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
Robert Woods | Left shoulder injury | Week-to-Week
Woods was driven to the turf on his left shoulder late in the fourth quarter and immediately reacted in pain. He was carted off and later left the locker room in a sling. It's often misleading to rely on player reactions but it was clear Woods was not comfortable after the injury. The Rams did not provide any information on Woods after the game but the most likely possibilities are an AC sprain or collarbone fracture. Generally, a concern for collarbone fracture is reported quickly, leaving the AC sprain as the most likely diagnosis. Expect to hear more about Woods tomorrow after the team sees MRI results. If it's an AC sprain, Woods could return without missing any time or could need 1-3 weeks to recover. I'll update after the Rams' Monday press conference.
***Monday Update: Sean McVay told reporters tonight Woods will miss "a couple of weeks" or more. That makes a collarbone fracture unlikely. Expect this injury to be similar to what Jameis Winston's or the shoulder injury that limited Randall Cobb two years ago.
Kelvin Benjamin | Right knee sprain | Week-to-Week
Benjamin was hit directly on his right knee and did not return to the game. The hyperextension mechanism leaves many possibilities. Knee ligament sprains (PCL, less likely ACL or LCL) and bone bruises are the most likely findings. Consider Benjamin questionable for Week 12 and hope for a brief absence.
***Monday Update: Sean McDermott told reporters Benjamin's MRI did not show ligament damage but would not update his status for this week. The most likely remaining diagnosis is a bruise around the knee. There's an outside chance he could play this week if the injury is not to a weight-bearing area. More likely, he'll miss this week's game.
Chris Thompson | Fibula fracture / High ankle sprain | 8+ Weeks | Out for Season
Like many other players rolled up on from the side or behind, Thompson's foot and ankle were caught underneath his body. The high ankle sprain mechanism stresses the ligament between the two lower leg bones and is often severe enough to fracture the bone on the outside of the lower leg. That's what happened to Thompson. He'll likely have surgery to stabilize the ligament injury and may need fixation of the fracture as well. He will be out for the rest of the season but should be fully recovered well in advance of next season.
D'Onta Foreman | Achilles tear | 8-9 Months | Out for Season
Foreman reportedly tore his Achilles tendon. Though the mechanism was atypical, Foreman's reaction and the on-field exam support the expectation. Foreman will likely have surgery and be placed on injured reserve after an MRI confirms the injury tomorrow. Achilles tendon tears have not been the career-threatening injury they once were but a difficult recovery lies ahead. Foreman is likely to miss all offseason workouts and could start training camp on the PUP list.
Others of Note: Marshon Lattimore was unable to return with a low ankle sprain but should be considered day-to-day. Emmanuel Ogbah is likely done for the season with a foot fracture. Leonard Floyd has at least a high-grade MCL sprain and may have suffered additional damage (meniscus, ACL).
FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENTS
Devonta Freeman | Concussion | Week-to-Week | Week 12+ Return
Early last week, Adam Schefter hinted Freeman could need multiple weeks to recover from his Week 10 concussion. While it's not surprising the Falcons chose to manage Freeman's current concussion carefully after an earlier concussion this preseason, it's hard to project a multiple week return-to-play expectation so soon after a concussion. This week's practice participation will be informative. If Freeman is cleared for a limited practice -- football-specific individual drills -- on Wednesday, there's a good chance he can return to play in Week 12. If not, Schefter's early report may prove accurate.
Greg Olsen | Metatarsal fracture | Injured Reserve - Returned to practice | Day-to-Day
Olsen returned to Panthers' practice as expected on Monday. Carolina's target return for Olsen has been Week 12 for some time and, barring a practice setback, he is expected to play this week.
Jameis Winston | Right AC sprain / Deltoid contusion | Week-to-Week | Week 13+ Return
Winston continues to recover from a midseason shoulder sprain he aggravated multiple times while trying to play through the injury. On Friday, Dirk Koetter again dropped a nugget of helpful information during a Sirius XM Radio interview, revealing Winston had received a PRP injection last week to aid healing. The news doesn't mean Winston is less likely to return this season. PRP is often used by orthopedists to increase the concentration of healing factors near the site of injury. Whether it's successful or not is often debatable. For now, the Buccaneers will continue to rehab Winston with the intention of having him fully healthy before allowing him to return. We're at least two weeks away from that happening.
Sterling Shepard | Migraine | Day-to-Day | Week 12 Return
Shepard was added to the injury report on Saturday with a migraine and did not recover in time to play. Assuming migraine is the correct diagnosis and the Eagles do not consider his headache a possible symptom of concussion, Shepard can be expected to return to practice and play this week.
Ty Montgomery | Rib injury | Week-to-Week | Week 12+ Return
After the Packers allowed Montgomery to dress and participate in individual drills earlier this season, it was an obvious red flag when Montgomery wasn't cleared for practice on Wednesday or Thursday. Practice participation will be our trigger again this week. If Montgomery isn't working out on Wednesday, he may miss Week 12 and possibly beyond.
Jordan Reed | Hamstring strain | Week-to-Week | Week 12+ Return
Reed admitted his hamstring continues to bother him when decelerating last week. Washington shut him down in practice midweek and plans to re-evaluate him early this week. Reed has a short week to prepare for a Thursday night game at home. If he's close to playing, Washington could use Reed in a limited role and hope the additional recovery time he'll get after the Thursday game returns him to a bigger workload in Week 13. We'll know what Washington has in mind on Tuesday.
Others of Note: Jordan Matthews continues to be limited by knee soreness and the Bills will continue to limit his practice participation.
