Week 2 of the 2025 NFL season was an entertaining one— but it also came with consequences.
While the slate of games was broadly enjoyable to the fans, multiple starting quarterbacks suffered injuries that will force several teams to start backups this week. The biggest name, of course, was Joe Burrow, who went down with a serious toe injury during the Bengals' win over the Jaguars that will keep him out for months. Two young QBs in Jayden Daniels and J.J. McCarthy were also revealed to have concerning lower-body injuries: a sprained knee for Daniels and an ankle sprain for McCarthy. Daniels's status is questionable but McCarthy is guaranteed to be out at least this week and likely a game or two more. Justin Fields and Josh Allen both got banged up in their head-to-head matchup in Week 2, too. While Allen hurt his nose but got back onto the field pretty quickly Fields suffered a concussion that will keep him out of Week 3.
