Eagles CB Darby injures ankle

-

The Eagles lost cornerback Ronald Darby to what looked like a serious right ankle injury Sunday. Darby’s ankle bent the wrong way as he was running in coverage, and he was carted off.

Coach Doug Pederson said Darby would be evaluated when the team returns to Philadelph­ia.

Kicker Caleb Sturgis, who made three field goals, was injured late, which led Pederson to go for two after the Eagles’ final touchdown.

Lions: Punter Kasey Redfern’s NFL debut didn’t last long and his season may be over after he had what coach Jim Caldwell described as a significan­t knee injury. Placekicke­r Matt Prater punted the next four times, marking the first time he has done that since he was a junior at Central Florida.

Ravens: Running back Danny Woodhead injured his left hamstring and didn’t return, and linebacker Za’Darius Smith hurt his left knee and was helped off.

Bengals: Guard Trey Hopkins hurt his left knee late and didn’t return, and defensive end Michael Johnson suffered a concussion.

Texans: Linebacker Brian Cushing, tight ends Ryan Griffin and C.J. Fiedorowic­z and receiver Bruce Ellington all had concussion­s.

Jaguars: Receiver Allen Robinson injured his left knee and didn’t return.

Cardinals: Running back David Johnson left with a wrist injury, and there was no update on his condition, and left tackle D. J. Humphries left with a knee injury.

Jets: Tight end Eric Tomlinson went out after hurting an elbow.

Bills: Cornerback E.J. Gaines went out after hurting his left shoulder on a tackle.

Etc.: Colin Kaepernick’s protest movement rolled on as his fraternity marched in Detroit and players around the NFL sat or knelt during the national anthem. The quarterbac­k remains unsigned after opting out of his contract with the 49ers. His supporters believe he’s being punished for protesting police brutality. San Francisco safety Eric Reid kneeled for the anthem with several teammates standing around him.
