Sunday Night Football Notes
[including IDP injuries]
(Updated Monday Oct 5th)
Bears:
The Bears explosive return man and receiver Devin Hester left Sunday’s game early after suffering what appears to be a possible stinger according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Hester was noted as leaving Soldier Field wearing a neck brace. Rookie receiver Johnny Knox was also knocked out of Sunday’s matchup with the Lions with a shin injury. Neither of the two injuries appear to be serious and both receivers are expected to be back following the team’s bye in week 5.
Broncos:
Running back Correll Buckhalter left the game on Sunday in the third quarter with an ankle injury not to return. According to the Denver Post Buckhalter was sporting crutches after the game and calling it “just a sprained ankle.” There is no timetable for his return, but with Moreno looking sharp there’s no hurry to rush Buck back.
Cowboys:
Receiver Roy Williams suffered rib cartilage damage on Sunday in the team's loss to the Broncos. Williams status for week 5 is uncertain.
Eagles:
Both quarterback Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook participated in practice on Monday according to the NFL Network. Both players have missed time due to injury this season, but are hopeful to return in week 5.
Giants:
Quarterback Eli Manning suffered a non-contact injury to his right leg on Sunday in the team’s victory over the Chiefs. After experiencing swelling and soreness Monday, Manning had an MRI taken on the right leg with results expected later on Monday. According to The Star-Ledger, linebacker Michael Boley could be sidelined a few weeks with a knee injury. Boley is still undergoing tests and nothing has been confirmed to this point.
Lions:
According to the Detroit Free Press, Head Coach Jim Schwartz is calling quarterback Matt Stafford’s knee injury day-to-day. Both wide receiver Calvin Johnson (quad) and running back Kevin Smith (shoulder) are also being noted as day-to-day according to Schwartz.
Raiders:
Head coach Tom Cable said running back Darren McFadden would undergo surgery Tuesday morning for a meniscus tear according to Jerry McDonald’s Twitter page. McFadden could miss from two to four weeks. According to the Associated Press tight end Zach Miller suffered a concussion on Sunday and his status for Sunday is uncertain.
Rams:
Quarterback Marc Bulger did some light throwing on Monday at the team’s practice facility. Head coach Steve Spagnuolo called his availability for week 5 questionable.
Ravens:
Offensive lineman Jared Gaither suffered a neck injury on Sunday against the Patriots. He left the game on a stretcher and did not return. According to The Baltimore Sun X-rays taken on his neck and shoulder came back negative. He’s likely to be questionable for week 5 and the rookie tackle Michael Oher would move over to left tackle in his absence.
Seahawks:
According to the Seattle Times defensive end Patrick Kearney is doubtful for week 5 after suffering a groin injury on Sunday. Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck is expected to practice Wednesday and the team is hopeful he can return to action on Sunday
Titans:
Wide receiver Nate Washington suffered a hard hit Sunday late in the game and did not return. It was reported he had a bad headache, but his injury is not feared to be serious. Starting cornerback Nick Harper also suffered a rib injury on Sunday. Harper is scheduled for X-rays and his availability for week 5 is questionable.
