Najeh Davenport broke his right ankle, Deuce McAllister is scheduled for an MRI exam on his knee, Julius Jones missed the second half and there's no telling what's wrong with Corey Dillon.
All told, it was a rough week for NFL running backs.
Davenport scored two touchdowns as a fill-in starter for the Green Bay Packers in their 52-3 win over the New Orleans Saints, but the big fourth-year back broke his right ankle after being dragged down on a 2-yard reception in the first half.
"More than likely, the seriousness of this would take away his season this year," Packers coach Mike Sherman said. "That's very unfortunate. He was playing well at the time."
Davenport, who finished with 54 yards on 12 carries, later was carted to the locker room. His 1-yard and 4-yard TD runs were the Packers' first two touchdown runs this season.
Ahman Green, who was inactive with a thigh injury, said he expected to return after the upcoming bye week. Third-down back Tony Fisher will back him up.
Saints RB Deuce McAllister will get an MRI exam Monday on his right knee, which he sprained in the third quarter. He finished with 31 yards on 11 carries; Antowain Smith rushed 12 times for 36 yards in his absence.
Dillon rushed for 106 yards before he went to the locker room with an undisclosed injury late in the game, though he returned to watch Vinatieri's kick give New England a 31-28 win over Atlanta. Patrick Pass, Dillon's backup, had the first TD rushing of his career in the opening period, but Dillon was still playing at the time.
Jones gained 72 yards for the Cowboys in the first half against the Eagles but didn't play after the break because of an apparent ankle injury. With a 24-point lead at halftime, Dallas used rookie Tyson Thompson, who gained 75 yards en route to a 33-10 Cowboys victory.
Philadelphia defensive tackle Sam Rayburn sprained a knee ligament and tight end L.J. Smith sprained his left ankle in the game.
Chicago running back Thomas Jones rushed for 137 yards on 24 carries, but left midway through the fourth quarter with an injured right knee. Following the game, Jones said his knee felt better, and described the injury as "a bone bruise or something."
Bears offensive tackle John Tait left the stadium in a walking boot with a sprained ankle.
Tampa Bay rookie running back Carnell "Cadillac" Williams was inactive against the New York Jets because of foot and hamstring injuries. Buccaneers coach Jon Gruden said after the 14-12 loss that Williams would be questionable going into practice for next week's game against Miami.
Also, Michael Clayton was limited in the game because of a sore shoulder and didn't catch a pass.
Williams tweaked his left hamstring in a 17-13 win over the Detroit Lions last week. He was replaced in the starting lineup Sunday by veteran Michael Pittman, who had 13 carries for 46 yards and seven receptions for 41 yards.
Also inactive Sunday were Falcons quarterback Michael Vick (knee), Cleveland WR Braylon Edwards (arm infection), Buccaneers safety Jermaine Phillips (thumb), Jets linebacker Eric Barton (sprained ankle), and Cincinnati WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh (hand).
In Houston, Texans Pro Bowl receiver Andre Johnson strained his right calf in the first quarter against Tennessee. He remained on the sidelines after the injury and returned after halftime in street clothes.
Falcons linebacker Edgerton Hartwell may be lost for the season after injuring his right Achilles' tendon. Hartwell was helped off the field late in the third quarter and carted to the locker room, his right foot dangling from the side. Ike Reese, known more for his work on special teams, finished the game at middle linebacker.
Atlanta coach Jim Mora said both Hartwell and backup cornerback Chris Cash are likely done for the season. Cash went out in the fourth quarter and was immediately taken to the locker room, possibly with a broken right arm.
Lions receiver Roy Williams injured his left leg in the second quarter of Detroit's 35-17 win over Baltimore and was unable to return. Williams was hurt trying to catch defensive end Terrell Suggs after he intercepted a pass and returned it 38 yards.
The Lions began the game without starting receiver Charles Rogers, who was suspended earlier in the week for four games for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.
In Buffalo, Miami backup linebacker Eddie Moore hurt his knee against the Bills and will have further tests this week. It's not clear when Moore was hurt, but he was not able to finish Miami's 20-14 loss. Dolphins coach Nick Saban did not provide an update on backup cornerback Eddie Jackson, who did not return after hurting his hamstring.
Receiver David Boston was held out after his knee began swelling earlier this week. He had been listed as probable after being added to the injury report on Friday.
Seattle Seahawks strong safety Michael Boulware was removed from the field on a stretcher midway through the second quarter of a 37-31 win over the St. Louis Rams after hurting his lower back. He was taken to a hospital for precautionary X-rays, which didn't reveal any significant damage.
Rams coach Mike Martz was on the sideline calling plays after missing two practices last week while undergoing tests for a bacterial infection of a heart valve, and began taking antibiotics Friday.
Indianapolis Colts safety Bob Sanders left the Colts' 28-3 win over San Francisco with an "arm injury," according to coach Tony Dungy.
