Monday’s NFL injury update brought major concern for several teams, with De’Von Achane and Brian Burns believed to have sustained season-ending ACL injuries in Sunday games. Josh Oliver is also awaiting testing on a potentially serious biceps injury, while Jalen Coker’s availability for Week 4 remains uncertain.
Monday injury and roster update
-
Jalen Coker came out of Sunday’s defeat against Cleveland with a mild quadriceps strain. His status is in doubt for the Week 4 matchup with Detroit.
-
De’Von Achane tore his ACL during Sunday’s loss to Kansas City. The running back is expected to miss the rest of the season.
-
Josh Oliver is feared to have suffered a torn biceps in Sunday’s victory over Tampa Bay. He was scheduled for an MRI on Monday, and a confirmed tear would sideline him indefinitely.
-
Brian Burns is believed to have torn his ACL in Sunday’s win over Tennessee, an injury that would be a devastating loss for the pass rush.
-
Veteran running back Austin Ekeler is expected to join Washington, adding experience to the club’s backfield.
Week 4 availability
Coker is the only player in the update with a near-term game designation. His quad issue leaves him questionable as his team prepares to face Detroit in Week 4.
The outlook is much more severe for Achane, while Burns’ reported ACL injury and Oliver’s pending MRI are key situations to monitor as teams finalize their plans for the coming week.
