Injury Roundup

The injury bug hit the league hard in week six as several marquee players went down with injuries. Here's some of the big names who suffered an injury this past weekend:

- Calais Campbell, DE, Arizona Cardinals; Campbell was carted off the field during Sunday's game against the 49ers and taken to a local hospital due to a neck injury. Reports say he participated in walkthroughs at practice. The Cards have a short week as they prepare for the Seahawks on Thursday. It's unknown if Campbell will be able to play.
- DeMarco Murray, RB, Dallas Cowboys; Since the Cowboys drafted him in the third round of the 2011 draft, Murray has played in just 29 of the 48 possible regular season games. He can't stay healthy. He sprained his left knee Sunday and reports say he isn't expected to play this week but could play in Week 8.
- DeMarcus Ware, DE, Dallas Cowboys; The Cowboys' All-Pro defensive end suffered a knee injury against the Redskins and will reportedly miss 3-4 weeks.
- Randall Cobb, WR, Green Bay Packers; Aaron Rodgers' favorite target suffered a knee injury after a low hit courtesy of Ravens' safety Matt Elam. Cobb is expected to miss 6-8 weeks.
- Matt Schaub, QB, Houston Texans; Houston fans were cheering when Schaub suffered an ankle injury that forced him out of Sunday's game. He may miss this week's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
- Cecil Shorts, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars; Shorts suffered an upper body injury early against the Broncos. Latest reports say it was rib injury, earlier reports said it would a shoulder injury. Either way, there's optimism that he may play Sunday.
- Harrison Smith, FS, Minnesota Vikings; Smith was carted off the field with a foot injury and was later seen in a walking boot. It's not known how severe the injury is or how much time he'll miss.
- Danny Amendola, WR, New England Patriots; It's no surprise that Amendola is injured again. He's injury prone. This time it's a concussion he sustained on a big hit from Saints' safety Rafael Bush. No
- Jerod Mayo, LB, New England Patriots; The Patriots' All-Pro linebacker has been placed on season-ending injured reserve after suffering a torn pectoral muscle. This is a huge blow to the Patriots' defense.
- Aqib Talib, CB, New England Patriots; Talib played a large role in shutting down Saints' tight end Jimmy Graham but suffered a hip injury in the process. He dealt with a hip injury last season as well. No updates on how much time he'll miss, if any.
- Jimmy Graham, TE, New Orleans Saints; Graham was shutout by the man listed above and the rest of the Patriots' defense and suffered a foot injury in the process. Fortunately for the Saints, they're on their bye week so their stud tight end has extra time to heal. Reports say the team is optimistic he'll be ready to play Week 8.
