Coach Pete Carroll said Baldwin suffered a sprained MCL in his right knee. This is after Baldwin's story about a camp with an injury to his left knee. Carroll said he did not have a good idea but Baldwin may be out, but it could be said that he was able to return to the game, albeit briefly.

Doug Marrone Fournette's prognosis Provides its prognosis because it is an injury.
Still, it's hard to see him being full strength for Sunday's game against New England, so T.J. Yeldon and Corey Grant may have to carry the Jaguars' ground game. The Jaguars also have Brandon Wilds on the market. – Michael DiRocco
The Vikings were already running thin at cornerback with Mackensie Alexander's absence due to an ankle injury. That was compounded when Waynes exited the game in the second quarter with a knee injury, which trainers tend to put on their right knee on the sideline. The severity of Waynes' injury is unclear, as long as it can keep him out.
Fortunately, Minnesota was able to rely on Mike Hughes' rookie to move to nickel in the corner of Waynes, where he recorded a pick-six. The Vikings had a lot of moving on the subject, with Jayron Kearse getting reps at nickel, which ended up being of benefit to the goalkeeper at the end of the first half. He also contributed to the Jimmy Garoppolo's first interception and had an important third-down pass breakup. – Courtney Cronin
Henderson to what coach Bill O'Brien called a "significant injury," which is a problem for an offensive line that was already struggling.

Gregory suffered a concussion in the second quarter and did not return.

Hill Burkhead, James White and Sony Michel, left the game in the third quarter after taking a hit on his right knee. The decisiveness with which the Patriots ruled him out for the remainder of the game seems to reflect that the injury is more serious in nature. – Mike Reiss
