Injuries happen every week in the NFL, but big-name bruises were especially common across the league in Week 7. Almost no position was left untouched in terms of significant names going down, and one team could be forced to make a change at quarterback depending on additional medical tests.
Here are some of the most notable injury developments from Sunday’s action:
Titans QB Ryan Tannehill: The tough veteran missed just a single snap in a close win over the rival Colts after hurting his ankle, briefly giving way to rookie third-rounder Malik Willis, but he sported a walking boot after the game, admitting his lower leg “doesn’t feel great.” It’s very possible Willis could be called upon for his first career start in Week 8 against the Texans.
Jets RB Breece Hall: The rookie standout, who broke off a long touchdown run, left in the second quarter against the Broncos with a knee injury. After leaving the field with the help of trainers, he was carted to the locker room and quickly ruled out. Michael Carter took over as the interim RB1. After the game, head coach Robert Saleh noted that the diagnosis is “not good” and the team suspects that Hall may have tore his ACL. More tests will come to confirm.
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard: Stepping in alongside D’Onta Foreman to replace Christian McCaffrey, who was traded to the 49ers on Thursday, the second-year back took advantage of big holes in an upset of the Buccaneers, but he left with an ankle injury in the fourth quarter and did not return. If he’s out for Week 8, Foreman could be in line for a big workload.
Seahawks WR DK Metcalf: The star pass catcher left the field under his own power shortly after failing to haul in an end-zone throw from Geno Smith against the Chargers. He was carted off afterward, however, and quickly ruled out with a knee injury. Marquise Goodwin stepped in opposite Tyler Lockett immediately following his departure.
Chargers WR Mike Williams: The star wideout was charted to the locker room after suffering an ankle injury in the second half of L.A.’s matchup with Seattle. Williams had his leg twisted up on a fourth-down play where he was stopped short of converting a first down. He needed assistance getting to the sideline and was unable to put any weight on his injured leg.
