AFC South injury report, Week 11: Wide receivers suffer dings

Darrius Heyward-Bey and Justin Hunter highlighted the biggest injuries in a relatively healthy week for the AFC South.

It was a relatively healthy week for the AFC South teams, as a few dings for receivers around the division were the worst of the injuries.

The biggest name that went down was Darrius Heyward-Bey of the Indianapolis Colts, as Chuck Pagano told reporters after the team's win on Thursday night that he suffered an ankle injury. Stephen Holder of the Indianapolis Star wasn't buying it though, as he believes that Heyward-Bey was simply benched.

Also hurt in the Thursday night matchup was Titans rookie receiver Justin Hunter, who was suffering from concussion-like symptoms after the game. However, head coach Mike Munchak told reporters that it wasn't serious and that Hunter should be ready to go in Week 12.

The Jaguars also lost a receiver in Week 11, as Mike Brown went down with a shoulder injury early in the game and did not return. On Monday, head coach Gus Bradley told reporters that the second-year receiver suffered an AC joint injury and is questionable to return for a Week 12 game against the Houston Texans.

Houston managed to avoid any substantial injuries in Week 11.
