Week 10 Injuries: Fitzgerald leaves in 1st half, comes back, breaks records

The Arizona Cardinals were dealt what they probably thought was a serious blow to their lineup when Larry Fitzgerald left Sunday's game against the San Fransisco 49ers.

Fitzgerald left the game late in the first half after being flipped and landing on his neck following a 7-yard catch. He went to the locker room with a Cardinals trainer just before halftime but returned in the third quarter.

In the game, Fitzgerald became the 12th receiver in NFL history to reach 14,000 receiving yards. He also passed James Lofton for 11th all-time. He is now the third-youngest player to reach the 14,000 yard milestone.

Fitzgerald also passed Terrell Owens to move into 6th on the NFL's all-time catch list.

Other Key Injuries: Jordan Howard (RB, CHI), Eric Kendricks (LB, MIN), Xavier Rhodes (CB, MIN), Mario Williams (DE, MIA), Phillip Gaines (CB, KC), Kyle Long (G, CHI), Jake Long (LT, MIN).
