Packers' Matt LaFleur has 'major concern' over injury that could become a  nightmare
Green Bay, WI – What was supposed to be a celebration at Lambeau Field quickly turned bittersweet, as Packers head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed that three key starters suffered injuries during Sunday’s hard-fought victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Packers secured another crucial win to stay atop the NFC standings, but the mood in the locker room was far from cheerful. In his postgame press conference, LaFleur broke the news with visible concern, calling the situation “a tough blow” for his team.

“It’s a tough blow for us, no doubt,” LaFleur said. “You never want to see your guys go down — especially players who mean so much to this team. But that’s football. We’ll rally, we’ll adjust, and the next man’s gotta be ready to step up. That’s what being a Packer is all about.”

While the team has yet to release the official injury details, sources indicate that the affected players include a starting offensive lineman, a key defensive piece, and a top wide receiver — three pillars of Green Bay’s success this season.

Despite the injuries, Jordan Love once again delivered a clutch performance, leading the Packers to a gritty fourth-quarter finish that left fans roaring at Lambeau. But with a crucial divisional game looming in Week 7, the question remains: Can the Packers stay dominant while dealing with a growing injury list?

Sean McDermott Gives Painful DaQuan Jones Injury Update Ahead of Bye Week
The Buffalo Bills’ tough stretch continued with another major injury blow. During pregame warmups before Monday Night Football against the Atlanta Falcons, veteran defensive tackle DaQuan Jones went down with a calf injury. Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters, “He popped his calf during warmups — it’s unfortunate for both him and the team.” Jones had started all five games this season, anchoring the Bills’ defensive front since joining the team in 2022. His loss adds to a growing list of injuries, including Matt Milano, Damar Hamlin, and T.J. Sanders, while Dalton Kincaid and Curtis Samuel also missed the Week 6 clash with Atlanta. In Buffalo’s 24–14 loss to the Falcons, the defense was overwhelmed by Atlanta’s ground game. Bijan Robinson ran for 170 yards and a touchdown, averaging 8.9 yards per carry, as the Falcons piled up 210 rushing yards. It marked yet another poor showing from a Bills run defense that currently ranks 30th in the league (allowing 156.3 yards per game). Offensively, things weren’t much better. Josh Allen threw two interceptions, managed only two touchdowns, and posted a QBR of 18.7 — his lowest since Week 14 of 2019. While Allen insists he’s healthy, the offense clearly lacks rhythm and confidence. Now, Buffalo limps into its bye week in desperate need of rest and regrouping. McDermott and his staff will use the time to recalibrate before facing the Carolina Panthers in Week 8. Can Buffalo recover from this injury-riddled stretch and get back on track?
