Injuries are very inevitable in the NFL and Generation 7 is no exception. The surprising computer virus has caused its fair share of attacks around the league this season, and we are seeing it continuing at the moment with a handful of notable players happening.
One of the biggest injuries occurred when Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson suffered a strain on his Achilles tendon in the second quarter against the Bengals and had to be removed. The Browns are worried the quarterback will die for the rest of the season. The 49ers may have lost another big offensive name after Brandon Aiyuk left. I am sick with what the team fears is a torn ACL.
Below is an updated, team-by-team list of all of the Era 7 alternate key crashes across the league.
- Curtis Samuel (shoulder): Wide receiver Costes was ruled out due to a shoulder bruise he suffered in the first quarter of Buffalo’s matchup against the Titans.
Cincinnati Bengals
- Geno Stone (left leg): The Bengals defense has been ruled out after suffering a shock to his left leg.
- Deshaun Watson (Achilles): The Browns’ established quarterback suffered a non-contact upset with less than two minutes left in the first half of the team’s Class 7 matchup against the Bengals. After being carted out of the outfield, Cleveland formally ruled him out with a shocked Achilles tendon. Kevin Stefanski says he fears Watson will be lost for the season.
- Dorian Thompson-Robinson (finger): Playing in injured Deshaun Watson’s backfield, the Browns dominated Thompson-Robinson after he suffered a stubbed finger that should have been taken in the game. Jameis Winston took over as crisis quarterback.
- David Bernard Law Montgomery (leg): The Lions running back returned to action in the opening minutes of the second quarter after he was questionable to return to action Sunday due to a knee injury.
- Jaylon Carlies (calf): The Colts linebacker was ruled out due to a calf shock he suffered in the second quarter.
- Cam Robinson (concussion): Jacksonville’s established left take on the left in the first phase of the club’s Generation 7 game against Brandnew England in London. First, the team said he was being evaluated for a concussion and then ruled him out once that diagnosis was shown.
- JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstrings): The Chiefs say it’s questionable whether Smith-Schuster will return to Class 7 after suffering a hamstring shock.
- Aidan O’Connell (thumb): The Las Vegas Raiders quarterback walked to the locker and then struggled with what was reported as a bad thumb. Gardner Minshew is the quarterback.
- Tyler Huntley (right shoulder): Dolphins quarterback Tyler Huntley went to the closet after suffering a bruise to his right shoulder. Initially listed as questionable to return, the Dolphins downgraded Huntley to out. Tim Boyle is the substitute.
- Layden Robinson (ankle): The Brandnew England team suffered the shock in the first half and were initially ruled questionable to return. In the opening minutes of the third quarter, he was demoted to out.
- DeMario Douglas (illness): The Patriots wide receiver was listed as questionable to return for the team’s Class 7 matchup against the Jaguars. As NFL Media reported, Douglas woke up sick and took anti-nausea medication and an IV, but seemed to slow down due to this illness.
- Ja’Lynn Polk (director): Polk suffered a head injury late in the Era 7 showdown.
- Ty Summers (ankle): The Giants linebacker was ruled out for the remainder of the game due to an ankle injury.
- Jalin Hyatt (ribs): The Giants’ big receiver suffered a broken rib from Sunday’s game.
- Mekhi Becton (concussion): The Eagles offense was ruled out once due to a concussion.
- DK Metcalf (knee): The Seahawks’ big receiver was once in doubt to return due to a knee injury. It was also revealed that they were taking him to the closet. Things on the day didn’t look great for McCalf, with Seahawks schoolteacher Mike Macdonald later saying the upset “doesn’t look too bad.”
- Jayden Daniels (rib): The Commanders’ rookie quarterback may be revealed while having his rib segment examined through running shoes on the sideline. He was then taken to the blue science tent, came out and still seemed to be in pain. Later, Daniels may be shown walking towards the closet. He was ruled out at halftime but returned to the bench. Marcus Mariota is the quarterback.
