NFL injury notebook: Jags' Fournette (hamstring) exits

Fournette came up holding his right hamstring after being tackled on a short
catch. The team initially designated him questionable to return before ruling
him out in the third quarter.

T.J. Yeldon stepped in as the primary back in Fournette's absence, finishing
with 14 carries for 51 yards, as well as three catches for 18 yards and a
score. Fournette had nine carries for 41 yards plus three receptions for 14
yards.

--The Tennessee Titans sustained a trio of key injuries in their opener
against the Miami Dolphins, with quarterback Marcus Mariota, left tackle
Taylor Lewan and tight end Delanie Walker all going down.

Mariota hurt his elbow on a hit by William Hayes after handing off to Derrick
Henry early in the third quarter. He later returned, before exiting for good
in favor of Blaine Gabbert. Lewan was ruled out with a concussion after taking
a vicious, blind-side hit during an interception return early in the fourth
quarter.

Walker went down with a gruesome injury to his right leg or ankle late in the
fourth quarter after his foot was pinned underneath a defender while he was
tackled. Trainers quickly tended to Walker and put the leg in an air cast
before carting him off the field.

--Houston Texans right tackle Seantrel Henderson was carted off the field in
the second quarter against the New England Patriots and later diagnosed with a
broken left ankle.

Henderson got rolled up on by a few players after Patriots defensive end
Keionta Davis hit quarterback Deshaun Watson from the opposite direction.
Rookie Martinas Rankin, a third-round draft pick who spent most of training
camp on the physically unable to perform list, took over at right tackle.
Cornerback Kevin Johnson also left for the Texans after being diagnosed with a
concussion.

On the Patriots' side, running back Jeremy Hill left with a knee injury after
taking a helmet to the knee in the third quarter. He did not return. Hill had
four carries for 25 yards and one catch for 6 yards before departing.

--Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson left early against the
Saints due to a concussion and did not return.

Jackson had his head slammed to the turf while making a 35-yard catch down the
right sideline midway through the fourth quarter. He finished his day with
five grabs for 146 yards, including 58- and 36-yard touchdowns.

Bucs cornerback Vernon Hargreaves also left and did not return after suffering
a shoulder injury. Tampa Bay wideout Mike Evans left briefly with an apparent
arm injury but returned, finishing with seven catches for 147 yards and a
50-yard score.

--Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen left the team's game against the
Dallas Cowboys in the first quarter with a right foot injury and was ruled
out.

Olsen, who was a late addition to the injury report this week with a back
issue, was active and made two catches for 33 yards before heading to the
locker room at the end of the first quarter.

The 33-year-old spent much of last season on injured reserve after breaking
his right foot, and he aggravated the issue after returning in the second half
of the season.

--Panthers right tackle Daryl Williams was carted off the field midway through
the fourth quarter with an apparent right knee injury.

Williams dislocated his kneecap and tore the medial collateral ligament in his
right knee in July, but he opted for rehab instead of surgery and made a
surprisingly quick return to the field for Week 1. It was unclear if the
Sunday injury was related to the previous issue. Guard Amini Silatolu, who was
returning from meniscus surgery, replaced him at right tackle.

For the Cowboys, defensive end Randy Gregory left the game and was ruled out
with a concussion.

--Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin left the team's game against the
Denver Broncos in the first quarter with a knee injury and was ruled out.

Baldwin got his right knee rolled up on while he was blocking, and trainers
tended to him before he limped off the field. He returned briefly before the
Seahawks deemed him out just after halftime. He did not catch his only target
in the game.

Baldwin, who turns 30 later this month, missed all of the preseason with
soreness in his left knee, telling reporters in late August he was "about 80
to 85 percent" and would probably deal with the issue for the rest of the
season.
