Most costly NFL injuries in early 2016

Abdullah suffered a torn ligament in his foot in Week 2 and could be finished for the season. The Lions will try to make due with Theo Riddick and Dwayne Washington.

The Texans' offense has sputtered early this season, and the absence of Brown could have something to do with it. He's yet to appear in a game due to a quad injury.

Bryant suffered a foot injury in Week 3 that will keep him out at least one game and possibly longer. He apparently dodged a bullet, as he initially though the injury was much more serious.

Just after a breakout game in Week 2, Coleman suffered a broken hand in practice that will keep him out for four to six weeks. The Browns have been impressed with their rookie wideout when on the field.

Cushing suffered a knee injury in Week 1 and hasn't been on the field since then. The Texans could desperately use him after losing J.J. Watt.

Cutler suffered a thumb injury in Week 2, vaulting Brian Hoyer into the starting role for Chicago. He's not expected to miss much more time.

The oft-injured Foster suffered a groin injury in Week 2 and has already missed two games with the ailment. He did only average 2.9 yards per carry before getting hurt.

Fuller underwent knee surgery in mid-August and has been placed on the injured reserve since then. The Bears' secondary hasn't had much luck stopping opposing passing games while Fuller has been out.

RG3 got an opportunity to start for the Browns this season, but it ended with a shoulder injury in Week 1. He's likely out for the season.

Hall showed early in the year that he had something left as a safety, but he suffered a torn ACL in Week 3. The Redskins will miss him for the rest of the year.

Alongside Jay Cutler, Langford is set to miss four to six weeks with an ankle injury. The Bears will miss his versatility as a runner and receiver.

Martin has been sidelined recently with a hamstring injury, pushing Charles Sims into the starting role. Martin had more than 1,400 rushing yards last season.

After replacing Robert Griffin III, McCown suffered a shoulder injury of his own that could keep him out well into October. The injury has pushed rookie Cody Kessler onto the field.

Moncrief suffered a fractured scapula in Week 2 that's keeping him out for four to six weeks. Phillip Dorsett is garnering a bigger role in the offense as a result.

Only a few weeks after losing Teddy Bridgewater for the year, Peterson went down with a torn meniscus. He's set to miss the rest of 2016, and his future with Minnesota is in doubt.

Pouncey hasn't played yet this season with a hip injury, and the Dolphins' offensive line has suffered. The team has started the season 1-3 without him.

Rawls suffered a fractured leg late last season and now has a hairline fracture in his fibula. Christine Michael has played well in Rawls' absence.

Romo hurt his back in a preseason game, pushing rookie Dak Prescott onto the field. Prescott has played well in Romo's absence. While Romo could return at midseason, it remains to be seen if he will regain the starting quarterback job.

The Packers' secondary was torched by Marvin Jones in Week 3, and Shields' absence certainly didn't help Green Bay's cause. He's been out since Week 1 due to a concussion.

Stewart's contribution was key to the Carolina offense last season, and his loss in Week 2 due to a hamstring injury has clearly hurt the team. The Panthers hope to have him back sometime in October.

Te'o hasn't been the most durable player during his NFL career, and that unfortunate trend continues this season. He's out for the year with a torn Achilles.

Trevathan underwent thumb surgery after Week 2, and it remains to be seen when he will return to the Bears. Chicago was counting on him to help improve a mediocre defense from last season.

While the Giants play several running backs, Vereen has a unique skill set as a pass catcher. The Giants will miss him after suffering a torn triceps that will keep him out for significant time.

Ware underwent elbow surgery and is expected to miss a significant portion of the season. Shane Ray has done a nice job so far in replacing him as a key pass rusher alongside Von Miller.

Coming off major offseason foot surgery, Watkins has struggled to play through pain and has recently missed time after aggravating the injury. It's a huge loss after he had 1,047 yards and nine scores in only 13 games last season.

Watt rushed back from offseason back surgery and is now facing the consequences. He underwent a second surgery after Week 3 and will miss the remainder of the year.

A key part of the San Diego offense, Woodhead is out for the year after tearing his ACL in Week 2. The pressure is now on Melvin Gordon to keep improving in his sophomore season.
