After last Sunday’s bloodbath, Week 8 of the 2011 NFL season, for the most part, took it easy on the players in regard to serious injuries. However, this is still football, so there were some bumps, bruises and strains of note that could affect lineups in Week 9. Here’s a quick rundown of who will be spending extra time in the trainer’s room over the next few days.

Hakeem Nicks (Giants) – The latest ailment to afflict the Giants wide receiver is a strained hamstring. He’ll undergo an MRI later today to determine the severity.

Ahmad Bradshaw (Giants) – Bradshaw exited Sunday’s win against Miami after aggravating the same foot that has bothered him for years. He was able to return to the game, but should be closely monitored due to his history of foot problems.

Montario Hardesty (Browns) – A calf strain sidelined Hardesty in the first quarter after just two carries for six yards. An MRI will determine how much time, if any, he misses.

Joseph Addai (Colts) – Addai was active on Sunday but didn’t see any action with his bad hamstring. His availability for this Sunday’s matchup versus Atlanta is unknown.

Kevin Kolb (Cardinals) – The Cardinals quarterback was seen leaving the stadium in a walking boot after suffering what could be turf toe. No word yet on how significant it might be.

LaMarr Woodley (Steelers) – A left hamstring injury forced Woodley out of Sunday’s win over the Patriots. He is not expected to play versus Baltimore in Week 9.

Daryl Sharpton (Texans) – The reserve linebacker tore a quad and will miss the remainder of the season.

Mike Pouncey (Dolphins) – Pouncey took a blow to the neck and at one point lost sensation in his legs. He appeared to be fine after the game, but whether or not he misses any time is unclear.

Pacman Jones (Bengals) – Yeah, he still plays, but his season debut was cut short with a pulled right hamstring.

Sean Lee (Cowboys) – The Dallas linebacker sprained his left wrist during Sunday night’s blowout defeat to the Eagles. X-rays were negative.
