NFL Week 5 injury report: Tua Tagovailoa, Saivion Smith, and Dak Prescott’s most recent updates…

We examine the ailments that are plaguing the NFL in Week 5 and provide the most recent information on Prescott, Smith, and Tagovailoa.

In response to quarterback Tua Tagovailoa of the Miami Dolphins suffering a head injury on September 25, the National Football League and the NFL Players Association jointly issued a statement on Saturday that included an updated NFL concussion protocol.

Despite having a severe head injury, Tagovailoa was permitted to return to the game. After then, the 24-year-old was admitted to the hospital with a concussion.

As per the updated protocols, NFL players who suffer from ataxia—a condition characterized by weak muscle control—will not be permitted to compete.

However, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, who hurt his thumb in the first game, informed reporters on Sunday that he is still recovering from the injury and is going day by day. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones stated that even though Prescott intended to be back on the field by Week 5, the 29-year-old couldn’t grasp the ball well enough to play.

Jones claims that since then, Prescott has “made a lot of improvement” and will throw “a lot” this week. On Tuesday, he is anticipated to see a physician as well.

As they should, Dallas is prioritizing Prescott’s recuperation, but the Cowboys’ hopes this season also depend on the two-time Pro Bowler being healthy. Prescott, who finished 2021 with 4,449 passing yards with 37 touchdowns, captained the NFL’s top scoring offense.

Saivion Smith, a cornerback for the Detroit Lions, was transported to a nearby hospital in Foxboro after suffering a serious neck injury during Sunday’s game against the Patriots. Early in the first quarter, the 24-year-old collided with New England TE Hunter Henry and fell down.

Smith’s clumsy landing during his effort to cover Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caused him to leave Sunday’s game in an ambulance. And He

Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny, who was found to have a fractured fibula, will “probably” require surgery and miss the entire season. In order to ascertain the severity of the foot injury he suffered during Carolina’s Sunday loss to the 49ers, Panthers quarterback Baker Mayfield will get an MRI today. Yesterday, Mayfield departed wearing a walking boot. Marcus Williams, a safety for Baltimore with three interceptions already, too has a dislocated wrist and will probably go to IR, missing a lot of time. Saints wide receiver Deonte Harty is another who is anticipated to be sidelined for a while after sustaining a turf toe injury yesterday. There is concern that the damage might be severe.

The 49ers, who have suffered a few more injuries than the Panthers, are likewise not doing well.

Darrel Williams, the wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals, and running back James Conner (ribs) are both doubtful to play again.

WR Tee Higgins of the Bengals (ankle). Higgins hasn’t been on the field for Cincinnati since the opening quarter.

Wide receiver Tyreek Hills of the Miami Dolphins also sustained a foot injury during the team’s Sunday loss to the New York Jets, although it is “not” thought to be significant.

In the second half of Sunday’s game in London against the Packers, Giants running back Saquon Barkley sustained a shoulder injury that is uncertain.
