Washington, D.C. – A significant number of NFL players have been ruled out or are questionable for their teams in Week 7, impacting multiple matchups across the league. Key injuries have emerged as teams prepare for crucial games on Sunday and Monday night.
The Washington Commanders have announced that wide receiver Deebo Samuel will not feature in their upcoming game against the Dallas Cowboys due to a heel injury. In addition, fellow wide receiver Terry McLaurin has also been ruled out with a quadriceps injury, further complicating the Commanders’ offensive strategies.
Over in Arizona, the Cardinals will be without quarterback Kyler Murray, who is sidelined with a foot injury. In his place, Jacoby Brissett is set to take the starting role in their home game against the Green Bay Packers.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers face uncertainty as wide receivers Mike Evans and Emeka Egbuka are both officially listed as questionable due to hamstring issues ahead of their Monday night clash with the Detroit Lions.
For the San Francisco 49ers, quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) and wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) have been ruled out for their Sunday game against the Atlanta Falcons. However, tight end George Kittle is expected to make a return to the lineup after dealing with a hamstring problem.
On the defensive side for the Cowboys, cornerback Trevon Diggs will not participate in the upcoming game due to a concussion he sustained in a non-football related accident at home.
In Los Angeles, the Rams will be missing wide receiver Puka Nacua due to an ankle injury, while the Jacksonville Jaguars will not have linebacker Devin Lloyd (calf) and linebacker Ventrell Miller (shoulder) in their London matchup against the Rams.
Kansas City Chiefs left tackle Josh Simmons is also absent from the team for personal reasons and will not play this week, adding to the team’s lineup challenges.
The Atlanta Falcons will miss rookie defensive linemen Walker and Bowman, both sidelined with soft tissue injuries. Meanwhile, the Chicago Bears’ running back Chuba Hubbard practiced fully on Friday and carries no injury designation ahead of their game.
The New England Patriots have listed tight end David Njoku as a non-participant in practice due to a knee injury, further limiting their offensive options going into Week 7.
In addition, Colts cornerback Charvarius Ward will be out after suffering his second concussion of the season during warm-ups last week. The Green Bay Packers have seven players listed as questionable, including running back Josh Jacobs, creating further uncertainty as they prepare to face the Cardinals.
Positive updates include the New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson, who is not listed on the injury report and is expected to play. The Baltimore Ravens will be without wide receiver Calvin Ridley, who has officially been ruled out due to a hamstring injury.
Finally, the Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Khalil Mack has had his practice window opened but remains limited with an elbow issue. Additionally, both Dodson and Duck practiced fully for the Miami Dolphins despite being listed as questionable, potentially bolstering their defense.
As the league continues to navigate injury concerns, teams must adapt quickly with the changing dynamics of their rosters this week.
