Dak Prescott and Joe Burrow are the top contenders for the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year honors after bouncing back from injuries that ended their 2020 seasons early.

Harrison Butker hit a pair of fourth-quarter field goals, including the go-ahead 34-yarder with 1:07 left, and the Kansas City Chiefs scrambled their way to a 20-17 comeback win over the New York Giants.

The two-time defending AFC champion Kansas City Chiefs are wallowing at 3-4 and already facing an uphill climb just to reach the playoffs as the New York Giants visit Arrowhead Stadium.

There are big names aplenty among the early-season strains and sprains, or worse. The Giants were without their two most important offensive players for most of a fourth loss in five games to start this season. Baltimore lost two running backs to season-ending knee injuries before the opener, including starter J.K. Dobbins. Cincinnati's Joe Burrow was taken out last week with a throat contusion but is expected to play against winless Detroit. Soft-tissue injuries are usually a concern early because of rules limitations on work in the offseason and training camp.

About a third of the starting quarterbacks have missed time because of injuries, and Richard Sherman’s return to the NFL was hastened by Tampa Bay’s need at cornerback.

It spoiled a day when the Giants retired the jersey of two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning and added his name to the Ring of Honor at MetLife Stadium. It was Barkley's first TD since the final game of the 2019 season. A defensive stop deep in New York territory gave the Falcons the ball at the Giants.

Star running back Saquon Barkley needs to be in some live contact drills if is to play in the New York Giants' season opener in less than three weeks, coach Joe Judge said. Barkley, who had a major knee injury early last season, has not practiced at full speed since training camp late last month. “I think every player has to have physical contact and experience the hits they’re going to take in a game before it becomes live, full speed in the regular season,” Judge said.

The Giants planned to hit some golf balls as a team bonding exercise.

(AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast, File)ARLINGTON, Texas – From the season-altering to the bizarre, injuries are playing their traditionally significant role in the NFL. Brown also recently went back on the COVID-19 list, a newcomer among potential ailments with the NFL playing during a pandemic. Few teams have had the volume of injuries that have hit defending NFC champion San Francisco.

The New York Jets and Giants are both 0-4 for the first time since 1976, and victories might be tough to come by this season.

Roethlisberger, who missed the final 14 games last season after elbow surgery, threw for three scores in a 26-16 win over the New York Giants at an empty and eerie MetLife Stadium on Monday night. The defense, while not quite on the level of the famed Steel Curtain, was plenty stingy and physical. It not only held Saquon Barkley to 6 yards on 15 carries, it also swarmed him in the backfield nearly all night. Even though the Pittsburgh defense broke down as the Giants marched 87 yards on 19 plays in just under nine minutes in the third quarter, it still came up with a major stop. Roethlisberger then took Pittsburgh 62 yards for the field goal and a 19-10 lead.

The National Football League has released the new terms for its new collective bargaining agreement proposal, including pay increases and a larger roster size for practice players, according to terms released on the league's website NFL.com. Under the new terms, players will receive 47% of league revenue, which the Wall Street Journal reported amounted to roughly $16 billion over the last year. Teams will also have the ability to add 14 players to their practice squad, up from 12, with an increase in pay $10,500 per week, up from $8,000 in the 2019 season.
