NFL news, injury updates: Lions' Aidan Hutchinson undergoes surgery; Jaguars and Seahawks make first trade of 2024 regular season

The NFL Week 6 injury report is headlined by several young stars who went down on Sunday and one who could have a big impact on the NFL's toughest league.

For the first time since the current divisional format was introduced in 2002, four teams in the same division have at least four wins in a six-week period. That division is the NFC North, home of the Detroit Lions, who are dealing with a serious injury following their 47-9 win over the Cowboys. Speaking of the Cowboys, all is not well in Dallas – at least not when the team is playing at home and giving up almost 40 points per game.

Here's a look at some of the NFL's top stories from Week 6.

The Lions' pass-rushing specialist leads the NFL with 6.5 sacks but was carted off the field Sunday in Dallas with a confirmed broken tibia. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, he underwent surgery in Dallas and is expected to miss the remainder of the 2024 season. Hutchinson had 11.5 sacks in 2023 and made his first Pro Bowl last season.

If you were to just look at the Dallas Cowboys' away results this year, you would find a 3-0 team that has some cleaning up to do, but was still able to pick up a few close wins or even losses over the 4-2 Steelers in Pittsburgh. But at home, the Cowboys were hardly competitive and were left almost exclusively on home soil for all but two quarters. The Cowboys have given up 119 points at home in three games this season – 39.7 points per game.

After the worst home loss of the Jerry Jones era – coincidentally on his 82nd birthday – Jones said he was not considering a coaching change, even as questions about Mike McCarthy continued to arise. The Cowboys are off in Week 7 and will play their next two games on the road.

One of the NFL's most exciting rookies stumbled and had to be held off the field during the Arizona Cardinals' 34-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Harrison hadn't caught a pass when he was sidelined with a concussion, but he has four touchdown receptions and 279 receiving yards in the first six games of his rookie season.

  • Titans RB Tyjae Spears week in and week out

    Titans head coach Brian Callahan told reporters that running back Tyjae Spears has been dealing with a week-to-week hamstring injury. If Spears misses time, it likely means he will be a workhorse for starting running back Tony Pollard, who has posted 421 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns in five games this season since being traded from the Cowboys to the Titans will be. Spears has totaled 190 yards and one touchdown as Pollard's backup.

  • Miami HC Mike McDaniel says he expects QB Tua Tagovailoa to return in 2024

    Good news for the Miami Dolphins: Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will likely return to the field at some point this calendar year, head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters on Monday. Tagovailoa, who suffered a concussion on September 15 against the Buffalo Bills, was placed on the injured list two days later.

    Tagovailoa is eligible to return to practice on Oct. 23 after his IR stay ends, but McDaniel said a return this week is unlikely.

    “As far as the schedule goes, I know he’s not playing this week,” McDaniel said in a news conference. “I do expect to see him playing football in 2024, but where exactly that is, we will let the process continue.”

    “We look forward to working with the Jets to resolve the issue as quickly as possible,” Rosenhaus told ESPN’s Adam Schefter. “Haason wants to remain a New York Jet for years to come and our goal is to make that happen.”
