Did the injury bug hit your fantasy football team like it was a car windshield moving at 100 MPH? If so, it may be time to do some Damage Control.Quarterback
• Michael Vick, Eagles - Vick took a hard hit to the ribs and had X-rays. The results came back negative.
• Peyton Manning, Colts - Manning has a sore knee after Sunday's win. The injury isn't serious, which is good news. Better news comes as the Colts now enter a bye week.
• Kyle Boller, Rams - Boller was knocked out of Sunday's game with a concussion. He'll have tests done on Tuesday to see when he can return to action.
• Carson Palmer, Bengals - Palmer injured his left (non-throwing hand) thumb on Sunday. the Bengals don't seem too worried about the injury.
Running Back
• Ahmad Bradshaw, Giants - Bradshaw tweaked his lower back in the first half on Sunday. He might miss some practice this week but should be able to play in Week 6.
• Glen Coffee, 49ers - Coffee left Sunday's game with a lower leg injury. It was later revealed to be just a contusion.
Wide Receiver
• Calvin Johnson, Lions - Johnson hurt his right knee in the first half on Sunday against the Steelers and could not return. Coach Jim Schwartz said that the injury isn't considered significant.

Tight End

Offensive Line

• Matt Light, Patriots - Light was forced from the game on Sunday with a right knee injury. He was unable to put any weight on his leg in the locker room.
Individual Defensive Players
• Kawika Mitchell, Bills - Mitchell suffered a season-ending knee injury on Sunday. He should be cut in all IDP leagues.
