On July 27, 2023, Joe Burrow was running across the field and suddenly started hopping on one leg. He then rolled onto the ground. Medical staff examined the leg and Burrow was swiftly taken away from the field on a cart.

Bengals coach Zac Taylor addressed his player’s injuries in a press conference. “I think a lot of guys after the first day have some soreness,” he told reporters, per Fox 19 Now in Cincinnati. “He was just scrambling. This is football. Guys go down with an injury. This could be a day thing, who knows? There’s a lot of guys that had soreness today that had their reps cut down a little bit. That’s just part of football in training camp.”

Ja’marr Chase told reporters that he isn’t so concerned about his teammates injury. “We always give each other that nod,” Chase told The Athletic. “He gave me a nod he’s all right. He’s a strong dude.”

Before the start of training, Joe Burrow addresses his bad luck at the start of each season and explains his excitement for training. “I know I’m going to be able to get a lot more out of this training camp than I have the last couple, as long as stay healthy, which like I said, ‘knock on wood.’ Nothing’s happened yet,” Burrow said, per the team’s official website. “The more reps you get at the position, the more game speed reps, the better you’re going to be when it comes Week 1. I’ve grinded all offseason and I’m in a great spot physically and mentally. So, I’m ready to attack this training camp with intensity and shoot for perfection. That’s what I’m excited about.”

July 2022: Joe Burrow’s appendix ruptured

During the 2022 training camp, Joe Burrow’s appendix ruptured and he had to watch from the medical cart. “It wasn’t normal appendicitis that you hear about,” Burrow said in a press conference. “I didn’t really feel much. Just getting checked out and had some discomfort so we thought we’d get it checked out. Turns out I had it. So we had to get it fixed.”

“When they cut into you and do all that stuff your core is going to lose some muscle and some strength just getting that back,” he continued. “I’d like to have a normal offseason at some point,” Burrow said. “That would be great. Going into the season feeling as good as I can, but that hasn’t been the reality for three years. Make the most of what you got. We’ll try again next year.”
