Browns to place Jedrick Wills on IR with MCL injury

The Browns will be without their left tackle for several weeks.
Via multiple reporters, head coach Kevin Stefanski said in his Monday video conference that left tackle Jedrick Wills will be placed on injured reserve with an MCL injury that is not expected to end his season.
Per NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero, Wills suffered a high-grade MCL sprain, a low-grade PCL sprain, and a bone bruise during Sunday’s victory over the Cardinals. Wills should be out for roughly six weeks.
A first-round pick in 2020, Wills had played every offensive snap for Cleveland this season entering Week 9. He’s started all 53 games he’s played in since being drafted.

Giants QB Daniel Jones feared to have suffered significant knee injury in loss to Raiders


The Giants' troubling season took another turn for the worse on Sunday.

New York quarterback Daniel Jones is feared to have suffered a significant knee injury -- potentially a torn ACL -- during New York's 30-6 loss against the Las Vegas Raiders, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported.

Head coach Brian Daboll told reporters after the game that Jones had an X-ray done at the stadium, and that he'll undergo more tests on Monday.

Jones, who just returned from a three-game absence with a neck injury, had his knee bend awkwardly trying to avoid a sack on the last play of the first quarter. He returned, but on the very next play, his right knee buckled under him again during his dropback.

Chase will undergo more medical tests, which will help determine his practice availability. Bengals coach Zac Taylor called Chase day to day.

Cam Akers out for season with torn Achilles, MRI confirms

Vikings running back Cam Akers will miss the rest of the season with a torn Achilles tendon.
That was believed to be the case as soon as Akers went down on Sunday, and it was confirmed by an MRI today, coach Kevin O’Connell confirmed today.
This is the second time Akers has torn his Achilles. He previously tore it in July of 2021 when he was with the Rams and made a remarkably quick recovery, getting back on the field for the final game of the regular season. But even if he can repeat that remarkably quick recovery this time, he won’t be at full speed until April.

Vikings officially rule out Justin Jefferson for Sunday; elevate Sean Mannion


The Vikings officially ruled out Jefferson and offensive guard Chris Reed for Sunday.

“The hamstring is a difficult injury just because it lingers and it comes back from time to time if you don’t put the right treatment into it,” Jefferson said Thursday, his first public comments since being injured Oct. 8, via Kevin Seifert of ESPN. “The guys and the rest of the coaching staff in this building know my worth on the field and they want me at 100 percent, as I do as well. I don’t want to go out there at 80 or 90 percent and have the chance of hurting it again. It’s just day-to-day, and when that time comes, I’ll definitely be ready to step out there.”

Kyle Shanahan confirms torn ACL for Talanoa Hufanga

The initial word on 49ers safety Talanoa Hufanga’s knee injury wasn’t good on Sunday and it didn’t get any better on Monday.

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed on a Monday conference call that Hufanga tore his ACL during the team’s victory over the Buccaneers. Shanahan said that Hufanga avoided any other damage to the knee, so the hope is that he will be ready to go for the start of the 2024 season.

Re: Injuries

Rams receiver Cooper Kupp had to exit Sunday’s game due to injury, but it doesn’t sound like he’ll miss too much time — if any at all.
Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, Kupp is dealing with a low-ankle sprain and the club will evaluate him over the course of the week.
Kupp suffered the injury late in the first half of Sunday’s victory over the Seahawks.
“He was going to try to come back and play,” head coach Sean McVay said in his postgame press conference. “He was moving around at the beginning of the second half and we were hoping that he’d be able to go, but it just didn’t quite feel good enough.”
