Week 3 Early Injury Reportby Mark Wimer, Exclusive to Footballguys.com
Quarterback
Brooks injured his shoulder (sprained rotator cuff in his throwing arm) early in the game on Sunday, and did not return to game action. An MRI is scheduled for Monday. If healthy, he'll remain the starter, according to coach Shell.
Green sat out of the game on Sunday as expected (concussion, out on Friday).
Running Back
Barber had his right knee iced and wrapped after the game on Sunday. The injury is considered minor as of Monday, but Barber owners will want to check his practice time/injury status later in the week just to be safe. There are also reports that Barber has a bruised left arm being evaluated further on Monday.
Cobbs suffered a badly sprained right ankle to open overtime on Sunday, and did not return to action. He'll be evaluated further as the week goes along, but the initial indications are not good. He is on crutches as a result of the injury.
Daniels missed the game on Sunday, despite being listed as probable on Friday's injury report (thigh injury).
Dorsey was unable to play on Sunday due to his injured ankle (out on Friday's injury report).
Fason was inactive on Sunday despite being listed as probable on Friday (shoulder).

Hall was inactive on Sunday due to his injured ankle (he was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report).

Jordan twisted an ankle during the game on Sunday but returned to action - the injury is considered minor at this time.
Joseph has been placed on IR due his sprained MCL (right knee).
Karney missed the game on Sunday, as expected (listed as out on Friday). He is expected to miss 1-3 more games due to his strained right calf - FB Corey McIntyre joined the Saints when FB Keith Joseph was placed on IR last week.
Mahe was active, but did not play on Sunday, after being listed as questionable on Friday due to his sore ankle.
Portis missed the game on Sunday due to soreness in his injured shoulder, although coach Gibbs said that it was in a different location than the previous injury. He was listed as doubtful on Friday. "We've just got to get the soreness out of there," Gibbs commented. "We'll see at what point he can bounce back and practice."
Smith had a hand x-rayed after the game, although no injury was reported by the coaching staff. Given the injuries along the OL, it would be a further blow to the team if Smith was injured...
Ward missed the game on Sunday due to his injured foot (he was listed as out on Friday).
Westbrook, who played well on Sunday in spite of a mid-week knee issue, had swelling in the joint as of Monday afternoon - the injury will be further evaluated, but at this point it is clear that the joint was irritated by the action on Sunday. Keep an eye on his injury status later this week, as well as his participation in practices (or lack thereof).
Wide Receiver
Bodiford was inactive on Sunday as expected (knee, out on Friday's injury report).
Booker reportedly tweaked his ankle on Sunday - but he played and caught 3/33/0.

Jackson played in the game on Sunday and his hamstring appears to be healed (2/42/1 receiving on Sunday). He said after the game "A hamstring, that injury takes time to heal. And that’s what I did, tried to take my time, and it took a long time for it to get down and get healed."
Jacobs suffered a hamstring injury in the game on Sunday and is questionable for the next contest as of Monday.
Johnson suffered a bruised right shoulder early in the game vs. Cleveland, and then a cut chin/concussion late in the game on a hard hit from S Brian Russell. Carson Palmer commented "I talked to Chad. He's a little loopy. He took a shot to the head. He's a little out of it, but he'll come to his senses." Receivers' coach Hue Jackson had to assist Johnson in the showers and help him to dress, and a team trainer drove him home. The severity of this concussion will be assessed further as the week goes on, but the initial reports make it look like more than a minor issue.
Jurevicius missed the game on Sunday as expected (ribs, out on Friday). However, he did get some good news mid-week last week, discovering that his ribs were not broken (but very bruised and sore).
McCardell suffered a minor tweak to a hamstring on Sunday - the injury isn't considered serious.
Owens suffered a broken finger early in the game on Sunday, but stayed in for most of the game, assuming it was a jammed finger - but x-rays revealed a break. "I'll have surgery within the next day or so and they'll probably put some pins in there," Owens commented. "I could be out anywhere from two to four weeks, but I think I'm a quick healer."

Smith will be evaluated further as the week goes along, as side-effects from concussions can appear days after the initial injury.
Smith missed the second regular season game due to ongoing struggles with a pulled hamstring. He was listed as questionable on Friday, but didn't travel with the team to Minnesota.
Stokley played and caught a TD during the game on Sunday, but aggravated his left ankle injury (sprain) and was unable to finish the game. He'll be evaluated further as the week goes along - it appears the ankle is becoming an ongoing issue, though.

White suffered a rib injury during the game on Sunday and did not return to action. The severity of the injury is not clear as of Monday.
Williamson sprained his left shoulder during the game on Sunday, but returned in a shoulder harness to make some key plays later in the game. Said coach Childress after the game "He's learned how to grind it out a little bit. Sometimes those elite athletes don't fight through a little 'owie,' a little hamstring, a little bump, a little bruise. He's a football player." Childress characterized the injury as minor on Monday.

He'll be evaluated further as the week goes along - his owners will want to keep an eye on his progress/practice time as the week goes along. "He just keeps wearing it down," head coach Tom Coughlin commented after the game. "The one thing that was good was last week at this time it was the same and then he got better each day during the course of the week."
Smith suffered a sprained shoulder during the game on Sunday. The severity of the sprain is under evaluation.
Stevens continues to miss games due to his torn knee cartilage, as expected. He probably won't be back on the field for a few more weeks.
