Injuries Push QBs Off Field as NFL Preseason Ends
Injuries plagued quarterbacks across teams during the final weekend of the exhibition season. Fran Tarkenton, Bob Griese, Bert Jones, Ken Anderson, and David Whitehurst were among those sidelined or uncertain for weeks. Griese may miss half the season after a torn knee, while Jones and Anderson face weeks out with shoulder and finger injuries. Several teams shifted backups to the foray, with New England and Buffalo finishing the preseason unbeaten and winless respectively.
