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.

MarShawn Lloyd: The Packers running back left with an ankle injury against the Colts, and did not return.

Tank Bigsby: The Jaguars running back left the game against the Browns with a shoulder injury. 

Isiah Pacheco: The Chiefs running back injured his ankle in the second half of the eventual win over the Bengals, and was seen leaving the stadium on crutches and in a walking boot, per ESPN. Set to miss at least four games after being placed on IR.

Joe Mixon: Left Sunday night’s game with an ankle injury and will get an MRI on Monday.

Jefferson, who needed assistance walking off the field, said afterward he’ll be fine.Cooper Kupp: Matthew Stafford entered this matchup without Puka Nacua, and now he may have lost Kupp. He suffered an ankle injury in the first half vs. the Cardinals, and never returned.
