Giants | Olivier Vernon injures wrist
New York Giants DE Olivier Vernon (wrist) suffered a left wrist injury in Week 3 against the Washington Redskins.
Giants | Rashad Jennings expected back in Week 4
Updating a previous report, New York Giants RB Rashad Jennings (thumb) said Sunday, Sept. 25, that he understood head coach Ben McAdoo’s decision to keep him out. He said his thumb feels better and he is hopeful of returning in Week 4.
Footballguys View: Shane Vereen and Orleans Darkwa split the work in the backfield and both scored against Washington this week. Next week brings the stout Vikings defense, so we will probably stay away from the Giants backfield no matter who starts.
Cowboys | Dez Bryant shaken up early
Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (ankle) suffered an apparent right ankle injury in the first quarter of the Week 3 game against the Chicago Bears. He was taken back to the locker room for further evaluation.
Seahawks | Sprained MCL for Russell Wilson?
Updating a previous report, Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson (knee) is believed to have a sprained medial collateral ligament in his knee. That is the initial belief after the Week 3 game against the San Francisco 49ers. He will undergo further testing.
Footballguys View: Rookie UDFA Trevone Boykin was solid in relief of Wilson. With a strong defense he could execute a limited gameplan and still give the Seahawks a chance to win on the road against the Jets next week. In a stroke of schedule luck, Seattle has a bye in Week 5.
