Los Angeles is buzzing as NFL Week 7 approaches, but the excitement is tempered by some significant injury news for several teams. The highlight of the upcoming games features the Los Angeles Rams facing off against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. Unfortunately for the Rams, they will be without star wide receiver Puka Nacua, who is sidelined with an ankle injury. Nacua didn’t practice all week, though Rams head coach Sean McVay expressed optimism that he could return after the team’s bye week following this game.
Meanwhile, in the Washington camp, wide receiver Terry McLaurin‘s status is uncertain as he deals with a quad injury, while the New York Jets are also grappling with concerns over pass catcher Garrett Wilson, who has not practiced this week. Wilson will not be in the lineup as the Jets prepare to battle the Carolina Panthers.
On another front, the Las Vegas Raiders are eagerly watching as Brock Bowers returned to practice but is still listed as doubtful, while Jakobi Meyers is officially questionable after a limited practice week. They are also going to have to continue managing their line without Josh Simmons, who is absent for personal reasons.
The Kansas City Chiefs seem to be in good health, but they will miss left tackle Josh Simmons again, and Rashee Rice returns from injury, which should help boost their offense. Over in New England, the team appears to be healthy heading into this week, with all questionable players practicing fully on Friday except for linebacker Jaylinn Hawkins.
As always, the injury report has a ripple effect on the roster and game strategy. It’s clear that the health of key players will be vital as teams strive for victory and look towards a potential playoff run. All eyes will be glued to the fields this Sunday as teams navigate through another action-packed week of NFL football.
