**NFL Week 10: A Day of Key Injuries Across League Matchups**
Week 10 of the NFL season has proved to be a battle of endurance, as several notable injuries occurred across Sunday's games, including an early morning face-off in London between the Carolina Panthers and New York Giants. Here is a summary of key injuries from the matches.
The Atlanta Falcons faced a setback against the New Orleans Saints when starting cornerback Mike Hughes left in the second quarter due to a neck injury. Hughes, who plays opposite of A.J. Terrell, was tagged as questionable to return after his departure.
The Indianapolis Colts lost Dalton Kincaid, their second-year tight end, who exited the match before halftime due to a knee injury. Kincaid, who had already caught two passes, was also ruled questionable to come back.
In the clash between the Carolina Panthers and New York Giants, veteran running back Miles Sanders was carted off in the second quarter with an ankle/foot issue and was subsequently ruled out. Sanders, second on the depth chart behind Chuba Hubbard, left a void that might open the door for rookie Jonathon Brooks to rise as Hubbard’s main backup.
The Minnesota Vikings and their opponents saw Tank Bigsby depart in the first quarter due to an ankle injury. This left Travis Etienne Jr. to shoulder the load in his absence, with Bigsby being labeled questionable to return.
Another crucial injury hit Wanya Morris, the reigning Super Bowl champions' left tackle, who exited in the second quarter against the Denver Broncos. Morris’ knee injury placed his return in doubt.
Green Bay Packers faced a scare when star running back Aaron Jones took a significant hit to the chest in the fourth quarter against the Jaguars. Although he was carted off, Jones managed to return late in the same quarter.
The Saints also dealt with the loss of rookie left tackle Taliese Fuaga in the first half of their game against the Falcons. Fuaga’s thigh injury called for backup Oli Udoh to step in and protect Derek Carr’s blind side.
Defensive disruptions were also significant, with linebacker Pete Werner leaving late in the game against the Falcons, and cornerback Darius Slay injuring his left ankle on the very first pass thrown in his direction. Both were ruled questionable to return.
Lastly, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers suffered a serious blow as All-Pro left tackle Tristan Wirfs limped off the field against the San Francisco 49ers with a potential MCL sprain. This left the Bucs' already fragile offensive line without its top protector. In the same game, emerging cornerback Zyon McCollum also departed late due to a hamstring issue and was ruled questionable to return.
