New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez has a "minor break" in his nose, but has no limitations and will play in New York's next game at Baltimore.
That update came Monday, one day after he was hit in the face by a Raiders defender and finished the 34-24 defeat by wearing a visor, which he will do for the next few weeks.
"It's probably 'minor' to everybody else, but probably more than that to him," coach Rex Ryan said of Sanchez's latest injury. "If we got our nose broke, we'd probably think it was more than minor. That happens. He got hit in the nose, but the thing I love about Mark is how competitive he is."
Cornerback Antonio Cromartie has a bruised lung and ribs and his playing status is uncertain. He was hurt in the second half, and taken to a hospital for further evaluation before flying home with the team.
Backup tight end Jeff Cumberland is out for the season after tearing an Achilles tendon.
Raiders coach Hue Jackson said star running back Darren McFadden should be ready to go this week despite leaving the victory late in the fourth quarter when his hamstring tightened.
"I'm going to be very cautious with him to make sure he's OK," Jackson said. "But I think he'll be fine."
The Raiders also lost a pair of defensive backs in the first quarter, cornerback Chris Johnson (hamstring) and safety Michael Huff (concussion). Jackson said he would know more about their status on Wednesday.
Michael Vick's injured right hand originally was reported as broken, then updated by the Eagles on Monday to a severe bruise. Also hurt in the loss to the Giants were receiver Jeremy Maclin (hamstring strain), and CB Brandon Hughes (strained hamstring).
Indianapolis Colts QB Kerry Collins was still being evaluated for a concussion, with coach Jim Caldwell uncertain of the diagnosis.
Also sidelined by concussions Sunday were Eagles receiver Riley Cooper; Falcons running back Jason Snelling; and Buccaneers LB Geno Hayes.
Hayes was hurt on the same play as safety Cody Grimm, who will be sidelined with a right knee injury. Grimm and Hayes were stopping Atlanta's Michael Turner for a 1-yard gain.
"We don't know the extent of that yet. We have to get the MRI," Bucs coach Raheem Morris said of Grimm's injury. "I know his MCL was messed up and he's got some other stuff that we're checking on right now. So it may not be for the year. We're not sure of that yet."
Chiefs cornerback Brandon Flowers could miss Sunday's game against Minnesota after hurting his ankle in a 20-17 loss to San Diego. The injury, which the team initially reported was to his right knee, occurred after Flowers intercepted a pass.
Coach Todd Haley said Monday he won't know details of the injury until later in the week, but Flowers said after the game it still hurt after an injection to dull the pain.
Kansas City has already lost running back Jamaal Charles, safety Eric Berry, tight end Tony Moeaki and linebacker Brandon Siler to season-ending injuries.
Browns coach Pat Shurmur said running back Peyton Hillis has improved after missing Sunday's game against Miami with strep throat. Hillis was sent home from the stadium.
Cleveland Pro Bowl tackle Joe Thomas has a strained knee but it doesn't seem serious.
Other key injuries updated Monday include Green Bay tackle Bryan Bulaga (sprained and bruised left knee) and running back Ryan Grant (kidney bruise); Giants DE Justin Tuck, who aggravated a neck problem and also strained his groin; and Ravens safety Haruki Nakamura, who sustained damage to the cruciate ligament in his right knee.
"It looks promising; maybe a month," coach John Harbaugh said of Nakamura.
Jaguars fullback and special teams ace Montell Owens injured a knee ligament and will be out one or two weeks, coach Jack Del Rio said Monday.
Jags defensive coordinator Mel Tucker tore a quadriceps muscle catching punts Friday and will have surgery later this week. He directed the defense from upstairs in the coaching box Sunday in a 16-10 loss at Carolina.
