#BEI
Warrick Dunn, Perry Riley, and Warren Sapp will all miss next week, which will hurt Beijing, especially as Cliff Battles–Dunn’s leading backup who rushed for over 100 yards last game–will be out a couple months.
#BER
The Bärin were dealt a significant blow, as both starting RB Walter Payton and reserve Billy Sims will miss about a month. It’s unclear who the feature back will be next week: look for more carries for George Gulyanics for sure.
#BOS
Don Maynard will miss about 6 weeks, but the undefeated Bulldogs welcome back starters Nick Mangold, Darrelle Revis, and Richard Seymour.
#IST
Istanbul continues to be hit hard, but this time the impact should be short-lived, as they have 6 players out for about a week, led by DE Cliff Avril and LB Greg Lloyd. Troy Polamalu will miss about a month as well.
#LON
The Fog were hammered with injuries, although Richard Sherman (3 months) is the only starter. Still, missing Tim Wright, Shaun Alexander, and Jay Ratliff for about 1-2 months will also have an impact, at least at the margins of the roster.
#TOK
Starting RB Kimble Anders will miss a couple months, further damaging a bad start to the year for Tokyo. Abner Haynes and Ronnie Hillman should split RB duties in his absence.
