Brian Thomas Jr. - High Ankle Sprain
The average amount of missed time for high ankle sprains in WRs is 2.4 games. If they want him back at full strength and with a lower injury risk, he should take 3-4 weeks to rehab.
Projected Return: Week 12-14
C.J. Stroud - Concussion
Stroud is dealing with a concussion. He likely won’t be ready by Week 10, but monitor his practice status to be sure.
Projected Return: TBD
Samaje Perine - High Ankle Sprain
These knock athletes out of action on average for 3 weeks for RBs. That means he’ll likely miss 2 games.
Projected Return: Week 12-13
Aaron Jones - AC Sprain
A minor AC sprain means Jones has a chance to play in Week 10 without a setback but is highly volatile due to reinjury.
Projected Return: Week 10-11
Matthew Golden - AC Sprain
A minor AC sprain would allow Golden to play next week, but he would be volatile. Plan on no Golden for 1-2 weeks.
Projected Return: Week 11-13
Puka Nacua - Ribs
Nacua hurt his ribs, which is painful, but without a fracture, he should return in Week 10.
Projected Return: Week 10
