Injuries pile up in the NFL from week 2. Who is hurt and what to do...

Jamaal Charles, KC, RB suffered a torn ACL and is out for the season-look to add Thomas Jones and Dexter McCluster. I like McCluster more but TJ will be the main guy when KC is competitive in games. Ok that may not be much more than the 1st quarter.
Aaron Hernandez, TE, NE out for 1-2 weeks. No waiver wire to pick up as Rob Gronkowski should have been grabbed by now and will see more work in Aaron absense.

Michael Vick, QB, PHI-concussed out of the week 2 game and may be out for week 3. If so Mike Kafka gets the start but is only a one week filler.

Miles Austin, WR, DAL pulled his hammy again and may sit thru Cowboys week 5 bye. Watch this closley. Ken Ogletree would benefit from any lost time along with TE Jason Witten
Tony Romo, QB, DAL left the game (but reentered) after fractured ribs. We will know more soon.
Ben Roethlisberger, QB, PIT missed a snap with a left leg injury.
Arian Foster, RB, HOU reinjured his hammy and did not play in the 2nd half of the HOU game. If you have Ben Tate hold on to him!
Felix Jones, RB, DAL suffered a separated right shoulder during the game, he tried to play through it but eventually left due to the pain. Rumors are he will try and play week 3. I am dubious of his productivity. Grab DeMarco Murray and/or Tashard Choice off the waiver wire. 
Braylon Edwards, WR, SF suffered a knee injury. With Crabtree out too look to Josh Morgan and Delanie Walker to fill some gaps there.
Malcolm Floyd, WR, SD left with a groin injury
Eddie Royal, WR, DEN left with a groin injury
Jordan Shipley, WR, CIN was on crutches after the game. This is never good and could be season ending.
Marcus Easley, WR, BUF is out for season with heart ailment.
Roscoe Parrish, WR, BUF had a left ankle injury.
Brandon Lloyd, Sidney Rice, Demaryious Thomas, Roy Willaims, DHB, Jason Hill, Louis Murphy, Jacoby Ford and Michael Crabtree are all WRs who did not play week 2.

Jason Witten, TE, DAL bruised his ribs but played.

What a mess. I blame no OTA's for this.
