The first quarter of the NFL season is coming to a close, and all the injuries are piling up around the league. The Dallas Cowboys , for example, may be without defensive stalwarts DeMarcus Lawrence and Micah Parsons for some time after both players sustained injuries during Thursday night's win over the New York Giants . Several tight ends were in the headlines on Friday, for reasons both good and bad.
Browns tight end David Njoku (ankle) and Cardinals tight end Trey McBride (concussion) have already been ruled out of their respective team's Week 4 matchups. Conversely, 49ers star tight end George Kittle (hamstring) says that he expects to face the Patriots this weekend after dealing with a hamstring injury. The Green Bay Packers are closely monitoring the status of quarterback Jordan Love (knee) ahead of their Week 4 matchup against the 3-0 Minnesota Vikings.
Love has been practicing after missing Weeks 2 and 3 -- both Green Bay wins with backup Malik Willis starting in his place. As always, we'll have the injury report for all the games being played in Week 4. We'll highlight the key injuries for each team as the list continues to grow with each passing week.
