ProFootballDoc: Thursday Night Injuries and Week 5 Projections

Lots of injuries in Week 5 so that should provide more health advantages to keep our 67% (12-6-2) record against the spread going.

Which quarterbacks will play thru his ankle injury: Mac Jones, Daniel Jones or Zach Wilson? Our order for likelihood of play and production are Wilson > D Jones > M Jones.

For tonight's game, Jonathan Taylor is ruled out as expected and Javonte Williams season is over. No Shaq Leonard or Randy Gregory either. Russell Wilson will play thru his throwing shoulder injury.

IND +3.5 @ DEN

Good luck and let's enjoy the start of NFL Week 5.
