NFC West injuries, Week 12: Zac Stacy hurt in win

Everybody won this week in the NFC West, but there are still some losses to be talked about.

The St. Louis Rams kept their season alive with a 42-21 win over the Chicago Bears last Sunday, but lost running back Zac Stacy in the process.

Stacy had to exit in the second half with a head injury and did not return. It is unclear how much time the rookie will miss going forward. With quarterback Sam Bradford already out for the season with a torn ACL, Stacy is all the more important. This season, Stacy has rushed for 624 yards on 4.4 yards per carry.

The Arizona Cardinals enjoyed a terrific week in every way. Not only did they crush the Indianapolis Colts 40-11 and move to 7-4 on the season, but they didn't suffer an injury. The same can be said for the San Francisco 49ers, who trounced the Washington Redskins 27-6 on Monday night.

The Seattle Seahawks were on a bye week, but might have lost Brandon Browner for the season to a substance abuse suspension. Walter Thurmond was also suspended four games for a non-PED violation of NFL policy.
