Burrow was forced to leave the game in the second quarter.

The Bengals are unsure of the severity of the injury.

Burrow has dealt with a calf strain earlier this season.

The Bengals are coming off a four-game winning streak.

Burrow's injury is a significant setback for the Bengals.

The Bengals will need to rely on backup Jake Browning in the meantime.

It is unclear how long Burrow will be out.

The Bengals will need to step up their game without Burrow.

The Bengals are hoping to get Burrow back on the field as soon as possible.
