With a collision sport like pro football, there’s no denying that every NFL week is littered with injuries. However, Week 6 was particularly brutal around the league, with both some of the biggest names going down, as well as some of the most unique injuries you’ll ever come across.

Here are the most notable Week 6 NFL injuries, starting with ones that happened pregame in Indianapolis.

While warming up with a resistance band in the locker room, the band, or the apparatus it was attached to, somehow malfunctioned. That led to it snapping back into Richardson’s face, injuring his eye, and fracturing his orbital bone. The injury was so bad that it forced Richardson to go to the hospital, thus missing Indy’s home game versus Arizona, and the mishap will leave him unavailable for multiple weeks.
