NFL Week 7 brings another wave of injuries across the league, with several key players dealing with new injuries that could impact their availability moving forward.
SICscore.com is tracking the latest NFL Week 7 injuries, player statuses, medical updates and potential return timelines from around the league.
Saquon Barkley, Eagles - Right Hamstring
Barkley played just nine snaps in Monday night's loss to the Cowboys after missing the previous two games with a right hamstring injury. He appeared limited throughout the game before exiting with back tightness. Barkley said afterward that his hamstring came out of the game feeling great, suggesting the back issue was responsible for his early exit.
Charles Cross, Seahawks - High Ankle Sprain
Cross exited Sunday's win over the Chiefs with an ankle injury and did not return. Multiple reports indicate he suffered a high ankle sprain that could sideline him in the short term. However, head coach Mike Macdonald said the team has not yet determined his recovery timeline.
Jahmyr Gibbs, Lions - Ankle
Gibbs went down awkwardly late in Sunday's game against the Packers. Based on video analysis, Dr. David Chao (@ProFootballDoc) noted that the play resembled a high ankle injury mechanism but did not appear to involve enough force to cause significant damage. Chao expects Gibbs to be fine.
Jaylen Waddle, Broncos - Chest
Waddle exited Sunday's game against the Cardinals with a chest injury and did not return. He was evaluated in the medical tent after falling awkwardly on a botched end-around play in the fourth quarter. Waddle had been limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday with a chest injury before being cleared for Week 7.
Cam Skattebo, Giants - Hamstring
Skattebo reported feeling something in his hamstring during a career-long 42-yard run in overtime against the Texans, causing him to go down at the Houston 30-yard line. The severity of the injury is unclear, but the Giants' Week 8 bye will provide additional recovery time.
Sean Rhyan, Packers - Left Ankle
Rhyan is believed to have suffered a high ankle sprain during Sunday's loss to the Lions after his left leg was rolled up on in the first quarter. He did not return and could miss four to six weeks. Rhyan has started every game at center for Green Bay this season.
Jacob Monk, Packers - Quad
Monk exited Sunday's game against the Lions with a quadriceps injury shortly after replacing the injured Sean Rhyan at center. He is questionable to return.
Aaron Jones Sr., Vikings - Left Knee
Jones exited Sunday's game against the Colts with a left knee injury and did not return. The injury is not considered significant, and Jones is currently viewed as day-to-day. He had previously been playing through a sprained MCL in the same knee.
Vega Ioane, Ravens - MCL
Ioane suffered an MCL injury during Sunday's loss to the Bengals and did not return. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the rookie offensive lineman is expected to miss time, although the injury is not considered long term.
Taylor Moton, Panthers - Left Ankle
Moton suffered a fractured fibula during Sunday's game against the Buccaneers and is out indefinitely, according to head coach Dave Canales. He was carted off after his left leg appeared to get rolled up on. The diagnosis confirms the fracture concern initially raised by Dr. David Chao (@ProFootballDoc) based on video analysis.
Drake London, Falcons - Concussion Evaluation
London was evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's game against the 49ers but was cleared to return. According to Dr. David Chao, London passed the evaluation and returned to game action.
Christian McCaffrey, 49ers - Thigh
McCaffrey suffered a mild hamstring strain during Sunday's loss to the Falcons but was able to return to the game. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that the team is optimistic the injury will not affect McCaffrey's availability when the 49ers return from their Week 8 bye.
Tyrone Tracy Jr., Giants - Left Hamstring
Tracy will be placed on injured reserve after suffering a hamstring injury during Sunday's game against the Texans. General manager Joe Schoen confirmed the move, which will sideline Tracy for at least four games.
