The first five weeks of the 2021 NFL season has seen a slew of injuries, and it has gotten so bad that it’s tough to keep up with them all.
In Week 5, we saw the New York Giants lose a trio of key players to injury, including running back Saquon Barkely, quarterback Daniel Jones, and wide receiver Kenny Golladay.
