Here they are, the players who got a little (or a lot) banged up in Week 1. Lots of teams are going to have to figure some things out quickly (Hello, New England). Same goes for fantasy owners. How serious is the mysterious "head injury" to Joseph Addai? How will the Titans respond without Vince Young for a few weeks? Can Donte Stallworth ever stay healthy enough to play? Is Marion Barber looking at any missed time with a rib injury? And who will Jon Gruden turn to if Jeff Garcia can't go this weekend?

AFC EAST

New England                                                             

Tom Brady, QB (knee) — Brady had been incredibly fortunate throughout his career in the area of maintaining good health (despite being constantly listed on the injury report with a phantom shoulder problem). However, that luck ran out on Sunday as he went down with what has been reported as a torn ACL (and possibly other ligament damage) when his leg twisted under him after he was hit by Kansas City's Bernard Pollard. He will undergo surgery and be sidelined for the rest of the year. Clearly, this was the biggest injury of the afternoon and perhaps of the entire season. Matt Cassel played well in relief, but he is no Tom Brady and shouldn't be expected to produce like him. Therefore, you must seriously take a look at the values of Randy Moss and Wes Welker and downgrade them accordingly. However, one New England player that could see an upgrade to his season is running back Sammy Morris. Look for the Pats to rely on the run more frequently than they have in the past.

AFC NORTH

Baltimore

Cleveland

Donte Stallworth, WR (groin) — Stallworth is a talented receiver who has never been able to stay healthy during his career, and it appears that this season will be no exception. He injured his groin during warm-ups prior to Sunday's game, and the team is uncertain how long he will be out. The Stallworth injury further depletes a receiving corps that was already without projected third receiver Joshua Cribbs on Sunday and must do without Joe Jurevicius for at least the first six games. This should leave even more looks for Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow II. You may also want to lower your expectations quarterback Derek Anderson.

AFC SOUTH

Indianapolis

Dallas Clark, TE (knee) — Clark injured his knee against the Bears and returned to the sidelines in his street clothes. He was scheduled to have an MRI on Monday, but the team released no information about the exam Monday night. Coach Tony Dungy didn't seem overly concerned about the injury in his post-game press conference, but make sure Clark practices this week before inserting him into your lineup next weekend.

Joseph Addai, RB (head) — Addai left Sunday's game after getting his bell rung after catching a pass. He was replaced by Dominic Rhodes. Sources close to the team doubt he suffered a concussion and he probably could have played if the game had been winnable. Check back on him later in the week, but he should be fine going forward.

Tennessee

Vince Young, QB (knee) — It was a bad day for quarterbacks and their knees. Young sustained a torn medial collateral ligament during the game against the Jaguars and is expected to miss two to four weeks. The story takes a strange turn with the report that Young tried to take himself out of the game four plays before the injury but was forced back in by the Titans' coaching staff. Kerry Collins will take the reins of Tennessee's offense. He's still a capable quarterback but doesn't bring the mobility that Young does. Expect the Titans to rely even more heavily on the run during their franchise quarterback's absence.

Michael Griffin, DB (shoulder) — Griffin left Sunday's game with a shoulder injury and didn't return. He was having a fine day prior to the injury, recording six total tackles and a sack. He is an important piece to the Titans' team defense value, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if he doesn't play next week.

AFC WEST

Kansas City

Brodie Croyle, QB (shoulder) — Croyle suffered a separated shoulder and is expected to miss two to three weeks. Veteran Damon Huard will replace him in the lineup. This is actually decent news for tight end Tony Gonzalez and wide receiver Dwayne Bowe, as Huard is, at this stage of Croyle's career, the better option in terms of accuracy and intelligence. Don't expect the Chiefs to rush their young quarterback onto the field once he is healed if Kansas City puts together a couple of wins.

San Diego

Jamaal Williams, DL (knee) — Williams left the game against Carolina early due to an unspecified knee injury and didn't return. Williams is crucial to the value of the San Diego defense because , as the nose tackle, he's the guy who clogs up the running lanes. They face Denver next week, so stopping the run will be a priority.

NFC EAST

Dallas

Marion Barber, RB (ribs) — Barber suffered bruised ribs during the game against the Browns. He is not expected to miss any time, though he will probably play in pain for several weeks. Hey, they don't call him "The Barberian" for nothing, you know.

NFC NORTH

Detroit

Ernie Sims, LB (ankle) — Sims left the field at one point Sunday with a sprained ankle but later returned. Don't worry about him too much going forward.

NFC SOUTH

Tampa Bay

Derrick Brooks, LB (hamstring) — Brooks left Sunday's game with a hamstring injury and didn't return. He is scheduled to undergo tests on it (likely an MRI) to determine the severity. Brooks is a key cog in the Tampa Bay defense as well as a valuable IDP, so watch this one closely if you own either him or the Buccaneers' team defense.

Jeff Garcia, QB (ankle) — Garcia experienced swelling in his ankle after Sunday's game, and his status for the game against Atlanta is uncertain. Garcia is old and has always depended on his scrambling ability to keep him out of trouble, so any injury to the lower body that hampers his mobility is worrisome to his fantasy owners. Brian Griese would get the start if he can't go. Make sure Garcia practices this week before putting him in your lineup.

NFC WEST

Seattle

Nate Burleson, WR (knee) — How much tougher can things get for Matt Hasselbeck? First, he starts the season without Bobby Engram or Deion Branch. Now, he and Seattle get the news that Burleson tore a ligament in his knee and will be lost for the season. The receiving corps is already wafer thin as it is, so Burleson going down is magnified much more than it normally would be. He also garnered points for owners in leagues that count return yardage. The Seahawks will have to attempt to fly with Courtney Taylor, Jordan Kent and Logan Payne as the receivers. Yeah ... I never heard of them, either.

Maurice Morris, RB (knee) — Morris left Sunday's game with a knee sprain and is expected to miss at least the next two weeks. Coach Mike Holmgren has reportedly said that Julius Jones will be featured in Morris' absence, rather than the team sticking with a committee approach.

St. Louis

Drew Bennett, WR (foot) — Bennett suffered a fracture in his left foot Sunday and will be sidelined for four to six weeks. I hope you weren't depending on him to have a great season. This probably means even more work for Torry Holt, though tight end Randy McMichael could see an upgrade to his value as well.  Also, Dane Looker is suddenly quasi-relevant in fantasy again.

Leonard Little, LB (hamstring)- Little is expected to miss two weeks with a hamstring strain he suffered against Philadelphia.  Considering the woeful beating the Rams took on Sunday, they can ill afford to miss his services.  Little is instrumental in their run-stopping game.  Up next for St. Louis is the world champion New York Giants, who have been known to run the ball a time or two during games.  Somewhere, Brandon Jacobs is smiling.
