Major Injuries - Week 9

Several major injuries occurred in Week 9.
Let's take a closer look.

Chad Johnson: Ocho Cinco was carried off on a stretcher after going across the middle late and hitting his head hard on the ground. Johnson reportedly had movement in his arms and legs. A CT scan on his neck came back negative, so that is good news. He made the Bengals' flight home, so this doesn't appear to be anything overly serious.

Larry Johnson: LJ had to be helped off of their field after suffering an ankle injury. He could not put any weight on that ankle. He was carted off the field.

Jay Cutler: Cutler was dragged down hard and carted off the field early in the game. He reportedly has a contusion on his leg. He was hit on his leg with a helmet as he was going down, and his leg got caught up on some shoulder pads while being hit. He did not return to the game. Current rumor is that he suffered a broken or fractured ankle.

Ahman Green: After a surprisingly hot start today, Green is out with a knee injury.

Brandon Jackson: Jackson suffered a concussion against the Chiefs.

NFL Records: Adrian Peterson - 30 carries - 295 yards - 3 TDs.
Antonio Cromartie - 109 yard return of a missed FG - Longest play in NFL history.
