With so many injuries happening this past week in the NFL, here is a recap of what we saw, sorted by team.
San Francisco 49ers:
Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason are both effectively out for the rest of the season. Each has been put on the IR: McCaffrey for his knee and Mason for his ankle.
Los Angeles Chargers:
WR Ladd McConkey is currently listed as questionable this week against the Chiefs, but the news has not been encouraging, and there is a good chance he will be out for at least this week…and possibly longer.
Jacksonville Jaguars:
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence took a vicious hit by Azeez Al-Shaair and left the game on Sunday with a concussion. At this stage of their season, which by all accounts is over, there makes no sense in rushing to get him back on the field. Hopefully, we’ll see him back 100% healthy in 2025.
Philadelphia Eagles:
Grant Calcaterra is going to have a big opportunity to help the Eagles. Starting TE Dallas Goedert is currently listed as questionable with a knee injury, but could wind up on injured reserve. The Eagles are running on all cylinders at the moment, and although they can withstand the loss of Goedert, having him healthy will go a long way to helping them make it to the Superbowl.
New Orleans Saints:
Taysom Hill is out for the year with a torn ACL. The Saints are now 4-8, and their season is over, too, so losing Hill isn’t a big deal on the field, but hopefully, he’ll be able to recover in time to play next season.
Washington Commanders:
Brian Robinson will now be backed up by Jeremy McNichols. Austin Ekeler has been put on IR with a concussion and has admitted to memory loss. They do have a bye this week, but especially when it comes to concussions, more time off is better than coming back too soon.
New York Giants:
Theo Johnson has been put on IR with a foot injury. The TE has had a serviceable season for the hapless Giants and could be a more integral piece on a team with a more cohesive offense next season.
