Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is expected to start tonight against the Los Angeles Rams despite dealing with a calf injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Burrow aggravated a calf strain in Week 2's loss to the Baltimore Ravens and was questionable for Monday's game as the Bengals look to avoid starting the season 0-3.
