WASHINGTON – As NFL teams prepare for Week 7, the injury reports are starting to pile up, significantly affecting lineups across the league. The Washington Commanders were one of the first teams to announce crucial injury news. Wide receiver _Deebo Samuel_ has been downgraded to out for their upcoming matchup against the Dallas Cowboys due to a heel injury, which could impact the Commanders’ offensive strategy.

The injury list continues with the Arizona Cardinals, as quarterback _Kyler Murray_ has been ruled out for their home game against the Green Bay Packers because of a foot injury. In his absence, _Jacoby Brissett_ will take over the starting role, which could change the dynamics of the game for the Cardinals.

On the other hand, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are anxiously watching the status of their wide receivers, _Mike Evans_ and _Emeka Egbuka_, who are both dealing with hamstring issues and are now listed as questionable for Monday night’s showdown against the Detroit Lions.

Meanwhile, the San Francisco 49ers will be missing quarterback _Brock Purdy_ and wide receiver _Ricky Pearsall_ due to toe and knee injuries, respectively. However, hopes are high for tight end _George Kittle_, who is expected to return to action, providing some much-needed firepower against the Atlanta Falcons.

In a twist of unfortunate news, the Commanders will also be without receiver _Terry McLaurin_, sidelined with a quadriceps injury since Week 4. Adding to Dallas’ troubles, cornerback _Trevon Diggs_ suffered a concussion after an accident at home and has also been ruled out for Sunday’s game.

As these key players deal with their injuries, teams are hustling to adjust their game plans ahead of a busy Week 7 filled with anticipated matchups.
