— -- A host of star players went down with injuries this week. Here are the most significant players who got banged up.

LeSean McCoy, RB, Buffalo Bills: McCoy got rocked by Texans safety Quintin Demps on a 3-yard run with 10:24 left in the third quarter. He was evaluated for a concussion in the locker room and ended up returning to the game. McCoy had 21 carries for 112 yards on the day, including a huge 20-yard run on the Bills' game-winning drive.

Matt Hasselbeck, QB, Indianapolis Colts: ?Hasselbeck suffered neck and shoulder injuries on a fourth-quarter strip-sack from Steelers LB James Harrison. He was ruled out for the rest of the game, and backup Charlie Whitehurst replaced him in the lineup. Hasselbeck has averaged 232 yards per game while filling in for starter Andrew Luck while he recovers from kidney and abdomen injuries. 

C.J. Anderson, RB, Denver BroncosAnderson rushed for 42 yards on seven carries in the first half of Denver's game against the Chargers, but he was ruled out for the remainder of the game with an ankle injury shortly after halftime. It wasn't clear when the injury occurred -- Anderson had a 12-yard catch on the third-to-last play of the second quarter -- and according to ESPN Broncos reporter Jeff Legwold, the RB jogged out of the locker room.

Janoris Jenkins, CB, St. Louis RamsJenkins had a nasty collision with fellow Rams defensive back T.J. McDonald while defending a slant pattern early in the first quarter. The shutdown CB was taken to the locker room and he cleared the concussion protocol. But later in the game, Jenkins collided with a teammate again -- this time safety Mark Barron -- and suffered a concussion. He was ruled out for the game.

Harrison Smith/ Anthony Barr, S/LB, Minnesota Vikings: Two of the Vikings' best defensive players went down in the first quarter against the Seahawks. Barr aggravated a groin injury that had him on the injury report this week, while Smith tweaked his left hamstring. Neither player returned to the game, while the Vikings struggled to get many stops vs. Seattle (433 yards, 38 points).

Travis Benjamin, WR, Cleveland BrownsBenjamin fell hard on his shoulder when he went up for a catch late in the fourth quarter. He was ruled out for the game, leaving the Browns with just three healthy receivers. Cleveland scored just three points against the Bengals with a short-handed WR corps. 

Delvin Breaux, CB, New Orleans SaintsBreaux had a pick-six in the the first quarter to give the Saints an early lead, but he left the shortly thereafter with what coach Sean Payton called a pulled hamstring. According to ESPN Saints reporter Mike Tripplet, Breaux was getting stretched on the sideline and tried to stay loose by riding a stationary bike, but the team listed him as doubtful to return in the third quarter. Cam Newton torched the Saints' secondary for 5 TDs after Breaux left the game.

Joel Bitonio, G, Cleveland Browns: Bitonio missed the last two games -- and was questionable this week -- with an ankle injury. Coach Mike Pettine said the guard would be playing with "heavy tape" against the Bengals. But that was not enough to keep Bitonio on the field for long, as he was ruled out after playing just six snaps.
