We're almost at the midway point of 2026 and it feels like the injury report is stabilizing a bit. We had a slew of injured players pop up early in the season, and while the report this week feels lighter, we still have plenty of players to monitor for fantasy football. Let's go over all the latest news and updates for the Week 7 NFL injury report.
Quarterback
Lamar Jackson, BAL (ankle)
Jalen Hurts, PHI (blood clots) — Reportedly out for season
Baker Mayfield, TB (thumb)
Jackson: The Ravens' QB has missed the past two games due to an ankle injury. Tyler Huntley has filled in and the offense has mostly been a mixed bag — good result in Week 5 against the Falcons, rough one against the Browns this past week. Jackson should have a shot at returning this week against the Bengals, providing a nice boost to the offense overall, most notably WR Zay Flowers and TE Mark Andrews.
Hurts: Reports came out on Monday morning that the Eagles QB is expected to miss the rest of season as he works to recover from blood clots in his lungs. With Hurts sidelined, Philly turned to Tanner McKee in the loss to Carolina in Week 6. He finished with 215 yards and one TD for 12.6 fantasy points. Fortunately, he was able to keep DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert afloat for fantasy managers, but the upside is clearly lacking. Saquon Barkley's eventual return will help and the Eagles have a pretty soft schedule until later in the year. Still, it's going to be tough to trust this unit for fantasy moving forward.
Mayfield: Tampa Bay may be getting its starter back in the fold soon. Reports over the weekend suggest Mayfield could be back in Week 7 against the Panthers. Mayfield pushed to play this past week in the loss to Pittsburgh, but Jalon Daniels got another start, finishing with 164 yards, one TD, two INTs and 39 rushing yards. Similar to the Eagles' situation, the Bucs' offensive upside is capped until Mayfield gets back on the field. After that, we can reassess things, considering the team didn't look great early in the season.
Running Back
Saquon Barkley, PHI (hamstring)
Jeremiyah Love, ARI (ankle)
Quinshon Judkins, CLE (ankle)
Breece Hall, NYJ (quad)
Kyle Monangai, CHI (toe)
David Montgomery, HOU (groin)
Jacory Croskey-Merritt, WAS (groin)
Jordan Mason, RB, MIN (thumb) — could come off IR this week
Josh Jacobs, GB (personal)
Barkley: Philly's lead back has been out the past two games nursing a hamstring injury. The Eagles desperately need his services given Hurts is not expected to be back this season. With Barkley (and Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley out), the Eagles turned to Dameon Pierce, who got all the work out of the backfield in Week 6 against the Panthers. He finished with just 35 yards on 12 carries, but scored a TD (13 fantasy points) to get home for managers. If Barkley remains out, Pierce won't be a bad flex play against Dallas in Week 7. If Barkley is back, expect a heavy workload with McKee under center.
Love: The rookie was ruled out for Week 6. With Love still feeling the effects of an ankle injury, the Cardinals are clearly being cautious with the first-round back. With Love sidelined, Arizona turned to Tyler Allgeier and Bam Knight against the Rams on Sunday. The duo combined for 32 carries, three catches and 146 total yards (28 receiving). Knight was the more effective rusher with 80 yards on the ground. He's going to be a trendy pickup this week, though we could see Love back in Week 7 against the Broncos. If Love remains out, both Knight and Allgeier are flex plays at best.

Wide Receiver
Mike Evans, SF (ribs)
DJ Moore, BUF (shoulder)
Rashee Rice, KC (hamstring)
Stefon Diggs, WAS (hamstring)
Ladd McConkey, LAC (concussion)
Romeo Doubs, NE (shoulder)
Deebo Samuel Sr., SF (hamstring)
Jordan Addison, MIN (hamstring)
Adonai Mitchell, NYJ (finger)
Tight End
Tyler Warren, IND (groin)
T.J. Hockenson, MIN (concussion)
Warren: The Colts added Warren to the injury report later in Week 6 and he was ruled out for the loss to Tennessee. As a result, Indy went with a three-man rotation at TE, split between Mo-Alie Cox, Drew Ogletree and Will Mallory. Cox caught a goal-line TD pass while Mallory had two catches for 20 yards. Daniel Jones and the passing game continue to struggle, so even when Warren is back, he's more of a low-end TE1 who is TD dependent.
