NFL Injury Analysis – AFC
Buffalo: Losing CB Tre'Davious White for the entire season was bad enough, but DL DaQuan Jones and LB Matt Milano are also out, and Buffalo's defense has suffered. The pass D% is close at 70% and the run defense is bottom three, allowing 5.2 per carry.
Milano will not be back until late December. Look for higher scoring games vs. teams not sporting rookie QB's. Also, Tight End Dawson Knox (wrist surgery) will be out of action, but rookie Dalton Kincaid had a 50-50 target rate with Knox, and will likely just see an increased workload.
Cleveland: The big news is QB Watson's injury. Interestingly enough, he was just 1-5 passing when he went out of the game, and Cleveland was in no rush to put him back in.
Losing RB Jerome Ford could actually impact the offense more than losing Watson. No other RB on the team can match his yards-per-carry impact. Remember, Nick Chubb is already gone for the year.
Monitor Ford's status carefully. Cleveland will be much more one-dimensional without Ford in the lineup.
Jacksonville: WR Zay Jones has missed the last two games, and four games overall. This is only a minor setback for the Jags, but his return to full health would make the pass-catching unit even better.
