For example, Lancs will have Livingstone, Gleeson and Mahmood back next week, Surrey will have Roy and Curran (and Topley, if fit), and Hants will have Vince and Dawson.
I guess in that respect, Yorks are the stand-out, because they still managed to win even without Bairstow and Willey.

Yes, advice from the medics no doubt which it would be folly to ignore.
It would have been nice if our all Sunderland born attack could have won a trophy honouring a Sunderland born bowler but that looks unlikely now.
