Several key players suffered injuries on the first Sunday of the NFL season, Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott among them.
But he wasn't the only one. Here's a look at some of the other notable names.
Godwin exits Sunday night game
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin left Sunday night's game against the Dallas Cowboys with a hamstring injury and did not return.
Godwin was making a return to action for the first time in eight months due to a torn ACL. Godwin left the game during the second quarter after making a low catch and coming up limping.
The Buccaneers also lost left tackle Donovan Smith due to an elbow injury.
Steelers lose Watt, Harris
While the Pittsburgh Steelers posted a dramatic win over the Cincinnati Bengals in overtime, they lost star linebacker T.J. Watt (pectoral) and running back Najee Harris (foot) to injuries late in the contest.
The Steelers didn't provide many details on Watt's status after the game. Coach Mike Tomlin said only that "T.J. has been evaluated with an upper-body injury."
The 27-year-old Watt got hurt in the waning minutes of regulation. He bull-rushed his way past Cincinnati right tackle La'el Collins _ ripping Collins' helmet off in the process, a penalty that gave the Bengals a first down _ and then jumped on top of Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. Burrow ducked under Watt and managed to get the ball away, and Watt's left arm went motionless as Burrow eluded his grasp.
Watt was greeted by Dr. James Bradley, the team physician, as he made his way off the field. He went straight to the locker room and did not return. Pittsburgh later ended a three-game losing streak to the Bengals on the final play of overtime.
The three-time All-Pro did not address reporters postgame, though he was in the locker room. He is expected to undergo further testing and evaluation on Monday.
"I'm not going to speculate what's going and how bad the injury is,'' defensive tackle Cam Heyward said. "But you know having T.J. out there definitely benefits us. He's a leader. He's a defensive player here. However long it takes, other guys are going to step up.''
One of the NFL's elite edge rushers, Watt was at his disruptive best in Cincinnati, sacking Burrow once and picking off a pass in the first quarter that set up Mitch Trubisky's 2-yard TD pass to Najee Harris to give Pittsburgh a 17-3 lead.
Losing Watt would be a huge blow to the Steelers, who will have to rely on their defence while trying to get their offence on track. Watt tied the NFL single-season sacks record with 22 1/2 last season despite missing two games.
If Watt tore his pectoral muscle, he likely would miss extended time and potentially the season. His older brother J.J. Watt tore a pec in the middle of the 2019 season while playing for Texas and missed two months. Heyward, his longtime teammate, missed the second half of the 2016 season after tearing a pec, and former Steeler defensive end Stephon Tuitt missed the final 10 games of the 2019 season after tearing a pec in a win over the Chargers.
The Steelers are thin behind Watt at outside linebacker. Alex Highsmith -- who also left the game on Sunday with an injury -- is the only other outside linebacker on the roster who has spent extended time in Pittsburgh.
However, Mike Giardi of NFL Network reports Harris' injury is not expected to be long-term.
Mac Jones hurts back
Meanwhile, the New England Patriots announced after a 20-7 loss to the Miami Dolphins that quarterback Mac Jones would not talk to reporters because he suffered a back injury.
Keenan Allen questionable for Week 2
In a later game, Los Angeles Chargers receiver Keenan Allen exited with a hamstring injury against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Allen got hurt in the second quarter. He had four catches on four targets from Justin Herbert for 66 yards before his injury, including a 42-yard gain.
The five-time Pro Bowl selection has been one of the NFL's most productive receivers over the past half-decade. He had 106 catches for 1,138 yards and six touchdowns last season.
DeAndre Carter stepped into the spot usually occupied by Allen in the Chargers' offense, and the veteran newcomer made three catches for 64 yards and a score.
