Whether you play fantasy football<\/a> or bet football, it\u2019s always important to stay on top of injuries. Here\u2019s an early look at who went down in Week 3.<\/p>\n

Steven Jackson, Rs: GROIN<\/p>\n

The St. Louis Rs were an NFL betting<\/a> surprise this week, toppling Washington, but their success could be short-lived if Steven Jackson is out long-term. Their workhorse back injured his groin yesterday and will have an MRI today (no word on the results as of press time).<\/p>\n

Ray Rice, Ravens: KNEE<\/p>\n

Ray Rice was another outstanding all-purpose back to get dinged up on Sunday. He tweaked his knee but the Ravens are optimistic the injury isn\u2019t serious. He\u2019ll have some tests today. If he misses time, Wills McGahee will get the start in his place against Pittsburgh\u2019s stout front seven next week.<\/p>\n

Jahvid Best, Lions: TOE<\/p>\n

A week after going crazy against the Philadelphia Eagles, super rookie runner Jahvid Best got grounded quickly against the Minnesota Vikings. He injured his big toe and had trouble putting weight on it afterwards. The early diagnosis is a ligent sprain. Don\u2019t be surprised if he sits out Week 4 against Green Bay. Betting<\/a> sharps shouldn\u2019t be picking Detroit in that matchup anyway.<\/p>\n

Cedric Benson, Bengals: LEG<\/p>\n

What\u2019s with all the feature backs getting hurt yesterday? Cedric Benson\u2019s boo-boo hardly qualifies, however. He left the ge late and the Bengals had a very capable replacement in Bernard Scott. Early indications are that Benson will be just fine.<\/p>\n

Andre Johnson, Texans: ANKLE<\/p>\n

All-world Texans receiver Andre Johnson has the dreaded high ankle sprain but is playing through it for now. He tweaked it on Sunday but still managed four catches for 64 yards. The good news is that it doesn\u2019t sound like Houston will lose his services; the bad news is that he may not be as dominant as normal until the injury heals.<\/p>\n

Demaryius Thomas, Broncos: HAND\/WRIST<\/p>\n

The explosive rookie wideout Demaryius Thomas banged up his hand and wrist late in Sunday\u2019s loss to Indianapolis. While the injury didn\u2019t look too serious, the Broncos may err on the side of caution and sit Thomas in Week 4. Kyle Orton was spreading the wealth anyway, hooking up with nine different receivers against Indy, so Denver can probably afford to rest Thomas.<\/p>\n

Brett Favre, Vikings: STINGER<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not often that guys return to ges after stingers, which are always scary injuries. But Brett Favre is football\u2019s ultimate iron man for a reason. He played through it against Detroit and now gets a bye week to heal up. I\u2019d bet at any sportsbook<\/a> that he\u2019s OK.<\/p>\n

Visanthe Shiancoe, Vikings: LEG<\/p>\n

Just like Favre, Shiancoe should be good to go in two weeks. Shiancoe called the leg injury \u201ca little tweak\u201d but added that \u201cI need the bye right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
