Returned to practice Wednesday (8/30) - a great sign he's on track to play Week 1 - Pro Football Docs still expect he will play mostly from the pocket in the first few weeks of the season

Spotted running on field for first time since July 27 calf strain - likely a Grade 2 strain but unlikely to miss regular season time - he can play Week 1 from the pocket

Pro Football Docs are not concerned about him missing regular season time, however he may not be as mobile early on because calf injuries linger - marks the fourth straight preseason he has to miss time but it hasn't appeared to affect him much

Carted off at practice with an apparent right calf injury - concerning sign for the Bengals QB as calf injuries tend to linger - Pro Football Docs are not worried about an Achilles tear - his 2020 ACL tear was to the other side
