We are only in Week 5 of the 2021 NFL regular season and the injuries seem to be piling up at an all-time high.
What is really crazy is that so many key players seem to be getting injured early on in the season.
On Monday, Peter King released his Week 5 All-Injured team and as you can see below, it is eye-opening. (Note: Romeo Okwara should probably be on this team, also)
