Week 7 Updates on Derek Carr, Nick Chubb – NBC Los Angeles

The 2024 NFL regular season is one-third complete and injuries are starting to pile up across the league.

Between starting quarterbacks, premier running backs and rising stars on both sides of the ball, key players in the NFL could spend Week 7 on the sidelines.

Here’s the latest on some notable injured players heading into Week 7.

Derek Carr, QB, Saints

The New Orleans Saints will be quite short for their Thursday Night Football game against the Denver Broncos.

Quarterback Derek Carr missed Sunday’s loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with an oblique injury and did not participate in Tuesday’s practice. Wide receivers Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee) also did not participate, while running back Alvin Kamara (hand) and tight end Taysom Hill (rib) were limited participants.

Russell Wilson, QB, Steelers

Russell Wilson may be on the verge of making his team debut with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Sidelined with a calf injury early in the season, Wilson will get first-team reps with the Pittsburgh offense ahead of their Sunday Night Football showdown against the New York Jets. Head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed that Wilson is “in consideration” to replace Justin Fields as the team’s QB1.

Anthony Richardson, QB, Colts

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson will start in Week 7 against the Miami Dolphins after missing the last two games with an oblique injury, head coach Shane Steichen said Monday.

The second-year quarterback suffered the injury after taking a hard hit during the Colts’ Week 4 win over the Steelers.

Nick Chubb, RB, Browns

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb will make his long-awaited return to the field in Sunday’s AFC North game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The four-time Pro Bowler hasn’t played in more than a year after suffering a gruesome knee injury in Week 2 of the 2023 season. He shared his insight into his recovery in a Players’ Tribune profile on Wednesday, saying he’s willing to repay the Cleveland fans who stood by his side.

“These rocks will not move themselves,” he wrote. “Let’s work.”

Jordan Mason, RB, 49ers

Running back Jordan Mason left the San Francisco 49ers’ win over the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night with a sprained AC joint. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Mason would be “day to day” and classified it as “good news” with a Super Bowl LVIII rematch against the Kansas City Chiefs looming.

Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Cardinals

Marvin Harrison Jr. suffered a concussion during the Arizona Cardinals’ Week 6 loss to the Green Bay Packers.

The starting wide receiver will have to pass the NFL’s concussion protocol in order to suit up against the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football.

Andrew Thomas, LT, Giants

The New York Giants will reportedly be without left tackle Andrew Thomas for the remainder of the season. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reported that the 2020 fourth overall draft pick underwent surgery Wednesday morning to repair a Lisfranc injury in his foot.

Lions DE Aidan Hutchinson left the Lions Week 6 game against the Cowboys after his leg collided with a teammate during the sack of Dak Prescott.

Aidan Hutchinson, DE, Lions

The Detroit Lions were dealt a devastating blow in their dominant win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 6 when star pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson suffered a broken leg.

The team placed Hutchinson, who has an NFL-leading 7.5 sacks through six weeks, on season-ending injured reserve on Tuesday.

Patrick Surtain II, CB, Broncos

Patrick Surtain II entered the NFL’s concussion protocol after breaking up a coverage pass during the Denver Broncos’ loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

The Broncos listed the Pro Bowl cornerback as a non-participant in Monday’s practice estimate ahead of the team’s Thursday night game in New Orleans.

Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II left the game against the Chargers to be evaluated for a concussion.
