Justin Jefferson - SIC score 50

Injury: Right hamstring strain

Impact: Suffered right hamstring strain early in 4th quarter and did not return - tough to play through and potential for missed games - slipped on a route despite playing on turf field

Week 6 Opponent: Chicago Bears

Travis Kelce - SIC score 85

Injury: Right inversion ankle sprain

Impact: Returned to game - by video, likely suffered a minor inversion lateral right ankle sprain when he planted to turn upfield - not a high ankle sprain despite TV/media speculation - went to locker room early before halftime and had ankle taped - was originally reported as a foot injury but video suggests only ankle injury - same side as right knee bone bruise that kept him out Week 1

Week 6 Opponent: Denver Broncos

De’Von Achane - SIC score 72

Injury: Right high ankle sprain

Impact: By video, worry for right high ankle sprain - similar to Austin Ekeler earlier this season but hopefully not as bad - limped off and did not return as game was a blowout in the fourth quarter

Week 6 Opponent: Carolina Panthers

Chris Olave - SIC score 83

Injury: Toe

Impact: Picked up a toe injury before the Week 5 game - finished with 2 catches for 12 yards and a touchdown - likely to linger next week against Houston but should play through 

Week 6 Opponent: Houston Texans

James Conner - SIC score 53

Injury: Right knee

Impact: Leg whipped on right knee during a 35-yard run - possible MCL sprain - was labeled questionable to return with a knee injury but did not return - if he plays in Week 6, will not be 100% - Emari Demercado could see more touches if Conner misses time

Week 6 Opponent: Los Angeles Rams

Daniel Jones - SIC score 40

Injury: Neck 

Impact: Ruled out with a neck injury, likely a neck hyperextension on the hit - injured on 16th sack in the last 2 games - different from his 2021 neck injury - hopefully X-rays don't show a spinous process fracture - no risk of paralysis - Jones said after the game “I'll be OK”

Week 6 Opponent: Buffalo Bills

Anthony Richardson - SIC score 68

Injury: Right shoulder AC joint

Impact: Ruled out with right shoulder injury - by video, injured on a rushing attempt late in the second quarter - likely an AC joint sprain - only chance to return is if he opts for a pain-numbing injection - in the locker room for X-rays but unlikely to have a broken collarbone - Gardner Minshew at QB

Week 6 Opponent: Jacksonville Jaguars

Tank Dell - SIC score 25

Injury: Concussion

Impact: Ruled out after concussion evaluation - chance to miss Week 6 against the Commanders as well

Week 6 Opponent: New Orleans Saints

Patrick Mahomes - SIC score 86

Injury: Left ankle sprain

Impact: Mild inversion left ankle sprain in the middle of the 2nd quarter - did not exit and will play through effectively - opposite side as Super Bowl ankle sprain and Week 3 right ankle sprain

Week 6 Opponent: Denver Broncos

Emmanuel Moseley - SIC score 35

Injury: Right knee

Impact: By limited video, slight worry for right knee ACL tear - hopefully his foot slips out and doesn't stick in the turf - first game back from left knee ACL tear on Oct. 9, 2022 - questionable with a knee injury

Week 6 Opponent: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

JuJu Smith-Schuster - SIC score 25

Injury: Right knee

Impact: By limited video, slight worry for right knee ACL tear - hopefully his foot slips out and doesn't stick in the turf - first game back from left knee ACL tear on Oct. 9, 2022 - questionable with a knee injury

Week 6 Opponent: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Chandler Zavala - SIC score 80

Injury: Stinger

Impact: Suffered a stinger and was taken to hospital out of precaution - positive update after a scary situation - movement in all extremities and issue shouldn't affect him going forward - gave a thumbs up while exiting the field on the cart

Week 6 Opponent: Miami Dolphins
