Still no word on the severity of Wes Welker’s knee injury. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie was the most significant IDP injury, as he was carted off the field early in the game. DeAngelo Williams sat again, and Jonathan Stewart continues to shine despite leaving early after re-aggravating his Achilles. Antrolle Rolle, Dwight Freeney, Laurence Maroney, Darren Sharper, Eric Weddle, and Vincent Jackson were all inactive in their meaningless games. Let’s take a look at all of the key NFL Week 17 injuries (courtesy of cbs; organized by keeperleaguegm.com):
