Another NFL Sunday is in the books with an action-packed slate behind us that featured a Super Bowl rematch between the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> and Philadelphia Eagles, a stunning overtime showdown between the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys and several other action-packed contests that we’ll do our best to catch you up on.<\/p>\n

The biggest news of the week was an unfortunate injury to Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow<\/a>, who went down with a toe injury in the second quarter of Sunday’s 31-27 win<\/a> over the Jacksonville Jaguars and didn’t return.<\/p>\n

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Monday morning that Burrow will need surgery<\/a> and will be sidelined for at least three months, which would entail most of the regular season.<\/p>\n

In relief of Burrow, QB Jake Browning went 21 of 32 for 241 yards passing, including two touchdowns and three interceptions. It was good enough for the win, though.<\/p>\n

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels could also be in some injury trouble, having undergone an MRI on his knee<\/a> after Thursday night’s loss<\/a> to the Green Bay Packers. Head coach Dan Quinn will reportedly update the media on Daniels’ status on Monday. Daniels played 100% of offensive snaps in Week 2.<\/p>\n

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields exited Week 2 after being diagnosed with a concussion, replaced by backup Tyrod Taylor, who finished the game with 56 yards passing and a touchdown. The team announced Monday morning that Fields is in concussion protocol<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also worth monitoring heading into Week 3 is the state of the San Francisco 49ers, who were without starting quarterback Brock Purdy, also dealing with a toe injury. The Niners continue without starting receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who’s expected to be out several more weeks in his return from a knee injury, as well as star tight end George Kittle, who’s on injured reserve with a hamstring injury suffered in Week 1. Jauan Jennings entered Week 2 as questionable with a shoulder injury, though he played 88.2% of offensive snaps Sunday.<\/p>\n

On the non-injury front, the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs have a headline story of their own as refs repeatedly didn’t call what looked to be false starts on tush push attempts<\/a>, resulting in plenty of renewed discourse regarding the controversial play, which went up for a vote at the annual league meetings this offseason. The proposal to ban the tush push would have required 24 votes to pass, but fell just short<\/a> with 22.<\/p>\n

Still on the agenda for the week is a Monday Night Football doubleheader, featuring the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Houston Texans kicking off at 7 p.m. ET, followed by the Los Angeles Chargers and Las Vegas Raiders (both 1-0) kicking off at 10 p.m. ET, both airing on ESPN and ABC.<\/p>\n
