Injuries are an unfortunate part of the game, but they happen every week in the NFL. Week 11 was no different.
Some of the injuries were minor, while others were critical. Some players will miss minimal time, while others could be out for the remainder of the 2021 NFL season. Here are five notable injuries that occurred during the Week 11 slate of games.
Major injuries from Week 11 of the 2021 NFL season
#5 - Justin Fields, QB, Chicago Bears
Rookie quarterback Justin Fields suffered a rib injury in the second half against the Baltimore Ravens. He was unable to return to the game and was replaced by veteran Andy Dalton. Injuries are never a good thing, but injuries to quarterbacks are particularly devastating.
Also Checkout:- Justin Fields Contract
The Bears have a quick turnaround this week. They are scheduled to play the Detroit Lions in an early game on Thanksgiving Day on Thursday. That means the Bears have a short week to prepare. Justin Fields' availability for the game could be a big concern.
#4 - Elgton Jenkins, OT, Green Bay Packers
Aaron Rodgers is dealing with a toe issue, but that's not the worst of the injuries in Green Bay. Rodgers played through the injury on his way to a productive day. Elgton Jenkins was not so fortunate.
He suffered a torn ACL and is out for the remainder of the 2021 season. This is one of the worst of all injuries for NFL players. It requires a long and challenging recovery process.
NFL Week 11 Injuries
#3 - CeeDee Lamb, WR, Dallas Cowboys
Concussions are one of the most common injuries in the NFL. They are also taken very seriously by the league, as they should be. When a player suffers a concussion in an NFL game, they enter a series of protocols and procedures that they must clear before they are allowed to play again.
This is the situation for CeeDee Lamb this week after he suffered a concussion against the Kansas City Chiefs and could not return for the second half of the game. The Cowboys, like the Bears, have a quick turnaround to recover from their injuries this week, with a game scheduled for Thursday on Thanksgiving. Lamb's status for Week 12 is in serious doubt.
#2 - Michael Carter, RB, New York Jets
Rookie running back Michael Carter will miss the next couple of weeks after injuring his ankle in Week 11 against the Miami Dolphins. He had a promising first season with the Jets but will now have to put it on pause. Carter is their leading rusher and was catching plenty of passes as well. He has totaled 708 combined yards, 32 receptions and five touchdowns.
#1 - Jarvis Landry, WR, Cleveland Browns
Jarvis Landry has been dealing with some injuries this season for the Cleveland Browns. He has battled through them but unfortunately reaggravated his previous knee injury in Week 11. The good news is that head coach Kevin Stefanski said that he would continue trying to play through it.
Jarvis Landry is the clear top wide receiver for the Cleveland Browns now that they have moved on from Odell Beckham Jr, who was also affected by injuries during his time with the team. Quarterback Baker Mayfield needs Landry on the field as much as possible if the Browns make a deep run in the 2021 NFL season.
