NOTE: This column is a living document through Tuesday morning. I'll be updating as needed after team press conferences, imaging reports, Monday Night Football injuries, etc. Major changes to the content will be noted in red.
Scroll to the bottom of this article for a quick look table of the week's most pressing injury situations and a review of players on injured reserve / PUP / NFI.
Footballguys will have close and detailed coverage of all injuries this season. Here's a look at my expected schedule. I will do my best to stick to this. Work and family responsibilities may sometimes cause brief delays.
Monday Injury Rounds: Posted Sunday night, updated through Tuesday AM. Detailed analysis of the week's injuries with table for quick review. Offensive injuries will be live Sunday night. Critical defensive and offensive line injuries will be added throughout the day on Monday. I'll be updating with news and analysis through Tuesday.
Wednesday and Thursday Injury Expectations: Posted late Wednesday and Thursday evening. Analysis of the practice participation report with a table including my projection of each injured player's likely game status. Will include discussion of any major breaking injury news.
Sunday Gameday Expectations: Posted by Saturday afternoon, updated through Sunday morning inactives. Will include individual player blurbs with detailed thoughts on the week's injury news and my speculation on player availability and limitations. Will include table highlighting each day's practice participation, official game status, and my availability expectation.
I'll also be contributing to our waiver wire podcast (Tuesday release), our live Sunday morning pregame show (10 ET Sunday on YouTube), and plan at least one weekly Periscope Q&A (shortly before Monday Night Football) with additional shows if/when possible. As always, I will be retweeting key pieces of news and my own reaction and analysis, so make sure you're following @JeneBramel and checking my timeline on Twitter throughout the week.
INJURY ROUNDS
Aaron Jones | Left MCL sprain | 3-6 Weeks
A source told Ian Rapoport the Packers believe Jones' injury to be a sprained MCL and he is "likely to miss some time." Jones will have an MRI on Monday to further define his injury but the early reports suggest the team is not concerned about a torn ACL or other season-ending injuries. Most mid-grade MCL sprains require a minimum of 2-4 weeks of rehab and recovery. Ultimately, if the only injury is an MCL sprain, Jones' return will be based on how long it takes his knee to regain stability on examination and when making cuts at speed. Week 12 is the most optimistic return date but unlikely. I'll update with any news on Monday.
***Monday Update: Adam Schefter is reporting Jones is "expected to be sidelined 3-6 weeks."
Jacoby Brissett | Concussion | Day-to-Day
Devonta Freeman | Concussion | Day-to-Day
Brissett was reportedly evaluated twice for a concussion before returning to the game, then immediately entered into the return-to-play protocol after reporting symptoms in the locker room after the game. It's not a great look for the league's in-game concussion evaluation protocol and the second questionable decision this week after the Seahawks allowed Russell Wilson to return to their game without proper evaluation.
Brissett will have two weeks to clear the return-to-protocol with the Indianapolis bye next week. Freeman won't have the benefit of the bye week and the Falcons may not be comfortable advancing him quickly through the return-to-play stages after a preseason concussion. Hopefully, both players recover without prolonged symptoms.
***Monday Update: Adam Schefter is reporting Freeman is doubtful this week and may not return for multiple weeks. I think it's too early to project a multiple-week absence for Freeman but it's not surprising to see Atlanta's medical staff planning a cautious approach to returning Freeman after his preseason injury.
Rob Kelley | Right MCL sprain / high ankle sprain | 3-4+ Weeks
Kelley suffered multiple injuries on the same tackle. Already likely in pain from what appeared to be a high ankle sprain, Kelley's knee was further stressed. He is scheduled to have an MRI on Monday after leaving the locker room on crutches with his ankle immobilized in a boot. It's possible Kelley will return sooner than 3-4 weeks but both injury mechanisms looked significant. Consider him doubtful for Week 12, then week-to-week at best.
***Monday Update: Ian Rapoport is reporting Kelley has both suspected injuries -- high ankle sprain and mid-grade MCL sprain. Rapoport did not provide a return-to-play estimate but expect a multiple-week absence.
***Tuesday Update: Kelley has been placed on injured reserve.
Ty Montgomery | Rib injury | Day-to-Day
Montgomery would not answer questions about his injury after the game but it is reasonable to speculate that Sunday's injury is related to the rib injury that limited him last month. There have been no reports on Montgomery's imaging studies or expected return. I'll have more after Monday's press conference.
Allen Hurns | Right knee injury | Awaiting Information
Hurns took a violent hit to the outside of his right knee late in the fourth quarter. There were no replays but Hurns said he was hit in the knee and the injury mechanism was most consistent with an MCL sprain. However, there were reports Hurns left the locker room with a boot on his foot while on crutches. That adds suspicion for a high ankle sprain or a higher fibula fracture. Hurns is unlikely to play this week. Hopefully, he's avoided a season-ending injury.
Others of Note: Sean Lee is likely to miss time with yet another aggravation of his lingering hamstring strain. Brett Hundley finished the game with despite suffering a hamstring strain and will be further evaluated on Monday. Will Fuller has a rib injury without a clear timetable for return. ***Monday Update: Fuller reportedly has cracked ribs and is likely to miss Week 11. Drew Stanton suffered a sprained knee but is tentatively expected to play this week.
FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENTS
Andrew Luck | Right shoulder labrum repair | Injured reserve
David Johnson | Wrist dislocation / fracture | Week-to-Week
Johnson will reportedly have his cast removed this week and begin rehabbing to regain strength and range of motion in his injured wrist. Bruce Arians was pessimistic about Johnson's chances at a 2018 recovery last week. That may eventually prove accurate, but Johnson wants to return. He won't need to be at full strength to return. What is necessary is that he shows an ability to play with a functional splint and the ability to protect himself from further injury. That could happen within the next 2-4 weeks or it may not be until 2018. But a return this season is absolutely possible.
Greg Olsen | Metatarsal fracture fixation | Week-to-Week
The Panthers will be on their bye this week but Olsen is eligible to return to practice. There have been consistent reports around the team expecting Olsen to return to the active roster around Week 12. He has been running and reconditioning for multiple weeks. If he proves football-ready quickly, there's a chance Olsen can return to his pre-injury role in Week 12.
Jameis Winston | Right AC sprain / deltoid contusion | Week-to-Week
Tampa Bay general manager Jason Licht told the team's radio host Winston could "miss an extended period of time" and the team has "no timeline on this." That's likely not as concerning as it sounds. There's no indication Winston has an undisclosed injury or that his condition may require surgery. It can be difficult to put a reliable recovery timetable on AC injuries -- especially aggravated sprains. And don't underestimate how hard players fight not to miss games. Once a player misses a game, it's clear to them, the coaching staff, and fans, their injury is significant. Taking the necessary time to rehab becomes an easier sell. Don't expect Winston to return if there's any risk of aggravation or compensatory injury to any part of his throwing mechanism. I think he'll return this season but his return will be closer to 3-4 weeks than 1-2 weeks.
Jordan Reed | Hamstring strain | Week-to-Week
Reed was cleared to return to individual drills on Wednesday and Thursday last week, then did not practice on Friday. Instead of late week rest, the missed Friday practice was followed by Washington making Reed inactive on Sunday. It's not yet known whether Reed suffered a setback or the rest was part of his planned rehab. Either way, Reed should be considered questionable for Week 11.
Chris Hogan | Shoulder injury | Week-to-Week
Hogan was seen in the New England locker room on Monday in a sling over a week after his Week 8 shoulder injury. A sling on the shoulder is similar to a walking boot on the ankle -- it's difficult to completely immobilize a shoulder joint but a sling is a good approximation. It's very unlikely Hogan can progress to clearance for contact within 7-10 days of being in the sling. There were no specific timetables on Hogan's recovery reported. The most specific report was "a few weeks." It's unlikely Hogan will travel to Mexico City this week. There's an outside chance he'll be ready to return in Week 12.
Others of Note: Danny Woodhead could be returned to the active roster in Baltimore after three weeks of reconditioning. Corey Coleman and Dede Westbrook are also practicing with roster exemptions. Westbrook is likely to return to the active roster this week. Coleman may be another week away. Matt Forte remains week-to-week with swelling in his balky knee and will have a bye week to continue his recovery. Eddie Lacy had little chance of recovering from a groin strain for last Thursday night's game. We'll find out whether he has a longer-term injury this week.
