Injuries and Positional Changes in the NFL

Every week we see impactful players go down due to injury or get replaced because of poor play. There is plenty of that this week that you must keep an eye on as Sunday approaches. Here are some of the big changes in the NFL…

The San Francisco 49ers have come out and said that Carlos Hyde is unlikely to play against the Bucs this weekend. This makes sense considering he couldn’t finish the game last week and they have a bye coming two weeks from now. Mike Davis should see the majority of the snaps at the running back position in week seven.

The Jets looked quite embarrassing on Monday Night Football just a few days ago, so it should come as no surprise that Ryan Fitzpatrick will be replaced as starting quarterback. Instead, Geno Smith will be starting for the Jets when they face the Ravens in week seven.

There are rumors that when Tony Romo becomes healthy he will not be the starting quarterback. This isn’t too surprising considering how great Dak Prescott has been. The Cowboys are on a roll and look to be a force in the NFC as long as their two rookies are in the lineup (Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliot).
