As we wrap up Week 12 and look towards Week 13 of the NFL season, several teams are struggling with key injuries that may impact upcoming games. At SICscore.com, we provide expert insights from Dr. David Chao, MD (@ProFootballDoc) and other top sports doctors to help fans and analysts understand the impact of these injuries on the player and team.
Suffered a clavicle fracture when sacked late in the Week 12 game against the Broncos, he will require surgery and season over.
Suffered a concussion after taking a hit late in the game against the Cowboys, his second concussion this season, he has entered the concussion protocol and is likely to miss Week 13.
By video, mild AC joint sprain, sustained in the third quarter of Week 12, exited the game, remained on the sideline with helmet on and could have returned but was held out and is questionable to return. Will play on Thanksgiving against NFC North rival Chicago Bears.
By video appears to have injured the same knee he's injured his ACL on before, was taken back to the locker room and is listed as questionable, however he hasn't yet returned yet from the locker room, we didn't see anything indicating a major injury but his lack of return from the locker seems to indicate that he is unlikely to return despite the questionable status
Is still dealing with the wrist injury that has he has been managing for the last few games, he's been playing through it but it has effected his productivity, he hasn't caught for more than 80yds since Week 1 and has only scored three touchdowns so far this season
Suffered a likely concussion when his head hit the ground on a dropped pass in Q3, ruled out and will miss Week 13 on Thanksgiving against Miami Dolphins given limited number of days to progress out of the concussion protocol
Early in the fourth quarter Downs slammed hard on his shoulder, by video likely a right AC joint sprain, returned for the Colts' final possession however in-game we believed next week could be in doubt. Downs underwent further evaluation following the game
Update on 11/25 from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Downs is considered week-to-week and unlikely to play in Week 13 against the Patriots.
