New England Patriots: Running back Stevenson is active despite earlier concerns over a foot injury. However, wide receiver Thornton is inactive due to illness, marking another week of absence. The Patriots will need to adjust their offensive strategy accordingly.

Jacksonville Jaguars: Running back Etienne is listed as inactive due to a hamstring issue. In his absence, the Jaguars will rely on Johnson and Bigsby to manage the running game against their upcoming opponents.

Buffalo Bills: Running back Hines remains doubtful with a calf injury, although Cook, dealing with a toe issue, is expected to take the lead in the backfield.

Cleveland Browns: Running back Hunt has been activated from the injured reserve list with a knee injury, although uncertainty remains about his snap count. This follows the news that Ford will be sidelined for Week 7 due to a hamstring issue.

Green Bay Packers: Wide receiver Reed is questionable with a shoulder injury, following a week of limited practice sessions. However, Doubs, recovering from an ankle injury, is set to play.

Despite being hampered by a toe and shoulder injury respectively, Pierce and Downs are on track to contribute this weekend.

Miami Dolphins: Quarterback Tagovailoa is potentially out for Week 7 due to rib injuries, thereby shifting the starting role to Thompson. Additionally, wide receiver Hill is questionable with a hamstring injury.

Seattle Seahawks: Running back Walker is questionable due to an illness that developed late in the week, which could lead to a game-time decision on his participation.

Tennessee Titans: Quarterback Levis is out with a shoulder injury, and Henry is dealing with a hamstring issue, affecting the Titans’ offensive dynamics as Nick Folk becomes a key player.

Carolina Panthers: Wide receiver Chark is questionable with rib injuries alongside existing hamstring concerns, while running back Hubbard will start against the Houston Texans as Brooks remains out with a knee injury.
