"Matthew Stafford's right index finger has been under the microscope -- and X-ray machine -- since his four-interception meltdown in Sunday's blowout loss to the Bears.

And while some have dismissed the fractured finger as another strike against an injury-prone quarterback, Stafford isn't the only passer playing hurt in the always dangerous NFL.

Last week, Houston Matt Schaub suffered a Lisfranc injury that could end his season, Kansas City's Matt Cassel required surgery on his throwing hand, Philadelphia's Michael Vick suffered two broken ribs and is expected to miss Sunday's game against the Giants, and Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger suffered a broken right thumb."
