The Injury Bug

This season feels like there's more injuries this year compared to previous seasons. However, it feels there's just more injuries to prominent star players. A few players out for the year or a long period of time include Odell Beckham Jr, Aaron Rodgers, DeShaun Watson, Carson Palmer, David Johnson, and Andrew Luck to name a few. Richard Sherman got hurt this past Thursday and is out for the year with a ruptured Achilles. With all that being said, here is what happened during the games this week.
