Biggest NFL injuries of Week 7
— -- Here are the most significant NFL players who got banged up in Week 7:
LeSean McCoy, RB, Buffalo Bills: McCoy tried to play on Sunday after injuring his hamstring during the week. But he was largely ineffective (11 yards on eight carries), and the team eventually ruled him as doubtful to return to the game.
Josh Norman, CB, Washington Redskins:?Norman stayed down on the field after landing hard on his head following a deep catch from Lions WR Marvin Jones. He has been ruled out for the rest of the game. The cornerback walked slowly off the field and went immediately to the locker room for further concussion testing. He had shut down Jones all game prior to his 52-yard catch.
Geno Smith, QB, New York Jets:?Smith can't catch a break. After waiting a year to get back his starting job, he suffered a knee injury after going down awkwardly on a sack in the second quarter. Ryan Fitzpatrick, who the team benched this week in favor of Smith, came into the game for the Jets. Smith showed up on the sideline in street clothes in the second half, as the team ruled him out for the game.
Cody Kessler, QB, Cleveland Browns:?Kessler took a shot as he bought extra time on a red zone play in the second quarter. The play resulted in an 11-yard gain, which eventually propelled the Browns to the end zone, but Kessler was taken to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion. The team eventually ruled him out. Rookie Kevin Hogan -- who the Browns had been using as a zone-read QB versus the Bengals when Kessler was healthy -- took over as the starter. Hogan is the sixth quarterback to take a snap for the Browns this season.
Darius Slay, CB, Detroit Lions:?Slay grabbed his right hamstring during the second quarter on Sunday. He had to be helped off the field, and after being evaluated on the bench, Slay went back to the locker room.? Johnson Bademosi replaced Slay in the lineup as the Lions listed their star CB as questionable.
Jeremy Hill, RB, Cincinnati Bengals: Hill hadn't rushed for more than 71 yards in any game this season, but he had rushes of 74 and 40 yards against the Browns on Sunday. Hill left the game early in the fourth quarter with a chest injury, but the team said he was probable to return.
Nick Mangold, C, New York Jets:?Mangold limped off the field and immediately went to the locker room in the first quarter after RT Ryan Clady rolled up on his ankle. The team listed its Pro Bowl center as questionable to return.
Andrew Sendejo, S, Minnesota Vikings:?Sendejo injured his ankle at the tail end of his interception return in the first quarter and was carted to the locker room. Rookie? Jayron Kearse replaced Sendejo, as the team listed their starting safety as questionable to return.?
Brandon Scherff, G, Washington Redskins:?Coming off his best game this season, Scherff went down with a left shoulder injury in the first half against Detroit.? Arie Kouandjio replaced Scherff before he eventually returned to the lineup.?
Aaron Williams, S, Buffalo Bills: ?Dolphins WR Jarvis Landry launched himself into Williams, and the safety stayed down on the ground for several minutes while trainers evaluated him. The team said it hadruled him out for the game with head and neck injuries.
Ron Brooks, CB, Philadelphia Eagles:?Brooks suffered what looked to be a serious knee injury in the first quarter against the Vikings. He stayed down on the field for a while as trainers stabilized his right knee. Brooks was carted to the locker room and ruled out for the game.?
Terrance West, RB, Baltimore Ravens:?West limped off the field after the Ravens' first play of the game. Rookie Kenneth Dixon replaced him in the lineup for the remainder of the series, but after his ankle was re-taped, West returned to the field.
