NFL Week 7 Injury Report: Major Updates on Key Players
As Week 7 of the NFL 2024 season approaches, numerous teams are dealing with significant player injuries, indicative of the physical demands of the sport. This week’s developments provide both good and bad news for different teams across the league.
The New York Jets received a boost as wide receiver Davante Adams practiced fully after previously being sidelined with a hamstring injury. His return comes after missing three games while with the Las Vegas Raiders. However, Adams’ quarterback did not participate in practice, nursing an ankle injury, indicating potential limitations in their offensive capabilities.
On the other side, the New Orleans Saints are experiencing a series of setbacks. Wide receiver Rashid Shaheed is expected to be out for several weeks following a meniscus surgery. Adding to their offensive woes, Chris Olave has been ruled out due to a concussion. Head coach Dennis Allen noted the possibility of placing Shaheed on injured reserve.
Elsewhere, the Denver Broncos will miss cornerback Patrick Surtain II, who suffered a concussion during their recent game against the Kansas City Chiefs. His absence is a significant blow to their defense, which has struggled to maintain solidity.
Other teams reporting injuries include the Seattle Seahawks, without cornerback Riq Woolen due to an ankle injury, although several key players were limited in practice. Similarly, the Atlanta Falcons and Tennessee Titans also face challenges with notable players missing practices or being limited due to various injuries.
The Cleveland Browns were buoyed by the return of running back Nick Chubb to full practice after recovering from a serious knee injury. His return could be pivotal as the Browns seek to enhance their offensive output after trading Kareem Hunt to the Buffalo Bills.
Furthermore, the Los Angeles Rams received some positive news as wide receiver Cooper Kupp returned to limited practice following an ankle injury, increasing hopes for his participation in the upcoming game.
Each team reported varying degrees of player participation, reflecting the week’s ongoing challenges. Coaches and players are closely monitoring these situations as they prepare for another competitive weekend in the NFL.
