Washington, D.C. – Several key players across the NFL have been ruled out or are questionable for their respective teams in Week 7, impacting matchups both on the field and in fantasy leagues. The Washington Commanders will notably be without wide receiver Deebo Samuel, who has been downgraded to out due to a heel injury ahead of their game against the Dallas Cowboys.
In Arizona, Kyler Murray has been sidelined for the Arizona Cardinals as they face the Green Bay Packers at home. Murray’s absence is due to a foot injury, which means that Jacoby Brissett will take over the quarterback position. The loss of Murray is significant for the Cardinals as they look for a win against a tough opponent.
The Dallas Cowboys will also have to contend with injuries, as cornerback Trevon Diggs has been ruled out following a concussion sustained in an accident at home. Meanwhile, the Cowboys are still hopeful that wide receiver CeeDee Lamb can play, after limited participation in practice last week.
In Tampa Bay, wide receivers Mike Evans and Emeka Egbuka are both dealing with hamstring injuries and are officially listed as questionable for their Monday night clash against the Detroit Lions. The Buccaneers’ ability to perform could be adversely affected if either player cannot participate.
The San Francisco 49ers prepare for their game against the Atlanta Falcons without starting quarterback Brock Purdy, who will sit out due to a toe injury. Additionally, wide receiver Ricky Pearsall is out with a knee injury. However, tight end George Kittle is set to return after recovering from a hamstring issue, providing some much-needed support for the 49ers’ passing attack.
From the Chicago Bears, running back Chuba Hubbard returned to practice fully and carries no injury designation, unlike kicker Cairo Santos, who did not participate in practice this week due to a thigh injury. This discrepancy could affect the Bears’ special teams during their upcoming matchup.
The Los Angeles Rams will be missing wide receiver Puka Nacua, who is out with an ankle injury after missing practice all week. Additionally, two Jacksonville Jaguars linebackers, Devin Lloyd and Ventrell Miller, will not participate due to calf and shoulder injuries, respectively, in their London matchup against the Rams.
Another key absence will affect the Kansas City Chiefs, as left tackle Josh Simmons is away from the team for personal reasons and will not suit up for their game this week. Defensive tackle Jalen Carter of the Eagles is ready to return to the field after a full practice week.
On the injury front, the Green Bay Packers have listed seven players as questionable, including running back Josh Jacobs. A number of teams are seeing multiple players impacted by injuries, reflecting the physical toll of the season.
The New York Jets’ wide receiver Garrett Wilson makes a welcome return as he is not listed on the injury report and is expected to play. In contrast, the Baltimore Ravens will be down wide receiver Calvin Ridley, who has been ruled out with a hamstring injury, impacting their offensive strategy for the week.
As teams finalize their preparations for Week 7, the array of injuries complicates game plans and forecasts for the matches ahead. The shifting lineup dynamics will continue to play a crucial role in determining the outcomes as teams look to secure vital victories.
