This is a thread to track injuries. Here a few guideline I plan to use. First, I want to track major injuries, which I loosely define as anything that will keep a player off the filed for more than a month, with emphasis on season ending injuries. Second, I will focus on good players and starters. Finally,I want to track when these injuries occur, at least making a distinction between injuries that happen before the regular season versus during. We’ve already got at least one season-ending injury that I know of. (By the way, please add or make any corrections.)

Might be easier to reference this CBS website.
LB from the Eagles is out as well right? Paul Worrilow (I had to look it up)
OK, thanks. Do you know if he was going to start? The ESPN site said he would be competing for a spot. (I’ll take him off if he’s not really a significant player.)
Philadelphia is pretty short on LBs it seems, especially because they released Kendricks, so I was guessing yes. You don’t know Worrilow (I didn’t.)? I think he was a starter in Atlanta and a starter in Detroit.
I’m familiar with him. I believe he was a surprisingly good with Atlanta. I don’t remember how he did with the Lions. The article I read said that the Eagles brought him to compete and gave a list of about five other LBS he would ostensibly be competing against. I was unfamiliar with their names.
See updates in the original post.
Update week 1. I’ve only heard of two season ending injuries. Any others?
There are a lot of serious injuries as well. I think Doug Baldwin has grade 2 partial tear in MCL (and his other knee was banged up). Mariota, Delanie Walker, and someone else on the Titans also have serious injuries, if I’m not mistaken.
Update on week 3 above.
Updated the list, although I think I’m missing several injuries. (I’m losing the motivation for doing this.)
