Week 7 Essential NFL Practice News & Notes for Friday

Oct 21, 2016

Ravens QB Joe Flacco (right shoulder, questionable) took full practice reps Friday after missing practice earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 7. The full practice indicates that Flacco will play this week. The Ravens play early on Sunday and Flacco has a nice matchup with the Jets, who have struggled against the pass all year.

49ers QB Blaine Gabbert (back) took full practice reps again Friday.

Patriots QB Jimmy Garoppolo (right shoulder) was removed from the injury report Friday.

Colts QB Andrew Luck (ankle, right shoulder) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. Luck will be fine to play.

Browns QB Josh McCown (left shoulder, out) took limited practice reps all week and is out for Week 7.

Texans QB Brock Osweiler (foot) took full practice reps again Friday. Osweiler should be fine to face his old team.

Cardinals QB Carson Palmer (hamstring, questionable) took limited practice reps again Friday and is questionable for Week 7. HC Bruce Arians said that Palmer looked “fine” at practice. He’s going to play against the Seahawks.

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (knee, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 7. Reports came out earlier this week that Roethlisberger is going to miss 4-6 weeks after knee surgery, but our source in Pittsburgh believes that he’s “playing up” the injury to look “tough” when he returns in Week 9 after the team’s bye. We’re recommending that owners stream the position and not cut ties with Roethlisberger until we see how his recovery is going around Week 9.
