The high ankle sprain that has been bothering Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor will keep him out of the lineup for Week 7.
Taylor has not played since Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers and has yet to return to the practice field.
“Once they said high ankle, I knew high ankles are usually four to six (weeks), but you know, me, attacking different rehabs and injuries, I was like, ‘There’s no way,'” Taylor said Thursday. “I’ve just got to do everything in my power to keep chopping that down every single day.”
Meanwhile, quarterback Anthony Richardson (oblique) will start after missing the last two games.
Marvin Harrison Jr. has cleared concussion protocol and is in line to play Monday night against the Los Angeles Charges, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Harrison suffered a concussion in Week 6 and wore a non-contact jersey in practice this week. Head coach Jonathan Gannon said it was “really encouraging” to see the rookie back on the field.
Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray targeted Harrison on a pass over the middle in the second quarter of their 34-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander broke up the pass and knocked Harrison to the turf. As Harrison fell, the crown of his helmet hit linebacker Isaiah McDuffie in the thigh, sending his head snapping backward.
Harrison got up after the hit, clearly dazed. He immediately fell back to the turf.
He went to the sideline medical tent and then left for the locker room with athletic trainers. The Cardinals announced before halftime that he was being evaluated for a concussion and ruled him out before the start of the third quarter.
The New York Giants welcomed wide receiver Malik Nabers back to practice on Thursday. The rookie wideout was a full participant and visited an independent neurological consultant afterward, who cleared him from concussion protocol.
Nabers suffered a concussion during the Giants’ Week 4 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He’s missed the past two games but looks set to return for Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp was back at practice this week for the first time since Week 2. Kupp suffered a high ankle sprain but could return Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Rams head coach Sean McVay said Kupp is questionable and a decision on whether he’ll play will come Sunday morning.
“If he’s going to be ready to go, then we want him to play and if not, then we’re hopeful that Thursday [vs. Minnesota] would be the day that he does,” McVay said this week.
Here’s the rest of the Week 7 injury report.
