As the NFL season hits its midpoint, teams are facing a myriad of injuries that could potentially shift the balance of power in the league. Week 6 brought a host of new injuries and updates that will have a significant impact on the upcoming matchups. In this week’s episode of The Propcast, SGPN’s own host, Steve Schirmer, breaks down the latest injury news and updates, along with player prop targets to watch.
One of the most notable injuries in Week 6 was to star quarterback Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs. Mahomes suffered a concussion during the Chiefs’ matchup against the Buffalo Bills and was forced to leave the game. As of now, Mahomes’ status for the upcoming game against the Denver Broncos is uncertain, but all eyes will be on his recovery in the coming days.
Another key injury to monitor is to running back Christian McCaffrey of the Carolina Panthers. McCaffrey has been dealing with a high ankle sprain that has kept him sidelined for several weeks. However, there are rumors that he could be activated off IR in time for the Panthers’ game against the New Orleans Saints. McCaffrey’s return would be a significant boost for the Panthers as they look to make a playoff push.
In other injury news, wide receiver Davante Adams of the Green Bay Packers suffered a hamstring injury in Week 6 that forced him to miss the remainder of the game. Adams’ status for the Packers’ upcoming matchup against the Houston Texans is questionable, but his absence would be a significant blow to the Packers’ offense.
