NFL Week 5 injury report

Week 5 was particularly brutal for NFL injuries with stars like Odell Beckham Jr. and J.J. Watt suffering major injuries. Of course, this is the NFL, so they were far from the only impact players who were hurt to some degree this weekend.

Here's a rundown of the biggest injuries of the week.

Beckham was diagnosed with a broken ankle after getting rolled up on late in Sunday's game. He will wait for a second opinion before undergoing surgery, and the rest of his season is in doubt.

Clay was carted off the field on Sunday with a knee injury. Clay has an MCL sprain and maybe more, meaning he'll be out at least a few weeks, which is a crushing blow for a Bills squad that is already without No. 1 wideout Jordan Matthews.

Chris Conley, WR, Chiefs

Conley was carted off the field late in Sunday's game with an Achilles injury after recovering an onside kick. DeMarcus Robinson will likely see more snaps with the chance Conley is done for the year.

Dwayne Harris, WR, Giants

Harris will miss the rest of the season with a fractured foot. It's a costly injury for a Giants team that is very thin at wideout.

Kelce took a hit to the head just before halftime and wasn't seen during the second half due to a concussion. The Chiefs still managed to score 42 points and will monitor their star tight end.
