NFL Week 7 updates, scores and news – The Athletic – The Athletic

Zane Gonzalez’s 49-yard field goal with 20 seconds remaining in overtime gave Arizona a huge come-from-behind win over Seattle Sunday night.

It was a wild one in the desert.

Gonzalez missed a would-be game-winner earlier in overtime after Arizona forced a Seattle punt, but Russell Wilson’s third interception of the game gave the Cardinals another chance. They took advantage, handing the Seahawks their first loss of the season.

Wilson drove Seattle down the field for a touchdown on its opening drive of the game, but Kyler Murray struck back with a 35-yard strike to DeAndre Hopkins late in the first quarter. After a Hopkins fumble in the second quarter, Arizona safety Budda Baker picked off Wilson at the goal line to prevent another Seattle score, but DK Metcalf’s hustle — and a strong effort from the Seahawks defense — kept the Cardinals out of the end zone. A 24-yard Carols Hyde run on the ensuing Seattle drive put the Seahawks up  20-7, but Murray answered with a quick 75-yard touchdown drive capped by a 7-yard pass to Christian Kirk. Just before halftime, Wilson struck again, hitting Tyler Lockett for their second touchdown of the game. Gonzalez’s 49-yard field goal to end the half made the score 27-17.

Late in the third quarter, Murray drew the Cardinals within a field goal with a 5-yard scramble, ending a 12-play, 88-yard drive. The teams traded fourth-quarter interceptions before Wilson hit Lockett for their third score with just under seven minutes left in regulation. Murray answered again, hitting Kirk for another score with less than three minutes left in the fourth. Then, after forcing the Seahawks to punt, Murray drove the Cardinals in range for a game-tying field goal from Gonzalez as time expired.

In the late afternoon games, Cam Newton was benched in Foxborough as the 49ers thrashed the Patriots, 33-6. New England is now 2-4, and there are plenty of questions swirling about the future of Bill Belichick’s franchise. Meanwhile, Tom Brady threw four touchdowns — which made him the NFL’s all-time leader — and zero interceptions in the Bucs’ win over the Raiders. Elsewhere, the Chiefs dominated the Broncos in snowy Denver with a win that included a 102-yard kickoff return from Byron Pringle. Rookie Justin Herbert had another huge game for the Chargers, throwing for three touchdowns and rushing for another in the L.A. win.

Earlier, Ryan Tannehill and the Titans trailed by 20 points in the second half but rallied to cut the Steelers’ lead to 27-24 with minutes left, got the ball back after an interception in the end zone and drove into field goal range. But Stephen Gostkowski’s 45-yard attempt was just wide to the right and Pittsburgh improved to 6-0, handing the Titans their first loss of the season. Ben Roethlisberger threw for 268 yards and two TD passes to Diontae Johnson but was intercepted three times. Tannehill was 18 for 30 for 220 yards and two TDs. The Titans are 5-1.

In the four previous matchups between unbeaten teams in Week 7 or later in the Super Bowl era, the winning team has advanced to the Super Bowl. A sign of what’s ahead for the Steelers?

Murray brings Cardinals all the way back

And just like that, the Seahawks are unbeaten no more. They lose in overtime, 37-34 to the Cardinals. — Michael-Shawn Dugar

Seahawks scored to go up two scores with 6 minutes remaining, but here we are in OT after Arizona rallied with a touchdown drive and a field as time expired in regulation. — Michael-Shawn Dugar

Kyler Murray is going to give the Seahawks trouble for the next decade. But for now, his 5-yard touchdown run cuts it to a one-score game, 27-24 in favor of the Seahawks. — Michael-Shawn Dugar

Seattle’s non-Chris Carson designed runs haven’t been super great this season. The 5 Carlos Hyde carries today have been a pleasant surprise for Seattle. Gonna need more of those if Chris Carson can’t return because of that foot injury. — Michael-Shawn Dugar

Russell Wilson threw a bad interception on the goal line. Thankfully, DK Metcalf chased Budda Baker down 90 yards to make a play. Four plays later, Arizona doesn’t score. Coaches will be showing that film all week. — Michael-Shawn Dugar

Jason Myers had two field-goal attempts entering this game. Now, he has two successful tries today. It’s 13-7 seahawks in the second quarter. — Michael-Shawn Dugar

How good has Seattle’s offense been this year? That was only Jason Myers’ third field goal attempt of the season. He’s made all three and Seattle leads 10-0. — Michael-Shawn Dugar

This is why people wanted Pete Carroll to open the game with Russell Wilson running the show. Team marches 75 yards and scores a touchdown with five passes against just one run — and Wilson was perfect the whole way. — Michael-Shawn Dugar

Titans’ rally falls short, Steelers stay unbeaten

FINAL: Steelers 27, Titans 24 That’s a brutal way for an unbeaten start to end. Tennessee roared all the way back from down 27-7 and had first down at the Pittsburgh 25-yard line before an intentional grounding penalty derailed a potential game-winning drive. Then Stephen Gostkowski, who has gone from goat to GOAT and back again, pushed a 45-yard field goal wide right with 19 seconds left. — Kyle Tucker

Buckle up. Pittsburgh marched all the way down the field, but an offensive pass interference penalty made it third-and-13 from the Titans’ 20, and backup safety Amani Hooker picked off the next pass in the end zone with 2:35 to go. Tennessee, once trailing 27-7, is down three with the ball and a chance. — Kyle Tucker

It’s a wild one. Derrick Henry just went over the top from inside the 1 and it’s Steelers 27, Titans 24 with 10:13 left in the game. That’s 17 straight points for the Titans after a 12-play, 70-yard drive. And Henry was the star of the drive with 43 yards on eight carries. Finally, we have a game living up to two unbeatens. — Joe Rexrode

Just when it looked like the Titans were toast … a 73-yard A.J. Brown catch and run. … Jadeveon Clowney goes from not putting weight on his left knee to returning to the game … and Jeffery Simmons tips a Ben Roethlisberger pass into the hands of teammate Jayon Brown. — Joe Rexrode

Steelers 27, Titans 14, 9:36 3Q Tennessee has (a little) life. With nothing really working, the Titans went max-protect, with a tight end in to block on both sides of the line, and then streaked wide receiver A.J. Brown across the middle. Ryan Tannehill hit him in stride and Brown accelerated away for a 73-yard touchdown. The only problem: No rest for a beat-up and worn-out defense. — Kyle Tucker

Jadeveon Clowney appeared to be seriously injured on a third-quarter play, needing two trainers to help him off because he couldn’t put any weight on his left leg. He went to the injury tent, and seconds later was able to walk to a bike and start pedaling. Then he got off, buckled in apparent pain, and was looked at again. And now? He has his helmet on, though he’s listed as questionable. — Joe Rexrode

Steelers 24, Titans 7, 0:52 2Q Tennessee had a chance to score before the half and get the ball back to open the third quarter. Instead, the Titans went three-and-out and gave up a 57-yard punt return to set up Pittsburgh’s 9-yard touchdown pass (on which Johnathan Joseph whiffed the open-field tackle). That’s 38 plays for 228 yards by the Steelers, 18 plays for 76 yards by the Titans. Brutal. — Kyle Tucker

Call that an absolute win for this Titans defense, allowing the Steelers to drive 55 yards in seven plays for a field goal. That means — yes, it’s true — the Titans got a third-down stop to force the Chris Boswell 38-yarder that put his team up 17-7. That was the first stop on third down in eight tries for the Titans. — Joe Rexrode

Cam Sutton late in getting over on that TD pass. Titans cut the Steelers lead to 14-7, thanks to a tipped pass completion on third-and-9. — Ed Bouchette

After 17 minutes and 44 seconds of play: Steelers 14, Titans 0. Steelers 161 total yards, Titans 1. Steelers 7 for 7 on third down. Steelers 29 offensive plays, Titans 3. Steelers 16:23 of possession, Titans 1:21. — Joe Rexrode

END FIRST QUARTER: Steelers 7, Titans 0 But it’s much worse than that. Pittsburgh just converted its sixth third down in as many tries today and will have first down at the Tennessee 31-yard line when play resumes. The Steelers have run 22 plays for 130 yards. The Titans have run three plays for a single yard. This is an ass-whuppin’ in progress. — Kyle Tucker

Ben Roethlisberger 10 of 12 for 84 yards on a 75-yard drive because of 2 penalties. TD To Diontae Johnson of 11. Steelers end streak at 23 of 0 TDs on opening drives. — Ed Bouchette

Brady throws four touchdowns in Bucs’ win over Raiders

It’s a final in Las Vegas, as the Bucs pulled away to a 45-20 win over the Raiders to improve to 5-2 on the year. Tom Brady matched his season high with 369 yards, threw for four touchdowns and ran for a fifth. In his last five games, he now has 15 touchdowns against just one interception. — Greg Auman

The Bucs saw the Raiders get within four points in the fourth quarter, but two touchdowns in a span of 42 seconds have put the game away. Tom Brady threw a 3-yard touchdown to Chris Godwin to extend the lead, and after the first career interception by Bucs rookie safety Antoine Winfield, the Bucs got a 1-yard touchdown from Ronald Jones. They lead the Raiders 38-20 with six minutes left. — Greg Auman

Another strong second quarter for the Bucs, as they bounced back from a 7-0 early deficit and lead the Raiders 21-10 at halftime in Las Vegas. Tom Brady has been sharp again, rushing for one score and throwing for 205 yards and two more scores, to Rob Gronkowski and Scotty Miller. The latter was a 33-yard score with 17 seconds left to cap an 88-yard touchdown drive just before halftime. — Greg Auman 

Raiders trail the Bucs 21-10 going into halftime. The offense has stalled after back-to-back scoring drives to start the game. It’s been more of the same for the defense, which gave up touchdowns on 3 of Tampa Bay’s final 4 drives. — Tashan Reed

Tom Brady to Scotty Miller for a touchdown just before halftime — Bucs up 20-10, PAT coming. Down 7-0, Bucs have taken control of the game, like they did last week after 10-0 deficit against Packers. — Greg Auman

Lions score on final play, beat Falcons

Matthew Stafford’s first pass on the Lions’ final drive was incomplete. He spiked it three times. His other four throws: 13 yards, 22 yards, 29 yards, 11 yards and a last-second TD. An unbelievable mistake by Todd Gurley gives Detroit a last chance, and the offense cashes it in. A heart-stopping 23-22 win bumps the Lions back to .500 and … well, wow. This just got interesting. — Chris Burke

I don’t even know where to start: first the Falcons score with too much time on the clock to take the lead. Then, with 1:06 on the clock the Lions march down the field and score before hitting the XP to win 23-22. I’m so tired. — Tori McElhaney

After missing a 46-yard FG, Prater hits the 49-yarder after the Detroit defense comes up with the strip sack to give the offense the ball back. Lions up 16-14 with less than three minutes to go in this game. — Tori McElhaney

You wanna talk bend-don’t-break defense? How about the Falcons putting together a 13-play, 81-yard drive, eating up almost seven minutes … and not scoring. Interim coach Raheem Morris rolled the dice on 4th-and-5, rather than take a 17-13 lead, and the Lions answered the bell. Great pass break-up by Trey Flowers to prevent a conversion. — Chris Burke

Another big stop from the Falcons defense in the Lions first drive of the second half. This time it’s Deion Jones with the sack on third down. Detroit still comes away with points, though. Prater hits the 51-yarder. Falcons 14, Lions 13 — Tori McElhaney

Big response from the Lions before halftime, driving into field-goal range with just 29 seconds to work. Matt Prater absolutely bombed one from 50 yards out to make it 14-10 — a good sign, given that Prater has struggled from deep this year. — Chris Burke

The Falcons tie it up on a 13-play, 89-yard drive. The Lions really only had two chances to get off the field: A fourth-and-1 at midfield, when they forgot to cover Hayden Hurst; and a third-and-9 near the red zone, which Atlanta converted via a Jeff Okudah interference call. Very few of those favorable down-and-distance setups that have allowed the Lions to bring pressure. — Chris Burke

Patriots bench Newton in blowout loss to 49ers

Looks like a left ankle injury for Jeff Wilson. Team has had four guys go down with high ankle sprain this year: Garoppolo, Ben Garland, Raheem Mostert and Kwon Alexander. — Matt Barrows

Kyle Shanahan has obviously been plotting his vengeance against mentor Bill Belichick since the disastrous blown lead in the Super Bowl to close the 2016 season. The 49ers are stomping the Patriots 23-3 at halftime. Yards: SF 301, NE 59 Yards per play: SF 7.5, NE 3.7 Yards per rush: SF 6.4, NE 3.6 Yards per pass: SF 8.7, NE 3.8 Play count: SF 40, NE 16 TOP: SF: 22:30, NE 7:30 — David Lombardi 

This is the 49ers’ third game in the Northeast this season and… at halftime of their complete 23-3 stomping of the Patriots so far, the 49ers’ combined score at the Jets, Giants and Patriots right now is… 90-25 — Tim Kawakami

Patriots were preparing for an offense that likes to attack the edges. Kyle Shanahan has countered with runners — Jeff Wilson, Kyle Juszczyk — who like to pound it through the middle. Your move, BB. — Matt Barrows

49ers had 37 runs last week. They have 14 five minutes into the second quarter. — Matt Barrows

Quarterbacks throwing at Devin McCourty since Week 2: 0 of 6, two interceptions (one returned for TD), three pass breakups.— Jeff Howe

Mayfield wins high-scoring duel vs. Burrow

Baker Mayfield to Donovan Peoples-Jones for a TD with 11 seconds left swings this one again. What a wild game. Browns up 37-34. And Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo may not survive to see another game. — Jay Morrison

Joe Burrow answers again as part of the best game of his career. He drives the Bengals 75 yards in 10 plays and hits Giovani Bernard for a 3-yard TD on fourth inches. Bengals lead 34-31 with 1:06 to go and Burrow is at 406 yards passing. — Jay Morrison

Since an 0 for 5 start, Baker Mayfield is 18 of 18 for 222 yards and four touchdowns, His latest throw is an 8-yard TD to Kareem Hunt to put the Browns back in front 31-27. The 18 consecutive completions is a Browns franchise record. Jarvis Landry also has a 19-yard pass in that stretch, coming on the last drive. — Jay Morrison

After the Browns take the lead on Baker Mayfield’s TD pass to David Njoku, Joe Burrow drives the Bengals 80 yards in 12 plays to reclaim the lead on a TD pass to Tee Higgins. It’s 27-24 Bengals with 8:45 to go — Jay Morrison

After an 0-5 start in the first quarter, Baker Mayfield has completed 15 straight passes, three for touchdowns, and the Browns have their first lead of the game, 24-20, with 13:13 left. — Zac Jackson

The Browns put together their best drive of the game to open the second half, going 75 yards in 9 plays with Baker Mayfield throwing his second touchdown pass to rookie tight end Harrison Bryant to tie it at 17-17. — Jay Morrison

Down two offensive linemen to injuries – LT Jonah Williams and C Trey Hopkins – Joe Burrow leads a 10-play, 75-yard TD drive, throwing a dart to Tyler Boyd, who was draped in coverage. Burrow uses up all but the final 15 seconds of the first half, and the Bengals will get the ball first in the third quarter. — Jay Morrison

The Browns go 75 yards in 11 plays, mostly on the ground, to tie the game on Baker Mayfield’s 3-yard TD pass to Harrison Bryant, beating Bengals safety Vonn Bell, who has struggled in coverage for the last few weeks. It’s 10-10 with 3:39 left before halftime. — Jay Morrison

Bengals left tackle Jonah Williams, who already has been beaten by Myles Garrett for a strip sack of Joe Burrow, has gone into the locker room. He was in the medical tent and appeared to be undergoing concussion protocol. Fred Johnson, whom Garrett victimized at right guard in the first meeting this year, likely will replace Williams. — Jay Morrison

Per the Browns, it’s a knee injury for Odell Beckham Jr. His return is officially questionable and he remained in the locker room for the Browns’ second offensive possession. Center J.C. Tretter returned to the field despite limping off after the first drive. — Zac Jackson

It’s been a nightmarish start for the Browns. Baker Mayfield threw an interception on his first pass for the second week in a row, and both Odell Beckham Jr. and J.C. Tretter were injured on the play. The Bengals scored on a Joe Burrow sneak a few plays later to take an early 7-0 lead. — Zac Jackson

Chiefs blow out Broncos in snowy Denver

The Broncos just committed their fourth turnover of the day — two Gordon fumbles and Lock’s two interceptions. Add in the 102-yard kickoff return touchdown they gave up and it’s a small wonder they trail by just 21 points two minutes into the fourth quarter. — Nick Kosmider

The Broncos trail the Chiefs 24-9 at halftime. Denver is in a 15-point hole despite rushing for 121 yards on just 18 carries and despite the Broncos’ defense holding Kansas City’s offense to just 10 points and an 0-of-3 mark on third downs. But Daniel Sorensen’s pick-six of Drew Lock and Byron Pringle’s 102 yard kickoff return have made all that moot. — Nick Kosmider

Phillip Lindsay now has seven carries for 73 yards. There really should be no question about who Denver’s leading back is right now. His find-a-crease-and-go game profiles well in this weather. Key is for Denver to keep it close so that feeding Lindsay can remain key part of game plan. Down 17-9 with 5:49 left in the second quarter, Denver’s defense needs a stop on this series. — Nick Kosmider

Broncos got back into the game by forcing a turnover, but they just gave it right back. Throwing off his back foot in the face of pressure, Drew Lock throws a pick-six. Tried to squeeze the pass into Noah Fant, but Daniel Sorensen read it all the way and returned it 50 yards for a TD. Chiefs up 17-6 with 9:18 to go in the second quarter. Three picks in the last three quarters for Lock. — Nick Kosmider

What a rough couple weeks for Melvin Gordon. An arrest for suspicion of driving under the influence. Strep throat that kept him from traveling to New England. Now a fumble in minus territory for the second time on this field this season. To this point — and there is a lot of season left — the lucrative signing simply hasn’t worked out. — Nick Kosmider

Bradley Chubb is all the way back. His sack of Patrick Mahomes on third down deep inside Denver territory forces the Chiefs to settle for a field goal — and a 10-6 lead with 2:04 left in the first quarter — after an impressive drive. Chubb now has 4 1/2 sacks in his last nine quarters of football. — Nick Kosmider

Give some credit to Broncos offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur. Broncos were converting touchdowns on just 40 percent of their red-zone drives (6-of-15) heading into that last drive. The option run from the 2-yard line by Lock was certainly a new look. Broncos take advantage of their fourth takeaway in the last five quarters. — Nick Kosmider

This is your friendly reminder that today is the 1st game in Mitchell Schwartz’s 9-year career that he’s not starting. He had started 134 consecutive games. — Nate Taylor

Saints hold off Panthers for win

Panthers fall just short 27-24 as Joey Slye’s 65-yard FG try comes up just short. They allowed a franchise-worst 85.7 percent conversion rate on third down. They are 3-4. — Joe Person

Joey Slye comes up just short on a 65-yard FG try, which would have been the longest in NFL history. Panthers thought it was good off his foot. — Joe Person

Great drive by the Panthers. I like how Joe Brady went with the quick snap after Ian Thomas’ third-down conversion. The play was also well-blocked and Curtis Samuel slices in for 5-yard TD run. Tied at 24-all. — Joe Person

Panthers get their first third-down stop, aided by an OPI call, and Saints settle for a 41-yard FG by Lutz. New Orleans leads 24-17. — Joe Person

Do you know what I’ll miss most about Drew Brees when he retires? Watching him run the two-minute offense. He was essentially perfect in this particular situation, even when the Saints took the risky move of trying to go for the TD instead of a FG with no timeouts and 4 seconds left, and it worked. Absolutely vintage Drew Brees, and gives the Saints a 21-17 lead to end the half. — Katherine Terrell

Red-zone success for the Panthers on an end-around, 7-yard TD run (play actually goes down as a reception) by DJ Moore. Great lead block by Mike Davis. Panthers 17-14 with 1:37 left in the 1H. — Joe Person

Blown coverage leaves DJ Moore wide open for a 74-yard TD catch. A lot of talk this week about Moore and Teddy Bridgewater not being on the same page. Good omen? Panthers trail 14-10. — Joe Person

Drew Brees’ first two drives: 10-of-11 for 84 yards and a TD. 1 carry for 1 yard and a TD. Saints lead 14-3. — Joe Person

Terrific catch by Jared Cook. Tre Boston had decent coverage, but never got his head turned around. 4-yard score caps a 14-play, 75-yard opening drive by the Saints. — Joe Person

Bills pick off Darnold, beat Jets

Jerry Hughes intercepts Sam Darnold, and the Bills will escape this game with an 18-10 win. The Bills are fortunate they played against Darnold and the Jets today. That performance wouldn’t have been good enough to beat many NFL teams, but the Bills happened to be playing the worst one today. — Matthew Fairburn

The Bills’ offense has to settle for another field goal. Tyler Bass now has four field goals today, and the Bills have a 12-10 lead. Buffalo got the running game going a bit on that drive. Bills have a chance to escape this one with a win despite an uninspiring offensive showing. — Matthew Fairburn

It’s a bit surprising to see the Jets leading the Bills 10-3, but if Buffalo is having issues, teams within their division should be pretty well prepared from a game-planning standpoint to take advantage of those issues. It’s an easier prep week within the division. Still surprising to see the Jets do anything against anyone! — Mike Sando

The Bills allow a seven-play, 80-yard touchdown drive and now trail the Jets 10-0. The 0-6 Jets haven’t had a lead this big all season long. Embarrassing first half for Buffalo. — Matthew Fairburn

Packers roll over Texans

David Johnson is having a career-worst season as a receiver, but he made two catches on that drive, including his first TD grab as a Texan. Packers up 21-7, 8:55 3Q — Aaron Reiss

The Packers lead the Texans 21-0 at halftime. Aaron Rodgers is 16-of-21 for 197 yards and three TD passes. Both Jace Sternberger and Malik Taylor caught their first career regular-season TD passes in the first half. Thanks to a missed 41-yard FG, the Packers are pitching a shutout at half. Best half of the season for Green Bay through five and a half games. — Matt Schneidman

Well, I thought this would be a shootout, but nope. Packers 21, Texans 0 at the half. This is the first time since Week 11 2019 (vs. Baltimore) that Houston has been shutout through two quarters. — Aaron Reiss

Believe it or not, that three-yard Davante Adams catch is the first TD the Texans’ terrible defense has given up on an opening possession this season. — Aaron Reiss

Washington finishes off Cowboys

Washington beats the Dallas Cowboys, 25-3, and moves to 2-5 going into the bye. The WFT is now a half game out of first place in the NFC East — Rhiannon Walker

The cart is coming out for Andy Dalton. Jon Bostic with the 15-yard penalty and he’s DQ’d from the game, too. Ben DiNucci is Dallas’ new starting QB. Andy Dalton is being walked to the tunnel very slowly with his arms around the trainers. No helmet — Rhiannon Walker

Coming into this game, Washington scored all of 44 first-half points. In one half of football against the Dallas Cowboys, the WFT has half of that with 22 points. This is also the first game since Week 1 against the Eagles that Washington has scored more than 20 points. — Rhiannon Walker

Landon Collins OUT with an ankle injury. — Rhiannon Walker

The Cowboys continue to play poorly in just about all areas. The possibility of a 2-14 season is real. End of the first quarter: Washington 9, Dallas 3. Total yards in the first quarter: Washington: 138; Dallas: 6 — Jon Machota

Antonio Gibson gets into the end zone this time around, after running out of juice on his 40-yard run the previous drive. He runs 12-yards to the house, untouched and Washington leads, 9-0. — Rhiannon Walker

Inactive lists, lineups, injury news

Seattle Seahawks: Some fairly good news with the Seahawks inactives tonight: no surprises. Jamal Adams, Mike Iupati, Kyle Fuller, Penny Hart, Luke Willson and Anthony Rush will not play.

San Francisco 49ers: Looks like a left ankle injury for Jeff Wilson. Team has had four guys go down with high ankle sprain this year: Garoppolo, Ben Garland, Raheem Mostert and Kwon Alexander.

Denver Broncos: Lindsay took a major shot to the head from Sorensen. Heading into the blue tent. Chiefs players were calling for Denver’s training staff right away after Lindsay went down. —Phillip Lindsay

Packers: I understand the hype for AJ Dillon, and maybe he has a nice day, but Jamaal Williams is RB1 today with Aaron Jones out. The Packers trust Williams more than Dillon right now, especially as a pass catcher. Aaron Rodgers *loves* Williams. I don’t expect an even split of touches between the two. — Matt Schneidman

Steelers: No surprises on Steelers inactives today: Dobbs, Hilton Watt, Davis, Gray, Gentry, Buggs — Ed Bouchette

Titans: Rookie first-round pick Isaiah Wilson returned to the practice field this week, but he’s inactive for the Titans even though Taylor Lewan is lost with a torn ACL.

Washington: Washington’s inactives for Week 7: QB Dwayne Haskins WR Isaiah Wright WR Robert Foster OT Geron Christian DL James Smith-Williams DE Casey Toohill LB Thomas Davis Lucas at LT. Tony Brown, signed to the 53, is WR4 + practice-squader Jeff Badet elevated. — Ben Standig

Browns: No surprise inactives for the Browns today in Cincy but one notable announcement from the team: Ronnie Harrison is slated to start at strong safety despite Karl Joseph being active. Joseph missed the last two games with a hamstring injury. Chris Hubbard is back at RG as Wyatt Teller is missing a second straight game due to a calf injury. — Zac Jackson

Falcons: Takk McKinley will play today for the Falcons. He’s been out for the last few weeks with a nagging groin injury but is finally off the inactives list today for Detroit. Falcons inactives are as expected: Jordan Miller, Qadree Ollison, Jaylinn Hawkins, John Wetzel and Deadrin Senat. — Tori McElhaney

Lions: Lions’ inactives Sunday at Atlanta: CB Desmond Trufant S Miles Killebrew WR Quintez Cephus RB Bo Scarbrough G Logan Stenberg QB David Blough Mike Ford returns to the lineup. — Chris Burke

Cowboys: The Cowboys have placed OT Brandon Knight on injured reserve. OT Cameron Erving has been moved from IR to the active roster. OT Jordan Mills and C Adam Redmond have been elevated from the practice squad. DE Randy Gregory is expected to play in his first game since the 2018 season. “He’s definitely had a good week,” Mike McCarthy said, “and he’s definitely worthy of being (active Sunday).” — Jon Machota
