The NFL injury report for Week 10 has some notable names, as Julian Edelman, Sam Bradford, Ryan Mathews, Landry Jones, John Brown, Peyton Manning, Emmanuel Sanders, Ben Roethlisberger and Mike Iupati all were banged up a bit on Sunday.
The Patriots suffered another tough injury to an offensive player, as Julian Edelman reportedly has a broken bone in his foot and his season could be in jeopardy. Edelman had to leave the game against the Giants in the first half and did not return to the game after that. According to Mike Garafolo at Fox Sports, Edelman is dealing with a broken bone in his left foot and the injury is "believed to be a true Jones fracture." The report says that Edelman has broken the fifth metatarsal in his left foot.
Pro Football Talk reports that Edelman could potentially return for the playoffs despite the serious nature of the injury, but he likely will be out for the next stretch of games for the Patriots. The Patriots have targeted Edelman more than any other player on offense and now the team has Edelman and Dion Lewis dealing with serious injuries. The Patriots still pulled put the win Sunday to remain undefeated and Adam Schefter reports that Edelman could be out for about six weeks, which would allow him to return for the playoffs.
The Eagles lost quarterback Sam Bradford to a shoulder injury on Sunday and the Philadelphia Daily News reports that Bradford is dealing with a Grade II AC joint sprain in his left shoulder. Pro Football Talk reports that Bradford also suffered a concussion in the game against the Dolphins and that could force the Eagles to start Mark Sanchez coming up. The Eagles lost to the Dolphins on Sunday and PFT reports that the x-rays on Bradford's shoulder were negative. Sanchez came in for Bradford and finished out the game for the Eagles and he could get some playing time going forward if Bradford can't suit up.
The Eagles are also dealing with an injury to Ryan Mathews, as the running back reportedly suffered a concussion against the Dolphins. Pro Football Talk reports that Mathews left the game in the third quarter against the Dolphins and is considered "day to day" with the injury. Mathews had 18 rushing yards in the game and also added a touchdown. Peyton Manning reportedly has a torn plantar fascia and there is a chance he could be limited moving forward.
Landry Jones started for the Steelers on Sunday in place of Ben Roethlisberger, but the quarterback injured his ankle and was forced to leave the game. Jones was able to limp off the field before being carted to the locker room and Roethlisberger came in after he left with the injury. Roethlisberger was dealing with a foot injury coming into the game, but he played anyway and set a record for passing yards in a relief appearance. Roethlisberger was only going to play if there was an emergency and that is what played out on Sunday.
Emmanuel Sanders came into the weekend banged up and he did not register a catch against the Chiefs. Sanders reportedly was evaluated for a concussion and he could be limited for this week in practice. John Brown has been dealing with hamstring injuries and while he was active this week, Brown did not make a catch and did not look like he was fully healthy.
