Saquon Barkley limped off the field supported by several people in the last minutes of his team the New York Giants’ week 2 game vs the Arizona Cardinals.

The other New York team, the Jets too have more injury worries, with wide receiver Garrett Wilson seen heading into the medical tent in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game vs the Dallas Cowboys. Last week Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers tore an Achilles tendon last week. It is not known yet what injury Wilson is carrying.

Logan Thomas, tight end for the Washington Commanders, is being evaluated for a concussion after being hit on the head by Denver Broncos safety Kareem Jackson, who was ejected from the game.
