Per head coach Zac Taylor, the injury happened on a tackle by Ravens pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney.

It’s the end of a frustrating season for Burrow, who was just starting to come back from a slow start after a preseason calf strain. Burrow had aggravated that injury in Cincinnati’s Week 2 game against the Ravens.
The Bengals have backup Jake Browning on the roster, and Browning completed eight of 14 passes for 68 yards and a touchdown against Baltimore’s top-tier defense — albeit in a 34-20 loss that put the 5-5 Bengals on the outside looking in when it came to the playoff picture.
That view obviously became more difficult to make out after this news.
