Michael Vick's time as an NFL starter might be coming to a close.

Vick has a small tear in his hamstring, an injury suffered in the Pittsburgh Steelers' win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. The injury could keep Vick out of a Week 7 contest with the Kansas City Chiefs.

If quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is unable to return from a sprained medial collateral ligament and bone bruise, Landry Jones would be the likely starter. Jones replaced Vick on Sunday and was 8-of-12 passing for 168 yards and two touchdowns.

Here are the other notable injuries from Week 6 in the NFL:

— Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders has a sprained AC joint, NFL Network reported. The Broncos have a bye in Week 7 before facing the Green Bay Packers in Week 8.

— Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Julius Thomas suffered a rib contusion. Jaguars wide receiver Allen Robinson is being evaluated for a leg injury.

— Steelers left tackle Kelvin Beachum suffered a torn ACL, coach Mike Tomlin said after Sunday's game.

— Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota suffered a sprained MCL and is day-to-day, coach Ken Whisenhunt said.

— San Diego Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen left Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers with a hip injury.

— Broncos outside linebacker Shane Ray suffered a sprained MC against the Cleveland Browns.

— Cardinals tight end Daniel Fells suffered a shoulder injury and was ruled out.
