SIC Roundup: Key Injury Analysis From Week 14

C.J. Stroud - SIC score 22

Injury: Concussion

Impact: In concussion protocol and did not return to the game after 4th quarter hit - hit back of head on MetLife turf and had apparent symptoms - by our data, 22.5% chance to clear for next week

Week 15 Opponent: Titans 

Team: Texans

Justin Herbert - SIC score 10 

Injury: Right index finger

Impact: Diagnosed with a fractured right index finger - likely out for season but return timetable will depend on type of fracture - not much reason to return this season for Chargers team well out of playoff contention - Easton Stick to play QB going forward

Week 15 Opponent: Raiders

Team: Chargers

Josh Jacobs - SIC score 46 

Injury: Right knee

Impact: By video, right knee hyperextension on carry in the 4th quarter - likely has ligament damage but not out long-term - definitely out Thursday against the Chargers - Zamir White likely to get the lead back action with Jacobs out

Week 15 Opponent: Chargers 

Team: Raiders

Justin Jefferson - SIC score 57 

Injury: Ribs

Impact: Ruled out for the game - by video, likely dealing with injured ribs after taking a big hit to the back in the 2nd quarter - hopefully no associated kidney injury - taken to hospital out of precaution - hamstring injury from early October is no longer an issue

Week 15 Opponent: Bengals 

Team: Vikings

Nico Collins - SIC score 60 

Injury: Calf

Impact: Ruled out with calf injury - likely a reaggravation of mid-November injury that caused him to miss a game in the past - Stroud now without Collins, Tank Dell and Dalton Schultz

Week 15 Opponent: Titans

Team: Texans

Kyle Hamilton - SIC score 15 

Injury: Left knee

Impact: By video, worry for left knee ACL tear when he took an awkward step while getting blocked - will undergo an MRI Monday to evaluate the damage - if confirmed, would be a big blow for the Ravens' secondary

Week 15 Opponent: Jaguars 

Team: Ravens

Tutu Atwell - SIC score 22

Injury: Concussion

Impact: In concussion protocol after big hit on an incompletion in the 2nd quarter - by our data, 22.5% chance to clear without missing a game

Week 15 Opponent: Commanders 

Team: Rams

Alexander Mattison - SIC score 34

Injury: Right ankle

Impact: By video, right high ankle sprain when he was fallen on by own offensive lineman - officially questionable to return but likely to miss multiple weeks - Ty Chandler to get more opportunities in his absence

Week 15 Opponent: Bengals

Team: Vikings

Jake Browning - SIC score 91

Injury: Cramps

Impact: Suffered right forearm cramp that caused thumb issue in the third quarter - returned after receiving an IV and should have no issues next week against the Vikings
