There is a host of important injury news to deliver for the upcoming games this week. Week 11 is set to start soon and there are a host of players that will not be seeing the field this week.

Injuries are an unfortunate part of the game of football, and sometimes big-time players are left to view the game at home or on the sidelines.

This week, like every other week, showcases some very important matchups. Especially to those teams that are in the thick of the playoff race.

Here are five NFL superstars that will miss Week 11 due to injuries.

Which injury will be the most costly?

#5 - Alvin Kamara

The New Orleans Saints will be without their starting running back for Sunday's game. Alvin Kamara is currently dealing with a knee injury that has all but kept him out of practice this week.

The Saints are on a two-game losing streak and need all the help they can get, as they are currently 5-4 and attempting to catch the first-place Buccaneers.

Although losing Kamara is a big hit to the Saints offense, they have plenty of help in the backfield to supplement Kamara being out due to injury. Mark Ingram will now take over starting duties with Tony Jones Jr. as his backup.

#4 - Marquise Brown

The Baltimore Ravens are dealing with a string of bad luck this week. Marquise "Hollywood" Brown is officially out for Sunday's game with a thigh injury.

Brown is out in today's game in which the Ravens will be taking on the Chicago Bears.

The Ravens' leading receiver will be sorely missed, and the Ravens are taking on a very tough team in the Bears. With Brown out, the Ravens' offense will take a huge hit to their overall plan.

The Ravens are currently 6-3 and a game ahead of division rival Pittsburgh Steelers. Losing the game today would make things a lot more difficult for the Ravens trying to pull way ahead of the AFC North.

Which injury will cause the most impact?

#3 - Jared Goff

Calling Jared Goff a superstar wouldn't be the correct designation, but regardless, Goff is currently going to be out for the Detroit Lions and Cleveland Browns game.

The Lions nearly logged their first win last week but instead tied with the Steelers in overtime. They officially will not be the first team to go 0-17 in a season.

The Lions are taking on an ailing team that is the Browns but would likely have a better shot at winning with Goff at the helm. Unfortunately, Goff will not be able to make it, as he is dealing with an oblique injury.

#2 - Kyler Murray

Kyler Murray is officially going to be a game-time decision, but the growing consensus is that he will not be able to suit up for today's game. The Cardinals would be wise to allow their superstar quarterback to fully heal before releasing him back onto the field.

As much as Murray will likely want to play, it would not be a smart idea for him to rush through an injury when the Cardinals can afford to lose a couple and remain in first place in the NFC West.

Murray has been dealing with an ankle injury the past few weeks and should take all the time he can to fully heal. Colt McCoy will likely start again this week.

#1 - Lamar Jackson

On top of already losing Marquise Brown and Latavius Murray, the Ravens are getting hit with dealing with multiple-player injury news. Lamar Jackson has been dealing with a non-covid related sickness and that sickness has held him out of practice for the week.

The Ravens were hoping that he would be well enough to start today's game against the Chicago Bears, but he has officially been ruled out of the game due to whatever virus is working its way through the Ravens' locker room. Although losing Jackson is a massive blow, the Ravens should still be up to the challenge of facing a Bears team without star pass rusher Khalil Mack.
