NFL: Injury Report

Roethlisberger, Warner leave with injuries: The two quarterbacks from last season's Super Bowl left their games after taking blows to the head Sunday.

The Steelers' Ben Roethlisberger wobbled off the field during overtime of Pittsburgh's 27-24 loss to the Chiefs, while the Cardinals' Kurt Warner went out in the second quarter of Arizona's 21-13 win over the Rams.

Roethlisberger had thrown for 398 yards and three touchdowns when he apparently took a knee to the helmet while being sacked by Derrick Johnson. Coach Mike Tomlin said he was not certain how severe the injury might be.

Warner was 15 for 19 for 203 yards and two touchdowns, helping the Cardinals take a 21-3 lead. It appeared Warner was hurt by safety O.J. Atogwe's high hit on a blitz that drove the quarterback's head into the turf.

Matt Leinart replaced Warner late in the second quarter. Warner said it was just a precaution for what the team termed concussion-related symptoms.

The Steelers, already missing Pro Bowl safety Troy Polamalu (knee), also lost guard Chris Kemoeatu to a right knee injury.

Stafford, Romo play through injuries: Lions rookie Matthew Stafford returned to the game because the Browns called a timeout after he hurt his left shoulder on what would have been the last play. Detroit was given an untimed play because of a pass interference call in the end zone when Stafford heaved a desperation attempt.

Stafford was hit after his throw to the end zone and replaced by Daunte Culpepper. He came back to throw his fifth touchdown pass from a yard out to former Oklahoma State star Brandon Pettigrew for the 38-37 win.

Coach Jim Schwartz said X-rays showed Stafford's collarbone wasn't broken.

Before and after every snap, the Cowboys' Tony Romo felt the throbbing in his back, the result of an accidental blow while making a first-quarter tackle.

Washington's Betts has knee injury: Redskins running back Ladell Betts, the fill-in for injured Clinton Portis, damaged the MCL in his left knee midway through the first quarter. Coach Jim Zorn said Betts will have an MRI to determine the severity of the injury.

Right guard Chad Rinehart fractured his right leg.

Bills even more banged up: Buffalo running back Marshawn Lynch (shoulder), guard Eric Wood (leg), guard Seth McKinney (knee) and defensive tackle John McCargo (calf) left their game against Jacksonville and did not return.

Wood appears to be the most serious of the group. He broke his left leg on the second play of the fourth quarter.

Lynch was taken to the locker room on a cart in the second quarter.

Packers' Harris, Kampman hurt: Green Bay lost two defenders during a 30-24 victory over San Francisco.

Coach Mike McCarthy said the knee injuries to CB Al Harris and LB Aaron Kampman "did not look very good." By Associated Press

I wish a quick recovery for all people that were injuried this weekend.
