There were tons of injuries in week 1 of the NFL season and a bunch of key players went down in the AFC North. 

Let’s start with the Baltimore Ravens. Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins suffered a season-ending achilles tendon rupture in the team's win on Sunday against the Houston Texans. Dobbins is just two years removed from his season ending ACL, LCL, hamstring and meniscus tear. Another year of horrible luck with injuries for the fourth-year tailback. 

There are five more injuries for the injury riddled Ravens heading into Week Two against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Second-year center Tyler Linderbaum suffered a sprained ankle and is expected to be out next week, according to Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore Sports. 

Next up is star cornerback Marlon Humphrey. Humphrey suffered a foot injury in week 1 and he “has a shot” to play Week 2, according to Sherree Burruss of NFL Network Reports.

Offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley is expected to miss at least one week after suffering a sprained right knee on Sunday against the Texans, again coming from Woodland. 

Mark Andrews is dealing with a quad injury that he suffered during training camp. Andrews didn’t play in Week 1 but he’s questionable for Week 2 as of Tuesday, Sept. 12.

Baltimore safety Marcus Williams has already been ruled out and is expected to miss significant time with what seems to be a torn pec. The team is still awaiting a confirmation but the team fears Williams will be shut down for a while with a torn pec. 

The Bengals added defensive end Joseph Ossai to the injury report as he’s still dealing with the right ankle injury that he suffered in the team’s final preseason game.

The Cleveland Browns took a big hit to their offensive line as OT Jack Conklin suffered a season-ending ACL and MCL tear, in their win over the Bengals on Sunday.  

Browns safety Juan Thornhill was also added to the injury report for Sunday’s Week 2 bout against the Steelers with an injured calf. Thornhill is questionable for the contest. 

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson is expected to miss multiple weeks with a hamstring injury that he suffered in their Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN Reports.
