NFL Week 7 injuries: Latest updates on Mike Evans, Cooper Kupp, Rhamondre Stevenson and others

Week 7 of the 2024 NFL season is here. Per usual, we’re keeping tabs on several key injuries throughout the league. Once again, a number of key names are dealing with injury statuses ahead of their games. A few superstars will have the green light for Sunday, including new Jets wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) and Browns running back Nick Chubb (knee). 

The Vikings will have to see how Aaron Jones fares in warmups, while the Colts have uncertain status on several wide receivers. Below, you’ll see each team’s injury designations this week. 

All odds via DraftKings sportsbook.

New England Patriots vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (-6) in London

• Patriots: OT Vederian Lowe (ankle) OUT; RB Rhamondre Stevenson (foot), CB Jonathan Jones (shoulder), OG Michael Jordan (ankle), LB Sione Takitaki (knee), CB Marco Wilson (groin), LB Curtis Jacobs (knee) QUESTIONABLE
• Jaguars: RB Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring), CB Tyson Campbell (quad) QUESTIONABLE

Good news for the Patriots. Stevenson practiced in full on Friday, so there’s a good chance he plays on Sunday. Jones was limited in practice all week but is still up in the air to play.

For the Jaguars, Etienne was limited in practice all week. If he can’t go, Tank Bigsby will get the start Sunday. 

Seattle Seahawks at Atlanta Falcons (-3)

• Seahawks: OT Stone Forsythe (hand), CB Tre Brown (ankle), CB Tariq Woolen (ankle) S Jerrick Reed II (ankle) OUT; RB Kenneth Walker III (illness) QUESTIONABLE
• Falcons: OLB Lorenzo Carter (concussion), ILB Troy Andersen (knee) OUT; S Justin Simmons (hamstring), CB Antonio Hamilton Sr. (back) QUESTIONABLE

The Seahawks won’t have Woolen or Brown, which means they’re down two of their top four cornerbacks. Nehemiah Pritchett is set to get the start at cornerback next to Devon Witherspoon. Walker was a late addition with an illness and would be a big hit to the Seahawks offense.

Simmons was limited Thursday and Friday for the Falcons, so he’ll likely be a game-time decision for Sunday. That’s the only major injury for Atlanta. 

Tennessee Titans at Buffalo Bills (-9.5)

• Titans: DE Keondre Coburn (knee), RB Tyjae Spears (hamstring), WR Treylon Burks (knee/IR), LB Cedric Gray (shoulder) OUT; QB Will Levis (right shoulder), CB L’Jarius Sneed (quad) QUESTIONABLE
• Bills: RB Darrynton Evans (hamstring) DOUBTFUL; S Mike Edwards (illness), RB Ray Davis (calf) QUESTIONABLE

The Titans may not have Levis on Sunday, as he was limited in Friday’s practice with his injury to his throwing shoulder. If Levis is out, Mason Rudolph will get the start at quarterback. Sneed did not practice all week, but may be good enough to give it a go this week. 

The Bills will have running back James Cook (toe) for Sunday, as he was not given an injury designation, but they could be without Davis. New Bills wide receiver Amari Cooper is expected to play. 

Cincinnati Bengals (-6) at Cleveland Browns

• Bengals: CB DJ Ivey (knee) QUESTIONABLE
• Browns: RB Jerome Ford (hamstring), S Ronnie Hickman (ankle) OUT; RB Nick Chubb (knee), LB Jordan Hicks (elbow, triceps), RB Nyheim Hines (knee), C Ethan Pocic (knee), S Juan Thornhill (calf) QUESTIONABLE

The Bengals are relatively healthy heading into Sunday, as Ivey was a full participant in Friday’s practice. 

The banged-up Browns got good injury news. Chubb is expected to make his season debut Sunday, while Hicks and Hines were full participants in Friday’s practice. Pocic appears to be a game-time decision, as he was limited in Friday’s practice. 

Houston Texans at Green Bay Packers (-3)

• Texans: LB Azeez Al-Shaair (knee), CB Kamari Lassiter (shoulder), LB Henry To’oTo’o (concussion), S Jimmie Ward (groin), WR Robert Woods (foot) OUT; WR Steven Sims (back), DT Folorunso Fatukasi (shoulder) QUESTIONABLE
• Packers: DL Devonte Wyatt (ankle) OUT; WR Dontayvion Wicks (shoulder), DL Colby Wooden (knee) QUESTIONABLE

While the Texans won’t have Al-Shaair for Sunday, running back Joe Mixon (ankle) was a full participant in practice and not given an injury designation. Ditto for offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil (ankle). 

The Packers may not have Wicks, but wide receivers Jayden Reed (ankle) and Christian Watson (ankle) will play after being limited participants in Friday’s practice. Tight end Tucker Kraft (groin) was also limited, but will play. 

Miami Dolphins at Indianapolis Colts (-3)

• Dolphins: S Jevon Holland (hand) DOUBTFUL; WR Odell Beckham Jr. (hamstring/personal), LS Blake Ferguson (personal), OT Austin Jackson (back), LB David Long Jr. (knee), LB Emmanuel Ogbah (bicep), CB Cam Smith (hamstring), QB Skylar Thompson (ribs) QUESTIONABLE
• Colts: CB Chris Lammons (ankle), RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle) OUT; DE Dayo Odeyingbo (hamstring), WR Michael Pittman (back), T Braden Smith (knee), WR Josh Downs (toe), WR Alec Pierce (shoulder), LB E.J. Speed (knee) QUESTIONABLE

The Dolphins likely won’t have Holland, who was limited in all three practices. Beckham was limited Friday and will have his game status determined this weekend. Smith and Thompson were full participants Friday, but Tyler Huntley is expected to start at QB. 

A lot of wide receiver injuries on the Colts, but Pierce is likely to play since he was a full participant Friday. Pittman didn’t practice after being a full participant Thursday, so he’s a game-time decision. Quarterback Anthony Richardson (oblique) was not given an injury designation, so he’s expected to start Sunday. With no Taylor, Trey Sermon is expected to start at running back. 

Detroit Lions at Minnesota Vikings (-2.5)

• Lions: OG Christian Mahogany (illness) OUT; CB Carlton Davis II (quad), OG Kevin Zeitler (groin) QUESTIONABLE
• Vikings: LB Blake Cashman (toe), CB Akayleb Evans (hip), TE T.J. Hockenson (knee), OG Dalton Risner (back) OUT; RB Aaron Jones (hamstring), OLB Patrick Jones II (shoulder), DL Harrison Phillips (shoulder) QUESTIONABLE

The Lions likely will have Davis for Sunday as he was a full participant in Friday’s practice. They may not have Zeitler as he was limited Thursday but did not practice Friday. 

For the Vikings, Jones was limited in Friday’s practice. There are reports that he’s likely to play this week. Hockenson is still under his designated 21-day practice window to return and will now target a Week 8 return. 

Philadelphia Eagles (-3) at New York Giants 

• Eagles: TE Dallas Goedert (hamstring), OT Jordan Mailata (hamstring), DT Byron Young (hamstring) OUT; CB Eli Ricks (groin), CB Darius Slay (knee) QUESTIONABLE
• Giants: P Jamie Gillan (left hamstring), CB Adoree’ Jackson (neck) OUT; OLB Brian Burns (groin), DL Dexter Lawrence II (hip), S Dane Belton (illness) QUESTIONABLE

The Eagles will have defensive tackle Jalen Carter (shoulder) available for Sunday, as he was not given an injury designation. Slay is also likely to play after being a full participant in practice. With Goedert out, Grant Calcaterra will start at tight end. 

For the Giants, wide receiver Malik Nabers is back, as he was not given an injury designation. Burns was limited Friday after missing the Wednesday and Thursday practices. Lawrence is on the same trajectory as Burns, as the Giants could be without their top two defensive linemen. 

Las Vegas Raiders at Los Angeles Rams (-7)

• Raiders: LB Tommy Eichenberg (quad), LB Kana’i Mauga (knee), OG Dylan Parham (foot) OUT; WR Jakobi Meyers (ankle) DOUBTFUL; DT Adam Butler (knee/illness), RB Zamir White (groin), DT John Jenkins (illness) QUESTIONABLE
• Rams: WR Jordan Whittington (shoulder), OL Joe Noteboom (ankle), WR Cooper Kupp (ankle) QUESTIONABLE

The Raiders have a laundry list of injuries, but defensive end Maxx Crosby (ankle) will play after not receiving an injury designation. Meyers did not participate in any practices this week, so his final status will be determined over the weekend. White was a full participant in Friday’s practice. 

Kupp will likely be a game-time decision for the Rams this Sunday, as he was a limited participant in Friday’s practice. The same can be said for Noteboom, as he was also limited. 

Carolina Panthers at Washington Commanders (-9) 

• Panthers: RB Jonathon Brooks (knee), LB Josey Jewell (hamstring/groin), LB Claudin Cherelus ((hamstring), OT Taylor Moton (elbow), LS Jon Rhattigan (knee/illness), DE A’Shawn Robinson (knee) OUT; OLB Jadeveon Clowney (shoulder), DT Jaden Crumedy (ankle), S Sam Franklin Jr. (foot) DOUBTFUL; CB Dane Jackson (hamstring), WR Diontae Johnson (ankle), WR David Moore (knee), OT Yosh Nijman (knee), TE Tommy Tremble (concussion), DE LaBryan Ray (ankle/knee) QUESTIONABLE
• Commanders: DE Dorance Armstrong (rib), S Tyler Owens (shin) OUT: DE Clelin Ferrell (knee), RB Brian Robinson Jr. (knee), LB Jordan Magee (knee) QUESTIONABLE

The longest injury report in the league this week belongs to the Panthers. Brooks won’t be making his debut this week, even though the running back was limited in Friday’s practice. Johnson was limited Friday, so there is a chance he’ll play. Tremble did not practice this week.

For the Commanders, Robinson was limited Friday. Center Tyler Biadasz (thumb) was a full participant Friday and was not given an injury designation. 

Kansas City Chiefs at San Francisco 49ers (-1.5)

• Chiefs: DE Mike Danna (pectoral) OUT; WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) QUESTIONABLE
• 49ers: WR Jauan Jennings (hip), K Jake Moody (ankle), K Matthew Wright (shoulder/back) OUT; CB Darrell Luter Jr. (pelvis), WR Ricky Pearsall (chest), DT Kevin Givens (groin) QUESTIONABLE

The Chiefs may have Smith-Schuster on Sunday, as he’ll be a game-time decision. Running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) will be back, as he was not given an injury designation. 

The 49ers will be getting Pearsall back, as he’s expected to play. The kicker situation is interesting, as both kickers will not play. Anders Carlson, whom the Packers just released, will kick this week. 

New York Jets (-1.5) at Pittsburgh Steelers 

• Jets: CB Michael Carter II (back) OUT; TE Tyler Conklin (hip), CB D.J. Reed (groin), LB Chazz Surratt (heel) QUESTIONABLE)
• Steelers: C Zach Frazier (ankle), LB Nick Herbig (hamstring), T Dylan Cook (foot), RB/KR Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) OUT; WR Roman Wilson (hamstring), DT Montravius Adams (knee) QUESTIONABLE

The Jets will see Davante Adams (hamstring) make his debut, as he was not given an injury designation. Wide receiver Mike Williams will also play Sunday after missing two practices for personal reasons. Williams was a full participant Friday. 

The Steelers don’t have running back Najee Harris (ribs) with an injury designation, so he’ll play. Linebacker Alex Highsmith (groin) will also play. The starting quarterback has not yet revealed. 

Baltimore Ravens (-3) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Monday)

• Ravens: RB Rasheen Ali (ankle), LB Malik Harrison (groin) OUT; DT Boderick Washingon (knee) DOUBTFUL; CB Arthur Maulet (knee/hamstring) QUESTIONABLE
• Buccaneers: CB Jamel Dean (hamstring), TE Payne Durham (calf), WR Rakim Jarrett (knee), WR Kameron Johnson (ankle) OUT; DL Earnest Brown IV (ribs), WR Trey Palmer (concussion), NT Vita Vea (hamstring), RB Rachaad White (foot) QUESTIONABLE

The Ravens placed WR/LS Deonte Harty on injured reserve, meaning he will miss at least four weeks. Ali and Harrison are both out. 

The Buccaneers didn’t have wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) practice for two days, but he is off the injury report and will play. Cornerback Jamel Dean (hamstring) also didn’t practice, but safety Antoine Winfield Jr. (foot) was a full participant. White was a full participant on Saturday, after being limited the rest of the week. Vea didn’t practice on Saturday.

Los Angeles Chargers (-2) at Arizona Cardinals (Monday)

The Chargers had edge rusher Joey Bosa (hip) and wide receiver Quentin Johnston (ankle) as the notable nonparticipants in Friday’s practice. Wide receivers DJ Chark (groin) and Ladd McConkey (hip) were limited participants. 

The Cardinals got some good news on Saturday, as wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. was officially removed from concussion protocol and will suit up on Monday night.
