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. He was limited for a second straight day on Thursday, but took part in drills ahead of Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.There was a worrying sign for the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday as wide receiver Puka Nacua left practice with a calf injury. He was listed as limited three days before the Rams, who will already be without wideout Davante Adams (hamstring), face the Las Vegas Raiders.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. The Arizona Cardinals are not expecting to have Jeremiyah Love (ankle) available to them this week against the Denver Broncos. The running back will reportedly 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) could return this week for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The quarterback has been out since injuring the digit in Week 3. He returned to practice on Wednesday and head coach Todd Bowles said he wants to see what Mayfield looks like on Friday before making a decision on his availability for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Whoever is at quarterback for Tampa this week may not have wideout Emeka Egbuka, who is in concussion protocol.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 (players will be added as teams release their reports):ATLANTA FALCONSARIZONA CARDINALSBALTIMORE RAVENSCAROLINA PANTHERSOLB Jaelan Phillips (hamstring): OUTCINCINNATI BENGALSCLEVELAND BROWNSDALLAS COWBOYSDENVER BRONCOSDETROIT LIONSGREEN BAY PACKERSHOUSTON TEXANSINDIANAPOLIS COLTSKANSAS CITY CHIEFSLAS VEGAS RAIDERSLOS ANGELES RAMSMIAMI DOLPHINSMINNESOTA VIKINGSNEW ORLEANS SAINTSNEW YORK GIANTSNEW YORK JETSPHILADELPHIA EAGLESPITTSBURGH STEELERSCB Brandin Echols (hamstring): OUTWR Ben Skowronek (calf): OUTSAN FRANCISCO 49ERSSEATTLE SEAHAWKSTAMPA BAY BUCCANEERSTENNESSEE TITANSNFL injury updates live
