The NFL<\/strong> week four injury update once again has some star players that have ended up on the injury list. Including two franchise quarterbacks in\u00a0Cam Newton<\/a><\/strong> and\u00a0Carson Palmer<\/a><\/strong> who both suffered concussions in their teams week four losses. Week four also saw another season-ending injury, this time to NaVorro Bowman<\/a><\/strong> of the\u00a0San Francisco 49ers.\u00a0<\/strong>Below is a round up of some of the other injuries that took place in week four of NFL season.<\/p>\n

NFL Week Four Injury Update<\/h2>\n

Arizona Cardinals – Carson Palmer<\/a><\/h3>\n

Quarterback Carson Palmer<\/a> suffered a concussion during the Arizona Cardinals week four loss to the\u00a0Los Angeles Rams.\u00a0<\/strong>On Monday, however, head coach\u00a0Bruce Arians<\/strong> said that he’s “more optimistic” about Palmer being cleared to play by Thursday when they take on the San Francisco 49ers. If Palmer isn’t cleared, or is unable to go, then backup quarterback Drew Stanton<\/a><\/strong> would get the start.<\/p>\n

Carolina Panthers – Cam Newton<\/a><\/h3>\n

The status for Panthers quarterback Cam Newton<\/a> heading into Monday Night’s game with their divisional rivals, the\u00a0Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/strong>, is in question. Newton suffered a concussion in the Panthers 48-33 loss to the Atlanta Falcons\u00a0<\/strong>on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Newton, who’s been taking big shots all season, particularly to the head, took another one at the goal line by Falcons linebacker\u00a0Deion Jones<\/a>,\u00a0<\/strong>in which Newton scored. The Panthers loss dropped the 2015\u00a0NFC Champions\u00a0<\/strong>to 1-3 on the young season, making Monday Night’s game with the Buccaneers an important one. If Newton is unable to play, then backup quarterback\u00a0Derek Anderson<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>would get the start.<\/p>\n

San Francisco 49ers – NaVarro Bowman<\/h3>\n

San Francisco’s linebacker, NaVarro Bowman, suffered a season-ending Achilles injury during their week four loss to the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys<\/strong>. This is Bowman’s second career-threatening injury he has suffered. Back in 2013, the four-time\u00a0All Pro<\/strong> tore his ACL and MCL during the\u00a0NFC Championship<\/strong>\u00a0game, forcing him to miss the entire 2014 NFL season.<\/p>\n

Through the first four games of the season, Bowman had 35 tackles, one sack, three passes defended, one interception and one forced fumble. His presence on the field will be sorely missed.<\/p>\n

New York Jets – Derrelle Revis<\/h3>\n

The Jets future\u00a0Hall of Fame<\/strong> cornerback, Derrelle Revis, has what is being called a mild hamstring strain, and his availability for Sunday’s game against the\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers<\/strong> is in question.<\/p>\n

The Jets head coach,\u00a0Todd Bowles<\/a><\/strong>, said Revis had an MRI, which revealed the strain, but according to Revis, he says he feels a little better than he did after the game. With\u00a0Ben Roethlisberger<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>coming off a five touchdown performance against the\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs<\/strong>, the Jets could sure use Revis’ services come Sunday.<\/p>\n

Denver Broncos – Trevor Siemian<\/a><\/h3>\n

Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian<\/a> suffered a sprained AC joint in his non-throwing (left) shoulder during their win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Siemian injured his shoulder when he was slammed to the turf on a sack by Buccaneers defensive tackle\u00a0Clinton McDonald<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Paxton Lynch<\/a><\/strong>, the Broncos first-round pick in this year’s draft, came in relief of Siemian, and helped to guide Denver to their victory over Tampa Bay. But even with Lynch’s solid play, and Siemian listed as day-to-day, head coach\u00a0Gary Kubiak<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>expects Siemian to play Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons.<\/p>\n

New York Jets – Matt Forte<\/a><\/h3>\n

According to multiple reports, Jets running back Matt Forte<\/a> was escorted to the x-ray room following the Jets 27-17 loss to the\u00a0Seattle Seahawks<\/strong> on Sunday. It’s not clear whether Forte injured his hamstring, or aggravated an old knee injury. As of now, head coach Todd Bowles<\/a> has no information regarding Forte’s status.<\/p>\n
