NFL Week 7 injury report: Jaguars’ Trevor Lawrence questionable, Browns’ Deshaun Watson misses practice

Heading into Week 7, there are a lot of players with injuries to keep an eye on. As to whether they will play or not is still up in the air. 

As far as quarterbacks go Chicago Bears’ Justin Fields will likely be out with a thumb injury, Jacksonville Jaguars’ Trevor Lawrence is dealing with a knee injury, Las Vegas Raiders’ Jimmy Garoppolo has a back injury, New York Giants’ Daniel Jones‘ recovery for his neck injury still does not have a timeline, and that is not even naming all the QB injuries. 

Needless to say, there is a lot to keep up with. We have all the information you need as the injury reports and game designations roll in from Wednesday to Sunday. 

Here is a look at what each team is dealing with as far as injuries are concerned:

Jaguars: CB Tyson Campbell (hamstring), DT Davon Hamilton (back), WR Zay Jones (knee), OL Walker Little (knee) OUT; QB Trevor Lawrence (knee), OL Brandon Scherff (ankle) QUESTIONABLE

Saints: TE Juwan Johnson (calf), S J.T. Gray (hamstring), T Landon Young (hip), G/T James Hurst (ankle), T Ryan Ramczyk (concussion) OUT; LB Demario Davis (knee), S Lonnie Johnson (hamstring), S Tyrann Mathieu (foot), RB Jamaal Williams (hamstring) QUESTIONABLE

Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is currently dealing with a knee injury described as a knee sprain that is not considered significant. The team is optimistic that Lawrence will be able to play on Thursday night, but he is officially listed as questionable.

On the Saints side, Johnson and Mathieu and Williams were all limited in practice on Wednesday. Davis did not practice all week. 

Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield suffered a thumb contusion late in last week’s game and head coach Bruce Arians says it will be something to monitor. He did not have to miss any time in the game.

The Bears are preparing to start quarterback Tyson Bagent as starter Justin Fields is dealing with a thumb injury.

The Raiders also have a quarterback with an injury. Jimmy Garoppolo injured his back last week against the Patriots, sidelining him for the rest of the game. Head coach Josh McDaniels says Garoppolo “dodged a bullet,” since the prognosis is more encouraging that it could have been. McDaniels did not have a definite answer on whether his QB will play this week. 

It is up in the air whether quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder) will be able to start on Sunday. The veteran didn’t practice on Wednesday and says he can’t put a timeline on his return.

Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has a neck injury and will be limited in practice on Wednesday. The injury took place in Week 5 and sidelined Jones last week and his status for this week is still unknown.

Quarterback Kyler Murry’s knee injury continues to be a headline, but he made progress this week when he returned to practice on Wednesday. The Cardinals designated him to return from the PUP list.

Offensive tackle Lane Johnson left last week’s game with an injury, which is likely a lateral ankle sprain. His status for this week is not yet known.

The 49ers not only lost their first game last week, they also lost running back Christian McCaffrey, wide receiver Deebo Samuel and left tackle Trent Williams who were all injured in Week 6 against the Browns. McCaffrey has an oblique injury, Samuel has a shoulder injury and Williams has a sprained ankle.
