a full participant in warmups without any obvious discomfort and went out for the Bengals’ first offensive series.

It wasn’t clear until just before the game whether Burrow would play. The injury occurred early in training camp, and he aggravated it late in the Bengals’ loss to Baltimore last week.

Burrow returned to practice on Thursday on a limited basis, and on Saturday the team listed him as questionable.
