In the latest NFL injury updates, several key players are navigating injury challenges as Week 7 approaches. Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray remains “questionable” for Sunday’s matchup against the Green Bay Packers due to a mid-foot sprain he suffered in Week 6. The Cardinals are expected to start Jacoby Brissett for the second consecutive week after he threw for 320 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in his debut against the Indianapolis Colts. The Cardinals have experienced a frustrating stretch, losing four consecutive games by a combined margin of just nine points.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has officially returned from a high ankle sprain that sidelined him for the past three games. After participating in two limited practices this week, Lamb expressed his readiness to return to action and his satisfaction with the progress of his ankle. “I feel like I’m moving around, running around, being me,” Lamb said, demonstrating optimism about regaining his full explosiveness.
The Los Angeles Rams will be managing without receiver Puka Nacua for their upcoming game against the Jacksonville Jaguars due to an ankle sprain incurred during last week’s competition against the Baltimore Ravens. Rams head coach Sean McVay shared optimism regarding Nacua’s recovery, suggesting that the bye week could benefit his return when the Rams face the New Orleans Saints on November 2.
Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard is set to return after missing the past two games with a calf injury, presenting an exciting opportunity as he rejoins the backfield alongside Rico Dowdle, who has shone in his absence with notable rushing stats.
In other significant updates, Tampa Bay Buccaneers players Mike Evans and Emeka Egbuka are both listed as questionable due to hamstring issues as they prepare to face the Detroit Lions. Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy is also questionable due to an ankle injury but is set to serve as an emergency backup. The Green Bay Packers are in a tough spot as running back Josh Jacobs is a game-time decision with an illness and calf injury.
Players returning from injuries can breathe new life into their teams, and this week’s updates reflect a mix of hopeful comebacks and ongoing challenges in the league. As teams strategize their lineups amidst these injuries, fans will be keenly watching to see how these developments influence the outcomes of upcoming games.
