Injury situations around the NFL

[ChrisPozz]

Jim Wyatt:

#Titans QB Jake Locker had shoulder pop out agin and is day to say

Munchak said Locker is sore again. Said he doesn't know if he will practice

Munchak said Locker surprised everyone how quickly he came back last time

Munchak said Locker held the ball too long and should have gotten the ball out quicker

Munchak said Hasselbeck would benefit from more reps

Ralph Vacchiano:

S Kenny Phillips has a sprained MCL. Coughlin called it a "week to week" thing. Similar to the injury that has kept David Diehl out 2 weeks.

Tim Graham:

Bills coach Chan Gailey says LT Cordy Glenn and RG Kraig Urbik ankle injuries look like at least 2 weeks, S Jairus Byrd's hip should be OK.

Jason Cole:

Jets WR S. Holmes has a lisfranc injury to his left foot. Still unclear if it's broken, but is 99% likely out for the season.

Art Stapleton:

Coughlin already declared Hakeem Nicks out for Sun. But good sign he was taking mental reps in jog-thru, swelling must be down #NYG

49ers face the Giants next week.

Jay Glazer:

Awesome job by Rams trainer Reggie Scott and docs to immediately recognize the danger. They put Danny to sleep, popped clavicle back, then while he was under docs pushed and tested it to see if it could dislodge again

Danny Amendola dislocated clavicle and it popped in, which never happens in the NFL. VERY lucky didn't move far bc close to aorta & trachea.

Rams called around league to find a case study of it happening to another NFL player but couldn't find one so hard to determine his return

Cardinals RB Ryan Williams will need surgery to repair the AC joint in his left shoulder and is out for the remainder of the season.

Not a shocker on Williams, that was a monster hit. It was like he was blindsided by a train.

Jeff Dickerson:

Bears WR Alshon Jeffery suffers fracture in right hand and is in a cast. No surgery required. Could miss a few weeks.

49ers face them in 6 weeks on Monday night so it sounds like he'll be back in time for the game.

Just read this from rotoworld:

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported that Alshon Jeffery's fractured right hand is expected to cost him 4-6 weeks.An earlier report from ESPN Chicago was more optimistic, suggesting Jeffery might only miss "a few weeks." But it sounds like Jeffery will be out longer than the Bears' Week 6 bye, and probably much longer. In the Bears' first five catches, Jeffery showed promise playing opposite Brandon Marshall, securing 14 passes for 184 yards and two touchdowns. Aside from perhaps Kendall Wright down in Tennessee, Jeffery was the best early-season rookie wide receiver in the league over the first month-plus. Now, he'd return in Week 9 in an absolute best-case scenario.
