Biggest NFL injuries of Week 13

— -- Here are the most significant NFL players who got banged up in Week 13:

Earl Thomas, S, Seattle Seahawks:?Thomas suffered a left lower leg fracture when he collided with teammate Kam Chancellor while going up for an interception in the first half. The All-Pro safety tried to walk off the field under his own power, but was unable to do so.?Seahawks personnel carried him off the field so that he didn't have to put any weight on his leg before carting him to the locker room. Coach Pete Carroll called Thomas' injury a six-week deal at least, but teammates spoke like Thomas' season was over after the game.

Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, New York Giants:?Pierre-Paul walked slowly off the field and to the locker room late in the second quarter with a groin injury. The team ruled him out at the start of the second half.?Pierre-Paul had seven tackles, three sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble returned for a touchdown while being named NFC Defensive Player of the Week last week.

Julio Jones, WR, Atlanta Falcons:?Jones was in and out of the lineup late in the game with what coach Dan Quinn called "a lower-body injury." Jones, who was noticeably hobbled on the sideline, said, "I'm OK. I'm good to go." The star WR has played through a multitude of injuries this season, including a hurt shoulder last week, but he has yet to miss a start.?

Mohamed Sanu, WR, Falcons:?Sanu left the field late in the game with a groin injury. He was listed as questionable but did not return to the game as the Falcons lost in stunning fashion.

Danny Amendola, WR, New England Patriots:?Amendola hopped off the field after a punt return in the second half and went to the locker room with an ankle injury. He had three catches for 30 yards when he left the game, and he did not return.

Jake Matthews, LT, Atlanta Falcons:?Matthews left Sunday's game in the first half with a left knee injury. Matthews tried to test out his knee on the sidelines but was eventually ruled out in the second half. His replacement, Tom Compton, had some struggles against Chiefs OLB Tamba Hali.

Eric Rowe, CB, Patriots:?Rowe took himself out of the game in the second half with a hamstring injury.?Rowe could be seen having his left leg stretched by head athletic trainer Jim Whalen, but the Patriots' No. 2 CB did not return to the field.?Rookie Cyrus Jones replaced Rowe in the lineup.

E.J. Gaines, CB, Los Angeles Rams:?Gaines sustained a quad injury in the first half against the Patriots and did not return. Michael Jordan replaced Gaines in the lineup and played opposite of Trumaine Johnson.?

Cecil Shorts III, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers:?On the Bucs' first offensive possession, Shorts sustained a game-ending right knee injury. He took a huge shot across the middle that sent him airborne and onto his shoulder and neck region.?Shorts laid on the field for several seconds as trainers put an air cast on his leg and carted him off the field.

Braxton Miller, WR,? Houston Texans:?Miller hurt his right shoulder toward the end of the second half after he got hit while trying to haul in a catch. Trainers helped him off the field and took him to the locker room. The Texans initially listed the rookie WR as questionable, but they ruled him out at the start of the second half. Miller had his shoulder in a sling after the game in the locker room.

Dwayne Washington, RB, Detroit Lions:?Washington had to be helped off the field early in the third quarter after hurting his ankle. He had 40 total yards up to that point, and he did not return.

Tavon Young, CB, Baltimore Ravens:?Young sustained a left shoulder stinger while trying to making a third-down tackle in the first quarter. Young, who has been one of the Ravens' top rookies, did not return to the game.

Kapri Bibbs, RB, Denver Broncos:?Bibbs had compiled 49 yards on five carries for the Broncos on Sunday before leaving the game with an ankle injury in the second quarter. The Broncos called their backup running back questionable, but he did not come back into the game.

Nick Perry, OLB, Green Bay Packers:?Perry was very active early on for the Packers, racking up three solo tackles on the team's first defensive series. He left the game with a hand injury but later returned with a club cast on his hand.

Lamar Miller, RB, Texans:?Miller left the field on the Texans' first drive against the Packers and went to the locker room with a rib injury. He returned to the field late in the first quarter. Miller was on the injury report this week with rib and ankle injuries.

Spencer Long, C, Washington Redskins:?Long was initially cleared for a concussion, but he was re-evaluated and did not return to the game.? John Sullivan took over for him at center as the Redskins lost to the Cardinals on the road.

Thomas Rawls, RB, Seattle Seahawks:?Rawls took a big shot from Thomas Davis in the second quarter and was taken to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion. Rawls was back on the field in the second half, an indication that he cleared protocol.?

Kiko Alonso, LB, Miami Dolphins:?Alonso left Miami's game against Baltimore in the first half with a hand injury, but he returned to the field after missing a few series.

Tony Lippett, CB, Dolphins:?Lippett left the field in the first half to be evaluated for a concussion, but he was apparently cleared because he returned to the field.
