Michael TurnerDid the injury bug hit your fantasy football team like it was a car windshield moving at 100 MPH? If so, it may be time to do some Damage Control.

Quarterback

Matt Ryan, Falcons - Ryan injured his big toe on the team's first drive and left the game, never to return. He's already been ruled out of the Week 13 game against Philadelphia with turf toe.

Mark Sanchez, Jets - Sanchez injured his left knee after scrambling for eight yards in the third quarter. He only missed four plays and returned to the game.

Eli Manning, Giants - Manning has been dealing with foot issues for a while now, maybe even since the original injury back in Week 4. This new stress reaction is causing the quarterback pain, but he says he will play through that pain in Week 13 when his Giants play the Cowboys.

• Jason Campbell, Redskins - Campbell suffered concussion-like symptoms on Sunday but is expected to be fine to play in Week 13.

Running Back

• LeRon McClain, Ravens - McClain suffered an abdominal strain on Sunday night. he left in the third quarter and did not return. He says he's "hurting like crazy", but will play in Week 13.

Michael Turner, Falcons - Turner re-injured his ankle on Sunday, the severity of the new injury is still unknown. Roddy White spoke after the game and said that he felt Jerious Norwood would be the running back in Week 13. This statement was made directly after the game and should be taken as an educated guess and not a team statement.

Bernard Scott, Bengals - Scott's injury that limited his second half carries was turf toe. The injury shouldn't cost the running back any significant playing time, if any at all.

Wide Receiver

Michael Clayton, Buccaneers - Clayton left Sunday's game with a left knee injury, the extent of which is unknown at this time. The team plans to do further testing on his knee on Monday.

Muhsin Muhammad, Panthers - Muhammad was held to just one catch on Sunday and admits that his knee injury is still not completely healed.

DeSean Jackson, Eagles - Jackson suffered a concussion on Sunday and will spend the next few days being evaluated. The team will be decidedly cautious with the receiver in regard to his status for Week 13.
