Injuries are an inescapable part of life in the NFL, and the various ailments that pop up week to week often have ramifications that stretch throughout the entire season. In Week 7, several high-profile players are dealing with issues worth monitoring, particularly at the wide receiver position.
In the international window, where the Los Angeles Rams and Jacksonville Jaguars will square off in London, L.A. will be without star pass-catcher Puka Nacua, who’s dealing with an ankle injury. Meanwhile, the statuses of Washington’s Terry McLaurin and New York’s Garrett Wilson are also in doubt.

Los Angeles will be without star wideout Puka Nacua as he deals with an ankle injury suffered last week against Baltimore. Nacua did not practice at all this week, but head coach Sean McVay noted that “he’s making progress” and is optimistic the team will have him back after the Week 8 bye.
Neither Lloyd nor Morris practiced this week and both have been ruled out for Jacksonville’s London matchup. Lloyd is a particularly big loss, as his five takeaways lead the NFL entering Week 7.

Running back Chuba Hubbard (calf) logged a full practice Friday and carries no injury designation for Week 7, meaning he will make his return to the lineup after missing the past two games. Given the success of Rico Dowdle in his absence, it will be curious to see how the backfield carries are split up.
None of the players the Jets listed as doubtful, including Wilson, practiced this week. CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz reported Friday that Wilson will not play vs. Carolina. As for Carter and Weston, both practiced fully throughout the week.
