    TLDR

    A user's September 21, 2026 NFL injury roundup suggests Caleb Williams avoided a significant hamstring injury despite being carted off. The user expects little time missed but says Williams' mobility would be limited if he plays. J.K. Dobbins' hamstring injury is also described as seemingly minor, though worth monitoring.

    The roundup raises concern about Alec Pierce's apparent left ankle/heel reinjury, saying he was carted to the locker room and seen leaving the stadium on crutches without putting weight on his left leg.

    The user says Avonte Maddox will require season-ending foot surgery and Mike Onwenu has a fractured ankle. For Kelvin Banks, the roundup cites an initial belief of a high ankle sprain and describes four to six weeks as the typical best-case recovery timeline.

    Sebastian Fearon DPT, CSCS, OCS@TheDegenDocNFL Injury Morning Roundup 🏥☕️👨‍⚕️ 🩼 #DaBears QB Caleb Williams (hamstring) - Despite being carted off late in the game, seems to have avoided a significant injury. Mild to moderate hamstring strain. Questionable for this week but shouldn’t miss much time at all. Mobility would be limited if he plays Monday night. Rare case where player reaction on the field didn’t match severity ⚠️📈 🩼 #ForTheShoe WR Alec Pierce (heel) - Appears to reinjure his L ankle/heel. Carted to the locker room & seen leaving stadium using crutches & not putting weight on his left leg. Not expecting good news here 📉 🩼 #OnePride S Avonte Maddox (foot) - Will requires season ending foot surgery ❌ 🩼 #BroncosCountry RB JK Dobbins (hamstring) - Seems to be a minor injury but still one worth monitoring for this week. Should not be long term at all however ⚠️📈 🩼 #Saints LT Kelvin Banks (ankle) - Initial belief is he suffered a high ankle sprain. Typically a 4-6 week recovery timeline in the best case 📉 🩼 #NEPats OL Mike Onwenu (ankle) - Fractured ankle, would expect out a significant amount of time 📉23d
    Ian Rapoport@RapSheet#Steelers RB Rico Dowdle, who was carted to the locker room on Sunday with a toe injury, checked out relatively OK following tests. He's considered to be day-to-day.22d
    Adam Schefter@AdamSchefterAs the Broncos start practice this week, running back Jonah Coleman is dealing with a sprained ankle that he suffered in Sunday’s game vs. Jacksonville, per source. Denver RB RJ Harvey continues to make progress on his hamstring recovery, and the team also received good news on RB JK Dobbins, who left Sunday’s game early, but is expected to practice this week.21d
