NFL injury tracker Week 5: Rashee Rice to IR, Nick Chubb returns to practice, Malik Nabers and Jonathan Taylor out

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice left Sunday’s win over the Los Angeles Chargers on a cart with a knee injury. Early reports had the team believing Rice tore his ACL. While that’s yet to be confirmed, he continues to undergo tests.

Head coach Andy Reid said Thursday that Rice was being held out of practice and will have more tests next week. While we wait, the Chiefs placed Rice on injured reserve and he will miss at least the next four games.

“I think just wait-and-see is where we’re at,” Reid said. “For his sake, we’re really hoping things work out for the best, but let’s just see where it goes. Leave it up to the doctors to see. I’m definitely not a doctor.”

Rice sustained the injury while giving chase after quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw an interception to Chargers cornerback Kristian Fulton. Rice tracked down Fulton on the interception return and stripped the ball from behind. At the same time, Mahomes dove in front of Fulton for a tackle.

“I wasn’t really worried about myself,” Mahomes said. “I was worried about his injury and hopefully it wasn’t as bad as it looked because I was the one that hit him.”

Giants rule out Nabers (concussion)

The Giants have ruled out Malik Nabers for their Sunday afternoon game in Seattle after he suffered a concussion during last Thursday’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Nabers attempted to make a catch along the sideline on fourth down and was unable to get the first down. He stayed down and was tended to by Giants athletic trainers before being taken to the locker room for the remainder of the game. He was later ruled out with a concussion.

Nabers entered concussion protocol the following day, and while head coach Brian Daboll said they would make the rookie wideout a game-time decision, on Friday he announced Nabers will not play but he is progressing.
