We are four weeks through the 2022 NFL regular season, and several clubs are dealing with impactful injuries. Just look at the quarterback issues around the league: Tom Brady is dealing with multiple issues, sitting out practice Wednesday with right shoulder and right finger injuries. The Dallas Cowboys still haven’t returned Dak Prescott after he suffered a thumb injury in the season opener, Mac Jones of the New England Patriots may miss his second game of the season due to a high ankle sprain and then there are questions around New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones‘ ankle injury.

Gordon figures to have a bigger role with Javonte Williams lost for the season due to a torn ACL.
