Nick Foles of the Jacksonville Jaguars fractured his left clavicle (collarbone) Sunday when he absorbed a direct hit in the first quarter of a game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Jaguars coach Doug Marrone confirmed that Foles will be out for a while. Foles said he will have surgery on Monday. With or without surgery, returning to play this season will entail some risk.
Rookie Running Back for the Cincinnati Bengals, Rodney Anderson, is believed to have re-torn his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in a preseason game against the Colts. He previously tore his ACL playing for the Oklahoma Sooners and has only been off the injured list for three weeks.
Anderson will undergo surgery repeat reconstruction of his ACL and will not play during the 2019-20 season.
