Nov. 20 (UPI) -- Running backs Aaron Jones, Kenneth Walker and De'Von Achane were among the key players injured in Week 11 of the 2023 NFL season.

Players injured in Sunday's games will be further evaluated to determine the extent of their injuries and potential timelines to return.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews, who were injured Thursday, are expected to miss the rest of the season.

Jones sustained a knee injury and was helped off the field in the second quarter of the Green Bay Packers' win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday in Green Bay, Wis.

The veteran running back said he initially thought he tore his ACL, but Packers coach Matt LaFleur later told reporters that he did not think the injury will require long-term care.

Jones totaled 17 yards from scrimmage on five touches in the win. Packers second-string running back A.J. Dillon totaled 61 yards from scrimmage on 18 touches. Running back Emmanuel Wilson also left the game early because of a shoulder injury.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane limped off the field in the first quarter of a 20-13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The rookie, who returned from an absence triggered by a knee injury, aggravated the same knee Sunday in Miami Gardens, Fla.

Achane totaled 5 yards from scrimmage on five touches before his exit.

Herbert totaled 41 yards from scrimmage on 18 touches. Johnson ran for 30 yards on six touches. Homer did not log a carry or a catch.
