Greer went down in the first quarter of the Saints' 23-20 win over the San Francisco 49ers. The 10-year veteran was carted off the field and obviously did not return to action.
The Miami Dolphins center missed Sunday's game altogether with what is being termed a "minor medical issue". It was thought Pouncey would be able to play against the San Diego Chargers but he was ultimately held out of Miami's 20-16 victory.
Welker was knocked out of the Denver Broncos' 27-17 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.The slot receiver left in the fourth quarter with what is believed to be a concussion, after being sandwiched by multiple Chiefs. He will undergo further evaluation to determine his status going forward.
