Sunday’s NFL action was marred by a spate of injuries to high‑profile players, underscoring the physical toll of the sport. Below is a concise summary of the key injuries reported across the league.

Baltimore Ravens

Quarterback Lamar Jackson missed the second half of the Ravens’ 24‑18 victory over the Tennessee Titans after turning his left ankle while evading a sack by Jermaine Johnson II. He left the field in a protective boot and was listed as day‑to‑day. Coach Jesse Minter noted Jackson avoided a major injury and hinted at a possible return.

Backup quarterback Tyler Huntley stepped in, guiding the Ravens to a 24‑7 halftime lead. Jackson finished with 15 completions on 20 attempts for 222 yards and two touchdowns, adding two rushes for 20 yards before his exit.

The Ravens also lost cornerback Marlon Humphrey (calf), right guard Andrew Vorhees (foot) and tight end Durham Smythe (Achilles) during the game, with no further updates on their status.

Washington Commanders

Quarterback Marcus Mariota suffered a right‑knee injury in the first quarter of the Commanders’ 30‑13 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in London. After being sacked by Laiatu Latu, Mariota twisted his leg and left the field under his own power, later being ruled out at halftime.

Rookie seventh‑round pick Athan Kaliakmanis replaced Mariota, becoming the first quarterback from the 2026 draft class to take a snap in a regular‑season game. He completed 15 of 33 passes for 186 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

Wide receiver and return specialist Jaylin Lane was carted off with a serious lower‑left‑leg injury.

Cincinnati Bengals

All‑Pro wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase exited early with a concussion after his head struck the turf in the second quarter of the 22‑17 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He had three catches for 27 yards before the injury.

Second‑year receiver Tee Higgins left the game in the fourth quarter with an adductor injury after recording 11 receptions for 157 yards. He returned for a single play on the final drive but could not continue.

Both players will undergo the league’s concussion protocol and further evaluation.

Kansas City Chiefs

Wide receiver Rashee Rice suffered a right‑hamstring strain in the first quarter of the Chiefs’ 30‑27 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He limped out after a five‑yard gain and did not return.

Receiver Tyquan Thornton endured a dislocated left ankle in the fourth quarter after a 55‑yard catch. He was taken to the locker room, and officials expect him to be evaluated on Monday. The injury is listed as indefinite.

Philadelphia Eagles

Running back Saquon Barkley was knocked out early in the Eagles’ 24‑20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams after a hamstring injury on a 6‑yard run. He was seen walking normally after leaving the stadium, but no further update was provided.

The Eagles also entered the game without top wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring), tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) and right tackle Lane Johnson (personal reasons).
