Injuries are part of every sport, especially football, where it seems like no team can escape at least one notable injury on a weekly basis. That was the case for several teams in Week 2 of the 2024 NFL season. 

Several teams sustained injuries to key players in Week 2. Let’s take a look at each of the notable injuries that took place during the second weekend of play.
