If all goes well, the running back is in line to play when the Eagles host the Dallas Cowboys on "Monday Night Football."Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was also back on the practice field after sitting two games with an ankle injury. Head coach Jesse Minter said Jackson's status for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals isn't clear and he could be a game-time decision.Jackson told reporters on Friday that he's "headed in the right direction" and "we'll see" when it comes to playing this week.There was a worrying sign for the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday as wide receiver Puka Nacua left practice with a calf injury. He did not take part on Friday and head coach Sean McVay said Nacua will be listed as questionable against the Las Vegas Raiders. LA will already be without Davante Adams due to a hamstring injury.Nacua has already missed two games this season with a psoas injury.Other Week 7 injuries to monitor:San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans (ribs/Achilles) and defensive end Nick Bosa (knee/calf) did not practice on Thursday. Bosa has not practiced for almost a month after pulling his calf in practice and has already missed four games with the injury.New York Jets running back Breece Hall (quad) returned to practice on Thursday. While he was a limited participant, it's an encouraging sign for Hall, who has missed three games with the injury. He is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins.The Arizona Cardinals will not have Jeremiyah Love (ankle) available to them this week against the Denver Broncos. The running back will be sidelined for a second straight game. Head coach Mike LaFleur told the media last week that an injured reserve stint had not been discussed for Love.Baker Mayfield (thumb) is expected to return this week for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The quarterback has been out since injuring the digit in Week 3. He will not have Emeka Egbuka as one of his available weapons. The wide receiver was at practice on Friday, but remains in concussion protocol and is out for Sunday.While the Houston Texans likely won't have running back David Montgomery (groin) against the New York Giants, they will be getting back Tank Dell. The wide receiver has not played since suffering a serious knee injury in Dec. 2024. Nearly 22 months later, the 2023 third-round draft pick said he's feeling back to his old self. "I'm anxious to get back out there and play some football," he said.Here's the rest of the Week 7 injury report:ATLANTA FALCONSDB Billy Bowman Jr. (hamstring): OUTLB Divine Deablo (forearm): OUTOT Michael Jerrell (bicep): OUTRB Brian Robinson (hamstring): OUTWR Beaux Collins (hip): questionableLB Kendal Daniels (neck): questionableDT Gervon Dexter Sr. (hamstring): questionableDE Samson Ebukam (hamstring): questionableCB C.J.
