Week 2 infirmary report

Player What ails him When he'll be back
Jamal Anderson
Running back
Falcons
Injured his right knee midway through the first quarter of the Falcons' 24-7 loss at Dallas on Monday night. Anderson has a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season, coach Dan Reeves said Tuesday.
John Mobley
Linebacker
Broncos
Suffered a torn ACL in his right knee in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. Coach Mike Shanahan said Mobley is out for the rest of the season.
Kimble Anders
Running back
Chiefs
Anders rushed for a career-high 142 yards before he had to leave the game with an injury to his left Achilles tendon. Anders had surgery Monday and is out for the season.
Jeff Blake
Quarterback
Bengals
Sprained his passing shoulder when he was hit by linebacker Junior Seau in the second quarter of the Chargers' 34-7 victory over the Bengals. Blake gingerly played catch on the sideline at the start of the second half, but did not return. Blake is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Carolina, but he practiced Friday and is expected to play.
Mark Chmura
Tight end
Packers
Suffered a neck stinger in the second quarter of the Packers' 23-15 loss to the Lions. Chmura missed the Packers' entire preseason while rehabilitating a neck injury. Will miss week's game against Minnesota because of a neck stinger and slight concussion, a Packers spokeswoman said Wednesday.
Ricky Williams
Running back
Saints
After being hampered by ankle problems, Williams apparently suffered a sprained right elbow on a block by Ken Norton Jr. after an interception. The elbow was in a brace after the game. The Saints are off next week, giving Williams some much-needed time to rest his elbow and left ankle.
Kevin Faulk
Running back
Patriots
Twisted his right ankle in the third quarter of the Patriots' 31-28 victory over the Colts. Faulk is listed as day-to-day, a Patriots spokesman said.
Hugh Douglas
Defensive end
Eagles
Sprained his right knee during the Eagles' 19-5 loss to the Bucs. Douglas will miss four to six weeks after tests Monday revealed a partially torn MCL.
Doug Pederson
Quarterback
Eagles
Suffered a sprained right shoulder. He was replaced by Donovan McNabb in the second half of the Eagles' 19-5 loss to the Bucs. He is day-to-day.
Brent Bartholomew Punter

Suffered an injury to his right knee while making a tackle during the Dolphins' 19-16 victory over the Cardinals. Bartholomew is likely out for the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee
Mark Dixon
Right guard
Dolphins
Strained his groin during the Dolphins' victory over the Cardinals. The Dolphins have a bye next week.
Fred Taylor
Running back
Jaguars
Taylor, who was hampered by a sore left foot during practice all week, left in the first quarter with what the team called a slightly pulled left hamstring. Coach Tom Coughlin says the injury does not appear serious, but Taylor did not practice again this week and his availability will be a game-time decision.
Jermaine Lewis
Wide receiver
Ravens
Lewis suffered a contusion to the spine late in the Ravens' 23-20 loss to the Steelers. Status uncertain for next week's game against Cleveland.
Bryant Westbrook
Cornerback
