NFL Week 7 Injury Report: Key Players to Miss Games

This week in Los Angeles, the NFL is facing some significant injury updates as we roll into Week 7. The big news for the Rams is that superstar wide receiver Puka Nacua will miss his first game of the season due to an ankle injury. Nacua suffered the injury during Week 6 while trying to play through pain but couldn’t practice at all leading up to this week. He is officially ruled out for the Rams’ game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, which will kick off this Sunday morning in London.

In related news, two other prominent wide receivers are also sidelined. Garrett Wilson from the Jets will miss his game against the Panthers due to a knee injury sustained last week, and Deebo Samuel of the Commanders is out due to a heel issue. The Commanders are really feeling the hit as Samuel joins teammate Terry McLaurin, who is also out this week.

On a brighter note, CeeDee Lamb of the Cowboys will be making his return after a three-week absence caused by a high ankle sprain. His presence is expected to give the Dallas offense an added boost as they prepare to face the Commanders. Lamb’s absence has been felt, but the Cowboys have maintained a strong offensive performance in his absence.

The Bears also have some injury news. D’Andre Swift is listed as questionable with a groin issue but is expected to play against the Saints. Meanwhile, DJ Moore has shown positive progress from his injury and is set to return after being hospitalized last week.

Make sure to keep an eye on Kyler Murray, as he will miss another week for the Cardinals due to a foot injury, causing concerns about a potential fifth straight loss for the team. Josh Jacobs of the Packers is also a game-time decision with a calf injury and illness, which could impact the team’s plans against the Cardinals.

In the Eagles’ camp, defensive lineman Jalen Carter is expected to play despite dealing with a heel issue, which is good news for Philadelphia as they aim to stop the run game of the Vikings. Also, Khalil Mack of the Chargers is anticipated to make his return against the Colts, having missed several games due to an elbow injury, and his return will be crucial for improving their defense.

With so many players hit by injuries, fans are certainly hoping for quick recoveries and exciting matchups this weekend as the games unfold.
