NFL Week 5 injuries: Latest updates on Texans’ Nico Collins, Dolphins’ De’Von Achane, other injured players

Week 5, no different than any other week, had its share of injuries. They reared their ugly head early, beginning with the game in London. 

Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers hurt his ankle, and according to the quarterback and head coach Robert Saleh, it’s a low ankle sprain and the 40-year-old signal-caller should be good to go for next week. In the same game, Vikings running back Aaron Jones went down with a hip injury, and will have an MRI on Monday to determine the severity. 

Dolphins running back De’Von Achane exited Sunday’s victory over the Patriots and entered concussion protocol. The Fins took another hit, as Jevón Holland is expected to miss some time with a hand injury.

Also, Texans wide receiver Nico Collins hurt his hamstring after a 67-yard TD catch and considered day-to-day, while San Francisco is preparing to be without kicker Jake Moody for some time as he deals with a high ankle injury.
