Week 4 injury roundup: Dolphins CB Brent Grimes injures right knee
An injured right shoulder kept Colts quarterback Andrew Luck out of his first NFL game Sunday.
And the trip to London may prove costly for the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins, though at least they now have byes to heal up.
The Colts scratched Luck against Jacksonville on Sunday, deactivating him after the quarterback was limited at practice this week. That put Matt Hasselbeck into his first start since 2012, and the 40-year-old backup came out with a 16-13 win in overtime.
Playing at Wembley Stadium, Miami lost top cornerback Brent Grimes in the first quarter to a knee injury. Grimes came up limping after trying to tackle Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall, who kept going for a 22-yard catch on third down. Grimes grimaced when he tried to run on the sideline and stayed out the rest of the game.
Dolphins backup linebacker Chris McCain also hurt a hip late at the end of the first quarter, and Miami outside linebacker Jelani Jenkins returned to the game after leaving with stinger symptoms after a hit to one of his shoulders.
The Jets lost strong safety Calvin Pryor in the fourth quarter of their 27-14 win after he apparently hurt his knee colliding with a receiver. Linebacker David Harris hurt a quadriceps muscle in the fourth quarter, and running back Bilal Powell hurt a groin muscle in the second quarter and didn't return. Jets rookie defensive lineman Leonard Williams also sprained an ankle late in the game.
