Week 2 is off and running and so are the latest reports of key injuries. Which NFL teams suffered blows early on Sunday?
Green departs for Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals top receiver injured his right toe against Atlanta, and it didn’t take long for them to declaring him out the rest of the game.
Robert Griffin III and DeSean Jackson both out for Redskins
Despite Washington holding a sizeable lead over Jacksonville, their news hasn’t been great. Robert Griffin III got off to a good start but exited in the 1st quarter after landing awkwardly on his ankle. He was carted off. Not long after that receiver DeSean Jackson left the field with a shoulder problem. He went to the locker room and was also declared out.
Knowshon Moreno leaves game for Miami Dolphins with elbow injury
The unfortunate injury history for Knowshon Moreno continues. After a great debut in week 1, the running suffered what many believe was a nasty elbow injury against the Buffalo Bills. He is not expected to return.
Eric Berry and Jamaal Charles iffy with ankle problems
The Kansas City Chiefs were already dealing with problems along their offensive line. Losing skill position players was not something they could afford against Denver. Unfortunately they had to watch both safety Eric Berry and running back Jamaal Charles leave with ankle injuries. Both are deemed questionable to return.
