There were a staggering number of injuries to stars in the NFL in Week 2
There was some speculation that, because the pandemic limited the amount of practice and contact, we could see a huge influx of injuries. The league went relatively unscathed in Week 1. It was different in Week 2.

The San Francisco 49ers and the Denver Broncos lost extremely impactful players in their second week of play. Surely, fantasy football owners and NFL fans across the nation will be disappointed to see this list. Here’s a look at those costly injuries.
