Football is a physical, violent game and naturally guys get hurt. We see it every week -- a player on the ground clutching his knee or lying on the field simply straining his body due to the pain. Just two games into the season there's been several players who are a key piece to their team go down. Here is a list of important players who were injured in Week 2.
Ryan Clady- The Denver Broncos have placed their All-Pro left tackle Ryan Clady on season-ending injured reserve today. Clady suffered a Lisfranc injury against the New York Giants this past Sunday. It's never good when a team loses its left tackle, and considering Peyton Manning's history of neck injuries, I'm sure the coaching staff are concerned about the protection of Manning's blindside moving forward.
Steven Jackson- Atlanta Falcons running back Steven Jackson injured his thigh in Sunday's matchup against the St. Louis Rams and is expected to miss 2-4 weeks.
Malcom Floyd- San Diego Chargers wide receiver Malcolm Floyd was taken off the field on a stretcher after taking a bone-crunching hit to the head Sunday against the Eagles. Reports say that he is "out indefinitely."
Eddie Lacy- Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy is expected to be out until Week 5, according to recent reports. Lacy suffered a concussion in the first quarter against the Washington Redskins courtesy of safety Brandon Meriwether.
