Mike Washington logs seven carries in blowout

Whether Washington plays all that much remains to be seen. He is not a recommended FLEX starter. Raiders coach Klint Kubiak has misdirected at times with injury-related comments. The Raiders declared DT Thomas Booker IV, DE Cian Slone, S Dalton Johnson, DT Jonah Laulu, G Bryan Cabeldue, S Tristin McCollum and QB Aidan O’Connell inactive for Week 7 against the Rams. O’Connell will serve as the emergency third quarterback.

Ioane exited late in the first quarter of Sunday’s game and was ruled out shortly after halftime. The rookie first-rounder appeared on 16 snaps and has started every game for the Ravens this season, splitting time between right guard and center. He was replaced by Emery Jones.

Baker was reportedly good to go as of this morning, so this doesn’t come as much of a surprise. Even in his 10th NFL season, Baker is still wreaking havoc on opposing offenses. He has four pass breakups, one pick, and 3.5 sacks this year. Inactive for the Cardinals are RB Jeremiyah Love, QB Carson Beck, DT Walter Nolen III, S Andrew Wingard, OL Jon Gaines, CB Max Melton, and OL Albert Reese.

McCaffrey was injured on the first drive of the game when the 49ers scored a touchdown. The training staff was working on his thigh before he jogged into the locker room in the second quarter and was listed as questionable to return. It was a 14-3 49ers lead when McCaffrey went into the locker room, and it’s 19-14 in favor of the Falcons now, so the team is gonna see if their star running back can get them back in front.

Surtain is expected to return for a crucial matchup with the Chiefs next week. The Broncos will be without one of the league’s superstar corners in the meantime. Surtain’s absence should make life a little easier for Michael Wilson, who is in the midst of a two-game slump.

Outside linebacker Jonathon Cooper is also active. Coleman hasn’t played since Week 2, when he turned 10 carries into 39 yards and a score. The Broncos were banged up at running back that week. They have since established a stable two-man rotation with JK Dobbins operating between the tackles and RJ Harvey handling passing downs. Coleman will likely take a backseat to those two this week.

Tracy had six carries for 15 yards and a touchdown before leaving, adding a two-yard catch on his only target. He was spotted in pads on the sideline, stretching his legs, so it looks like there’s a non-zero chance he returns.

McCaffrey was used heavily on the first drive with the 49ers down so many offensive players, and he came out of that drive with a touchdown but also a thigh injury. The trainers worked on him on the sideline for two drives before finally bringing him into the medical tent. The 49ers do have a bye next week, so they could try to get him back into the game, but they are also up 14-3 at this point, so the Falcons will likely need to get the game closer. Kaelon Black will continue to see a workhorse role while CMC is sidelined.

Reporting from the sideline of Sunday’s Ravens vs. Bengals game, Wolfson reports that Ravens head coach Jesse Minter told her Jackson would play in Week 8. According to Wolfson, the late decision to sit Jackson this week came after the team had a chance to review footage of Jackson in practice. Minter said Jackson still didn’t look like himself in practice, which is why the team opted to give him one more week away. This is the first time Minter has committed to Jackson returning, so hopefully this is a good sign for his Week 8 availability. We will, of course, be monitoring his practice throughout the week until he is fully removed from the injury report.
