News & Injuries

ARIZONA CARDINALS
RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle), OL Jon Gaines II (knee), DL Walter Nolen III (ankle) and S Andrew Wingard (knee) are OUT. S Budda Baker (groin/illness), DL Darius Robinson (back), CB Max Melton (knee) and reserve QB Carson Beck (back) are QUESTIONABLE. Arizona has uncertainty at several levels of its defense.

ATLANTA FALCONS
RB Brian Robinson (hamstring), LB Divine Deablo (forearm), OT Michael Jerrell (biceps) and DB Billy Bowman Jr. (hamstring) are OUT. QUESTIONABLE: CB A.J. Terrell (groin), CB Avieon Terrell (back), CB C.J. Henderson (groin), DT Gervon Dexter (hamstring), DE Samson Ebukam (hamstring), DE Za’Darius Smith (neck), LB Kendal Daniels (neck), OT Cameron Williams (ankle), WR Beaux Collins (hip) and WR Olamide Zaccheaus (shoulder). The defensive absences and uncertainty are the main concern.

BALTIMORE RAVENS
QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) remains QUESTIONABLE after limited practices throughout the week. His availability and mobility remain unresolved. OLB Tavius Robinson (torn pectoral) is out for the season, and S Jaylinn Hawkins (knee) is OUT this week. CB T.J. Tampa Jr. (knee) is DOUBTFUL; DT Broderick Washington (ankle) is QUESTIONABLE.

BUFFALO BILLS
BYE WEEK. WR DJ Moore (shoulder) and DT Ed Oliver (knee) both missed Buffalo’s last game. Their recovery remains worth following before Week 8; there is no Week 7 game designation.

CAROLINA PANTHERS
OLB Jaelan Phillips (hamstring) and OLB Thomas Incoom (calf) are OUT. OT Monroe Freeling (knee) and LB Bam Martin-Scott (hamstring) are QUESTIONABLE despite full practice participation. The edge-rushing absences are confirmed; Freeling’s status remains important for pass protection.

CHICAGO BEARS
Chicago already played Thursday. Friday’s major development: TE Cole Kmet suffered a season-ending knee injury and was placed on injured reserve. That removes a receiving and blocking option going forward.

CINCINNATI BENGALS
Cincinnati issued no game-status injury designations on its final Friday report. There are no new questionable, doubtful or out designations for this matchup.

CLEVELAND BROWNS
CB Denzel Ward (hand), S Grant Delpit (concussion/shoulder), LB Quincy Williams (neck) and RB Dylan Sampson (knee) are QUESTIONABLE. G Teven Jenkins (back) and DT Mike Hall Jr. (ankle) are OUT. Ward was added Friday, making the secondary a significant late-week watch.

DALLAS COWBOYS
MONDAY GAME — final designations come Saturday. WR/returner KaVontae Turpin (ribs), OT Drew Shelton (hamstring) and LB Dee Winters (calf) did not practice Friday. OT Broderick Jones (wrist) and S P.J. Locke (foot) were limited. These are practice statuses, not final rulings.

DENVER BRONCOS
S Talanoa Hufanga (ankle), OLB Jonah Elliss (ankle) and RB Tyler Badie (thumb) are OUT. CB Patrick Surtain II (ankle) and RB Jonah Coleman (ankle) are QUESTIONABLE. Coleman also requires activation to play. Surtain’s availability is the biggest remaining defensive question with Hufanga already unavailable.

DETROIT LIONS
C Cade Mays (wrist) and S Brian Branch (Achilles) are QUESTIONABLE while working toward returns from reserve lists. Both are expected to be activated and play, but activation and availability still need confirmation. Branch’s workload could also be managed.

GREEN BAY PACKERS
LB Zaire Franklin (shin) is OUT after a Thursday practice injury. G Aaron Banks (knee/toe), CB Benjamin St-Juste (hamstring), DT Jordon Riley (Achilles) and WR Bo Melton (back) are QUESTIONABLE. Franklin’s absence affects the middle of the defense; Banks is the main offensive-line watch.

HOUSTON TEXANS
RB David Montgomery (groin), OT Blake Fisher (thumb), S Reed Blankenship (concussion/hand) and S Jalen Pitre (shoulder) are OUT. WR Tank Dell (knee) remains QUESTIONABLE despite three full practices and still needs his return finalized. Missing both safeties is the biggest defensive concern.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
TE Tyler Warren (groin), CB Sauce Gardner (calf) and WR Anthony Gould (concussion) are OUT. LB CJ Allen (ankle), LB Bryce Boettcher (groin), CB Justin Walley (knee) and P Rigoberto Sanchez (right foot) are QUESTIONABLE. Warren and Gardner are major losses on opposite sides of the ball; Sanchez’s status also matters for field position.

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
BYE WEEK. LT Anton Harrison is out for the season after a torn right ACL was discovered during Thursday’s surgery. This is a lasting pass-protection loss, not an injury the bye week can resolve.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
WR Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee), RT Jaylon Moore (concussion) and RB Brashard Smith (hamstring) are OUT. LT Josh Simmons (back) is on injured reserve, leaving Kansas City without both starting tackles. CB L’Jarius Sneed (knee) and LB Cooper McDonald (knee) are QUESTIONABLE; McDonald requires activation. Protection and receiver availability are the main offensive concerns.

LAS VEGAS RAIDERS
RB Mike Washington Jr. (foot/back) is QUESTIONABLE after missing Thursday and Friday practices. The coaching staff expects him to play, but that is not a confirmed active designation. WR Dont’e Thornton Jr. (hamstring) and TE Carter Runyon (foot) are OUT.

LOS ANGELES CHARGERS
BYE WEEK. WR Ladd McConkey suffered a concussion in the October 18 game against Kansas City. His clearance must be verified when Los Angeles resumes game-week reporting; there is no Week 7 game designation.

LOS ANGELES RAMS
WR Puka Nacua (calf) is QUESTIONABLE after getting hurt Thursday and missing Friday’s practice. CB Trent McDuffie (groin) is also QUESTIONABLE after missing practice all week. ILB Nate Landman (concussion) is OUT. With WR Davante Adams already on injured reserve with a hamstring rupture, Nacua’s status carries added importance for the passing game.

MIAMI DOLPHINS
CB Reese Taylor (quadriceps) is OUT. EDGE Rob Beal Jr. (hamstring) is DOUBTFUL. LB Willie Gay (illness) and S Kyle Louis (knee) are QUESTIONABLE. The remaining uncertainty is concentrated in defensive depth.

MINNESOTA VIKINGS
RB Jordan Mason (thumb) is QUESTIONABLE as he works toward a return from injured reserve. He still needs activation, and a return would not automatically guarantee his normal workload.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
New England already played Thursday. G Alijah Vera-Tucker (hamstring) and G Mike Onwenu (ankle) are on injured reserve. The Patriots used Walter Rouse and Matt Pryor at guard, while RT Morgan Moses played through a foot issue. The offensive-line injury cluster remains important heading into the next game.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
G Cesar Ruiz (knee) is QUESTIONABLE after returning to limited work Friday following two missed practices. DT Nathan Shepherd (illness) is also QUESTIONABLE after missing Friday. Ruiz is the main protection and interior run-blocking concern.

NEW YORK GIANTS
LB Tremaine Edmunds (shoulder) and CB Greg Newsome II (concussion) are OUT. TE Theo Johnson (neck) is DOUBTFUL. QUESTIONABLE: CB Paulson Adebo (knee), OT Jermaine Eluemunor (calf), S Jevón Holland (concussion), OT Marcus Mbow (knee) and S Tyler Nubin (neck). The secondary has multiple availability questions, with additional uncertainty at tackle and tight end.

NEW YORK JETS
RB Breece Hall (quadriceps), RB Kene Nwangwu (knee) and OL Dylan Parham (knee) are QUESTIONABLE. LB Kiko Mauigoa (quadriceps), OL Max Mitchell (concussion) and EDGE Joseph Ossai (ankle) are OUT. Hall was limited Friday; neither his availability nor his normal workload is confirmed.

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
MONDAY GAME — final designations come Saturday. WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring), WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle), TE Dallas Goedert (knee), OLB Jonathan Greenard (ankle), OLB Nolan Smith (concussion) and DB Michael Carter (abdomen) did not practice Friday. RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring), G Landon Dickerson (knee/pectoral), OLB Jalyx Hunt (knee/ankle), OLB A.J. Epenesa (back) and OL Tyler Steen (shoulder) were limited. Receiving options, Barkley and the pass rush all need Saturday follow-up.

PITTSBURGH STEELERS
WR Ben Skowronek (calf) and CB Brandin Echols (hamstring) are OUT. RB Rico Dowdle (knee) and S DeShon Elliott (knee) are QUESTIONABLE; Elliott also requires activation. Friday’s participation levels were estimates after weather disrupted practice.

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
WR Mike Evans (ribs/Achilles), WR Deebo Samuel (hamstring), DE Nick Bosa (knee/calf), LB Luke Gifford (groin), LB Garret Wallow (hamstring) and S Marques Sigle (ankle) are OUT. WR Christian Kirk (calf), CB Upton Stout (shoulder) and DB Siran Neal (knee) are QUESTIONABLE. Kirk needs activation. The receiver losses and Bosa’s absence are the largest matchup concerns.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
RB Zach Charbonnet (knee), LB Drake Thomas (ankle) and LB Chazz Surratt (calf) are OUT. S Nick Emmanwori (hip), OLB Uchenna Nwosu (hip), OLB DeMarcus Lawrence (knee), OLB Connor O’Toole (hamstring) and backup QB Drew Lock (right elbow) are QUESTIONABLE. Emmanwori was added Friday; the defensive availability questions deserve attention before kickoff.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
QB Baker Mayfield (right thumb) remains officially QUESTIONABLE despite full participation all three days. Coach Todd Bowles expects him to start, but expected availability is different from being officially active. WR Emeka Egbuka (concussion/foot), RT Luke Goedeke (calf) and S Antoine Winfield Jr. (rib) are OUT. Even with Mayfield expected back, Tampa still has meaningful receiving, protection and secondary absences.

TENNESSEE TITANS
WR Calvin Ridley (hip), RB Tyjae Spears (knee), S Tony Adams (ankle) and S Kevin Winston Jr. (quadriceps) are QUESTIONABLE. Ridley missed Friday’s practice, keeping his availability a significant concern. Spears’ status also leaves uncertainty in the backfield rotation.

WASHINGTON COMMANDERS
BYE WEEK. WR Terry McLaurin is out for the season with a torn left patellar tendon. That is a lasting loss for the receiving corps; there is no Week 7 game designation.

Massachusetts +16 → +13
Massachusetts–Connecticut total: 49 → 53

Wyoming +6.5 → +5.5
Air Force–Wyoming total: 44.5 → 46.5

NC State -7 → -7.5
NC State–Stanford total: 56 → 55.5

ARIZONA CARDINALS

RB Jeremiyah Love missed Wednesday’s practice with an ankle injury. DT Walter Nolen III and S Andrew Wingard also were unavailable, while S Budda Baker and OT Jedrick Wills were dealing with illness. Love’s availability remains a backfield concern against Denver; missing practice does not establish that he is out Sunday.

ATLANTA FALCONS

CB A.J. Terrell returned to limited practice after Atlanta opened his injured-reserve return window. He still needs activation before playing. RB Brian Robinson (hamstring), pass rushers Za’Darius Smith (neck) and Samson Ebukam (hamstring), and CB Avieon Terrell (hamstring) were limited. LB Divine Deablo (forearm) and DB Billy Bowman (hamstring) did not practice. Coverage and pass-rush availability remain important against San Francisco.

BALTIMORE RAVENS

QB Lamar Jackson returned as a limited participant with his ankle injury. That is progress, but his Sunday availability and mobility remain unresolved. WR Rashod Bateman was limited with a shoulder injury. Jackson’s participation over the next two practices is the biggest variable against Cincinnati.

BUFFALO BILLS

Bye week; no Week 7 game designation.

CAROLINA PANTHERS

OLB Jaelan Phillips is not expected to play Sunday because of his hamstring injury. OLB Thomas Incoom also was listed as a nonparticipant with a calf injury. Wednesday’s report was an estimated walkthrough report. Carolina’s pass-rush depth is the concern against Tampa Bay.

CHICAGO BEARS

Thursday’s final designations: RB Kyle Monangai (thumb/toe) and LB Jack Sanborn (concussion) are OUT. LB T.J. Edwards (hamstring) is DOUBTFUL. CB Tyrique Stevenson (hip) is QUESTIONABLE despite practicing fully Wednesday. Chicago’s linebacker depth is the clearest concern against New England.

CINCINNATI BENGALS

S Kyle Dugger was limited Wednesday with a quadriceps injury. His game status remains unsettled; the concern is safety availability against Baltimore.

CLEVELAND BROWNS

RB Quinshon Judkins (ankle) was limited. Teven Jenkins (back), Elgton Jenkins (knee) and Carson Schwesinger (ankle) missed practice.

DALLAS COWBOYS

CB Cobie Durant’s hamstring remains a return-to-play watch. Dallas has reported encouraging progress, but Monday-night availability still needs confirmation. The Cowboys’ first formal practice report for the Philadelphia game is Thursday; last week’s designations should not be carried forward as current.

DENVER BRONCOS

OLB Jonah Elliss’ lower-leg injury is not considered season-ending, according to Sean Payton. His immediate availability and whether injured reserve will be necessary remain unresolved. Denver’s edge-rush rotation needs monitoring against Arizona.

DETROIT LIONS

Wednesday’s report was estimated. S Brian Branch (Achilles) and C Cade Mays (wrist) were estimated as full participants, but both still need activation before returning. CB Rock Ya-Sin was estimated limited with a hamstring injury. Branch and Mays could provide meaningful reinforcement if activated.

GREEN BAY PACKERS

QB Jordan Love (back) was estimated limited during Wednesday’s walkthrough. WRs Matthew Golden (shoulder), Christian Watson (ankle) and Savion Williams (ankle), plus G Aaron Banks (knee/toe), also were estimated limited. WR Bo Melton (back) was estimated out of practice. Monitor the quarterback and receiver cluster rather than treating these Wednesday entries as final game designations.

HOUSTON TEXANS

RB David Montgomery (groin), TE Dalton Schultz (quadriceps), OTs Trent Brown (wrist) and Blake Fisher (thumb) missed practice. Defensively, S Reed Blankenship (concussion/hand), S Jalen Pitre (shoulder) and LB Azeez Al-Shaair (knee) also were nonparticipants. Protection and defensive coverage depth are the main concerns against the Giants.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

CB Sauce Gardner (calf), TE Tyler Warren (groin), G Matt Goncalves (ankle) and WR Anthony Gould (concussion) did not practice. TE Andrew Ogletree also missed with an ankle injury. Jonathan Taylor’s limited participation was rest-related. The injury concerns are coverage, tight-end availability and protection against Minnesota.

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

Bye week; no Week 7 game designation.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

WR Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee), OT Jaylon Moore (concussion) and OT Josh Simmons (back/personal) did not practice. TE Travis Kelce (ankle) and CB L’Jarius Sneed (knee) were limited. The tackle and pass-catcher combination is the key concern against Seattle.

LAS VEGAS RAIDERS

DT Tonka Hemingway remains in concussion protocol. WR Dont’e Thornton is working through his return window from a hamstring injury, with activation still unconfirmed. Hemingway’s clearance and Thornton’s readiness need confirmation before Sunday against the Rams.

LOS ANGELES CHARGERS

Bye week; no Week 7 game designation.

LOS ANGELES RAMS

The Rams’ latest medical updates include WR Davante Adams’ ruptured hamstring, expected to cost six to ten weeks, and DT Poona Ford’s season-ending triceps injury. DL Kobie Turner is facing a multiweek absence with a groin injury. CB Trent McDuffie’s groin remains a game-week decision. These are substantial receiving and defensive-front losses against Las Vegas.

MIAMI DOLPHINS

RB Jaylen Wright (foot) and WR Caleb Douglas (ankle) were limited Wednesday. CB Reese Taylor did not practice with a quadriceps injury. Their Sunday availability remains unconfirmed; monitor the backfield and receiver depth against the Jets.

MINNESOTA VIKINGS

WR Justin Jefferson (ankle), OT Brian O’Neill (knee) and CB James Pierre (foot) were limited. TE T.J. Hockenson and OT Christian Darrisaw practiced fully while working through concussion issues; full participation alone does not establish final protocol clearance. RB Jordan Mason (thumb) also needs activation before returning.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

Thursday’s final designations: G Ben Brown (knee), G Alijah Vera-Tucker (hamstring), CB Carlton Davis III (neck), CB Channing Canada (hamstring) and CB Karon Prunty (hamstring) are OUT. OT Morgan Moses (foot), S Kevin Byard III (chest), LB Christian Elliss (chest) and S Craig Woodson (shoulder) are QUESTIONABLE. The guard and cornerback clusters are significant against Chicago.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

RB Alvin Kamara (back), LB Kaden Elliss (calf) and EDGE Anfernee Jennings (knee) were limited. G Cesar Ruiz missed practice with a knee injury. K Daniel Carlson was absent for personal reasons. Monitor the running game, interior protection and kicking availability against Pittsburgh.

NEW YORK GIANTS

J.J. McCarthy is expected to start against Houston. The protection situation bears watching: OTs Andrew Thomas (groin), Jermaine Eluemunor (calf) and Marcus Mbow (knee) did not practice. LB Tremaine Edmunds (shoulder), S Jevon Holland (concussion) and CB Greg Newsome II (concussion) also missed.

NEW YORK JETS

RB Breece Hall (quadriceps) and EDGE Joseph Ossai (ankle) did not practice. WR Adonai Mitchell (finger), G Dylan Parham (knee), EDGE Will McDonald IV (toe) and DL T’Vondre Sweat (elbow) were limited. Hall’s participation is the main offensive watch against Miami.

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

QB Jalen Hurts remains out for the season with blood-clot complications. RB Saquon Barkley’s hamstring availability requires a current-week update. G Landon Dickerson’s possible return from his knee injury also remains a watch. Philadelphia’s first formal practice report for Monday night comes Thursday.

PITTSBURGH STEELERS

CB Jalen Ramsey (wrist), CB Brandin Echols (hamstring), DT Sebastian Joseph-Day (triceps) and WR Ben Skowronek (calf) did not practice. EDGE Alex Highsmith (groin) and RB Rico Dowdle (knee) were limited. T.J. Watt and Cameron Heyward’s absences were rest-related. The secondary and Highsmith’s availability are the injury concerns against New Orleans.

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS

Kyle Shanahan said WR Mike Evans (Achilles), WR Deebo Samuel (hamstring), EDGE Nick Bosa (calf) and CB Upton Stout (shoulder) were expected to sit out Wednesday. Those coach-reported absences do not automatically establish Sunday OUT designations. The receiver cluster and Bosa’s progress are central against Atlanta.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

The latest coach update has TE Elijah Arroyo facing a significant absence with a shoulder injury. RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) and G Anthony Bradford (knee/hip) are potential reinforcements, but activation and game availability still need confirmation. Returning to practice is not the same as being cleared to play.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS

QB Baker Mayfield practiced fully with his right-thumb injury—a positive step toward returning, though Sunday’s start is not yet confirmed. WR Emeka Egbuka (concussion/foot), OT Luke Goedeke (calf), RB Bucky Irving (illness) and CB Zyon McCollum (illness) did not practice. Mayfield’s progress helps, but the protection and receiving concerns still matter against Carolina.

TENNESSEE TITANS

WR Calvin Ridley (hip), S Tony Adams (ankle) and S Kevin Winston Jr. (quadriceps) were limited Wednesday. RB Tyjae Spears’ absence was rest-related. Ridley’s progress and safety availability are the principal injury watches against Cleveland.

WASHINGTON COMMANDERS

Bye week; no Week 7 game designation.
