Peterson dealt with an ankle injury in the game, but he was able to return for the Vikings.

AJ Green left the game in the third quarter for the Bengals with an injury, but the game was way out of hand by then and that is likely why Cincy took him out. Danny Amendola left the game on Sunday against the Titans with a knee injury for the Patriots have making just one catch. Draughn suffered a knee injury against the Bengals for the 49ers on Sunday and was replaced by Kendall Gaskins.

Alshon Jeffery dealt with hamstring tightness on Sunday against the Vikings and was taken out of the game for the Bears.
