With Monday Night Football still to go, it looks like we finally caught a break on the injury front. It’s about time because the injury hits have been brutal this year.
Thankfully, we don’t have many injuries to report this week. Almost everyone on our list returned to their game in some capacity. Hopefully, that means fantasy outcomes were not affected too much by injuries. Let’s get to all the news and get you updated on who went down in yesterday’s games.

Chuba Hubbard- RB, Carolina Panthers
Chuba Hubbard enjoyed a career day yesterday morning against the New York Giants. He ran for 153 yards and scored a touchdown. However, he did suffer a knee injury late in the game.

Fortunately, Hubbard would return to the game on the next possession. It looks as though he avoided a major injury and should be fine moving forward. Managers should still monitor his status throughout the week just in case he pops up on Carolina’s injury report.
Malik Nabers - WR, New York Giants
Malik Nabers was evaluated for a concussion in yesterday’s loss to the Carolina Panthers.

He eventually cleared protocol and returned for the rest of the game. This was good to see as Nabers missed two weeks earlier this year recovering from a concussion. The broadcast team also mentioned that Nabers was fighting a hamstring injury, so that is something else to note. He should be fine, but keep an eye on his status just in case he experiences any delayed symptoms or if his hamstring injury becomes an issue.
Aaron Jones - RB, Minnesota Vikings
Minnesota’s RB1 left Sunday’s game after suffering a chest injury.

Takes a big shot the right right side of his ribs. Was holding his ribs and went to the ground. Hopefully not a fracture but looks like he’s in a lot of pain pic.twitter.com/TgRKvCHeag

Aaron Jones was in a lot of pain and was eventually taken to the locker room. However, he was able to return to the game and helped Minnesota close out a victory.
It looks like Jones avoided a major injury and this was just a scare. Managers should still monitor the RotoBaller newsfeed for any changes to his status for Week 11.
Dalton Kincaid - TE, Buffalo Bills
Dalton Kincaid suffered a knee injury in yesterday's win over the Indianapolis Colts.

Left knee concern for PCL sprain or patella/bursa irritation.

He missed a good chunk of the game, returned for one play with a knee brace, but then left the game for good. We don’t know the severity of his injury at this time. Kincaid is set to undergo further testing later today, so we should have a clearer picture relatively soon.
It’s probably wise for gamers to expect Kincaid to miss a game or two. Dawson Knox would slide in as Buffalo’s TE1 and could emerge as a viable streamer during any Kincaid absence.
Najee Harris - RB, Pittsburgh Steelers
Najee Harris briefly left yesterday’s game with an injury. He was examined by trainers on the field, popped back onto his feet, and walked to the sideline under his own power. Harris would later return to the game.
Whatever bothered Harris at that moment, it didn’t seem too serious. Looks like this was just another injury scare, and Harris should be fine. He scored another touchdown and continues to have a nice season.
Tony Pollard - RB, Tennessee Titans
Tony Pollard left the game against the Chargers to have his right knee examined by trainers. He only missed a few plays and soon returned to the game. Pollard still received the majority of touches, but Tyjae Spears cut into his workload.
The sixth-year back should continue to lead this backfield in touches as long as he’s healthy, but yesterday's touch distribution is something to keep an eye on.
Tank Bigsby - RB, Jacksonville Jaguars
Tank Bigsby injured his ankle early in yesterday’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby is questionable to return with an ankle injury.
— SleeperNFL (@SleeperNFL) November 10, 2024
As with most players yesterday, he was able to return to the game. However, Bigsby only carried the football two times. It's possible his play was affected by the injury.
Bigsby came into this week battling an ankle injury, so should keep an eye on his practice status this week. Even if he emerges unscathed, Bigsby's fantasy prospects take a hit with starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence’s rest-of-season status in doubt. Hopefully, Bigsby’s ankle heals up, and we can see him play at a high level once again.
Sam LaPorta - TE, Detroit Lions
LaPorta suffered a shoulder injury in last night's game against the Houston Texans.
#Lions Injury Update:
TE Sam LaPorta, Shoulder, Questionable
— Detroit Lions PR (@LionsPR) November 11, 2024
The sophomore tight end was unable to return to the game. We will know more on the severity of this injury later today, but it's not a good sign Sam LaPorta couldn't return to action. Brock Wright took over in his absence. Given LaPorta's own lack of involvement in the offense, it will be hard to recommend Wright as a streaming option. Still, he would take over TE1 duties should LaPorta miss any action.
