NFL Week 2 injury roundup (Getty (Images)
Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season did not go easy on quarterbacks. Several other key players also picked up injuries, painting a grim injury picture heading into Week 3. Now wide receivers DeMarcus Robinson and Mike Evans both exited their Week 2 game against Miami. Green Bay’s Jayden Reed, fresh off missing most of 2025 with a leg injury, also went down with a back problem after a hard fall, adding to the Packers’ concerns at receiver.
The 49ers already lost Ricky Pearsall for the season and De’Zhaun Stribling for at least two months. Three young signal-callers went down with potentially serious injuries in a brutal Sunday across the league. Chicago Bears’ Caleb Williams was carted off the field. Washington Commanders’ Jayden Daniels dislocated his elbow. New York Giants’ Jaxson Dart took a nasty hit that left fans holding their breath. San Francisco’s injury situation is becoming a crisis. Robinson faces three to six weeks out with a high ankle sprain. Evans is dealing with a hip issue, though his outlook appears somewhat better.
Dart’s situation in New York looks more stable than initially feared. After absorbing a brutal hit in the first quarter, the Giants rookie was ruled out for the rest of the game.
