It was an injury-riddled Sunday in the NFL. Two superstars suffered season-ending injuries. Many others suffered multiple-week injuries. I’ll cover all of the fantasy-relevant injuries you need to know heading into Week 9. As with every week, this article will be updated throughout the week as more is known regarding these injuries.
Quarterbacks
Andrew Luck has been playing with multiple rib fractures since Week 3, per Jay Glazer of Fox Sports. Luck has not looked like himself recently, and this may explain why.
Luck isn’t listed on the injury report with a rib injury, and the Colts were not required to list him. Luck didn’t need treatment for the injury, and the Colts didn’t believe there was a real chance of him missing any playing time. Because he met both criteria, the Colts weren’t obligated to add him to the official injury report.
At this time, Luck will continue to play with this injury. We will know more following Monday’s game.
