Washington, D.C. – Several key players have been ruled out or marked as questionable ahead of Week 7 matchups in the NFL, potentially impacting the outcomes of the games as teams look to secure important victories. Notable absences include wide receiver Deebo Samuel from the Washington Commanders and quarterback Kyler Murray from the Arizona Cardinals, both sidelined due to injuries.
The Commanders will face the Dallas Cowboys without Samuel, who has been downgraded to out for this week after suffering from a heel injury. Furthermore, Terry McLaurin, another critical receiver for the Commanders, will not suit up due to a quadriceps injury.
In a pivotal game for the Cardinals at home against the Green Bay Packers, they will be without their starting quarterback Kyler Murray, who is dealing with a foot injury. This opens the door for Jacoby Brissett to take the starting role, as the Cardinals try to bounce back in the competitive NFC.
Similarly, the San Francisco 49ers will miss quarterback Brock Purdy for their matchup against the Atlanta Falcons due to a toe injury. The 49ers also confirmed that wide receiver Ricky Pearsall will be out with a knee issue; however, tight end George Kittle is expected to return after previously dealing with a hamstring injury.
The Dallas Cowboys will be without cornerback Trevon Diggs, who suffered a concussion at home and has been ruled out for the game against Washington. Despite these setbacks, the Cowboys are expecting their wide receiver CeeDee Lamb to participate after practicing in a limited capacity last week.
Further complicating player statuses for the Week 7 slate are injuries affecting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where wide receivers Mike Evans and Emeka Egbuka are both listed as questionable due to hamstring injuries as they prepare to face the Detroit Lions on Monday night.
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has been ruled out due to an ankle injury, as has Devin Lloyd and Ventrell Miller from the Jacksonville Jaguars as they face the Rams in London. In addition, the Kansas City Chiefs will see left tackle Josh Simmons away from the team for personal reasons this week.
On the defensive side, the Atlanta Falcons will be short two rookie defenders, Walker and Bowman, who are sidelined due to soft tissue injuries.
In contrast, the Chicago Bears may have better luck with running back Chuba Hubbard having practiced fully on Friday, indicating he carries no injury designation heading into their game this week.
The injury reports are extensive across several teams. The New England Patriots have tight end David Njoku listed as a nonparticipant in practice due to a knee injury. The Green Bay Packers have seven players marked as questionable, including running back Josh Jacobs. Similarly, the New York Giants will likely miss wide receiver Darius Slayton, who has not practiced during the week due to a hamstring issue.
In an additional noteworthy update, Calvin Ridley from the Baltimore Ravens is officially ruled out due to a hamstring injury, while Khalil Mack of the Los Angeles Chargers has had his practice window opened but remains limited as he recovers from an elbow injury.
The injury landscape heading into Week 7 is critical for teams aiming to make an impact in the league, influencing player performance and game strategies. Fans and teams alike will be closely monitoring these developments as kickoff approaches.
