Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow was carted off the field Thursday during a Bengals practice with an apparent leg injury.

Video captured by reporters show the former LSU national championship-winning quarterback – without contact – while moving out of the pocket.

Bengals coach Zac Taylor told reporters after practice Burrow suffered a calf injury for Joe Burrow.

Burrow looked to be wearing a sleeve on injured leg. He was helped to the cart by the team’s medical staff.

His contract has been a big topic of conversation as training camp started this week.

Burrow dodged questions about a new contract Wednesday, telling reporters that “it gets done when it gets done.”

The team had hoped to reach a long-term deal with the franchise quarterback that could make him one of the NFL’s highest paid players. But negotiations have run into training camp while other star quarterbacks have inked rich extensions.

On Tuesday, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert became the highest paid quarterback by annual salary, agreeing Tuesday to a five-year, $262.5 million extension Herbert’s total value and $52.5 million average per season surpasses the $260 million, five-year extension ($52 million average) Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson signed three months ago. Deshaun Watson agreed to a fully guaranteed $230 million deal with Cleveland in 2022.

Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes is in the third year of a 10-year contract worth $450 million, the largest overall deal for a quarterback.

The 26-year-old Burrow led the Bengals to a Super Bowl after the 2021 season, a 23-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
