NFL Week 7 injury roundup: Lions’ David Montgomery helped off field; Patriots, Jaguars lose OL in London

Injuries are an unfortunate inevitability in the NFL, and Week 7 is no exception. The injury bug has taken its fair share of bites across the league this season, and we’re seeing that continue this week with a handful of notable players going down. 

In the early window between the Patriots and Jaguars from London, both clubs lost starting offensive linemen. For Jacksonville, starting left tackle Cam Robinson left with a concussion, while the Patriots lost starting right guard Layden Robinson due to an ankle injury. 

Below is an updated team-by-team list of all the other key Week 7 injuries around the league.

Buffalo Bills

• Curtis Samuel (shoulder): The Bills wideout is questionable to return due to a shoulder injury he suffered in the opening quarter of Buffalo’s matchup with the Titans.

Cleveland Browns

• Deshaun Watson (leg): The Browns starting quarterback suffered a non-contact injury with less than two minutes remaining in the first half of the team’s Week 7 matchup with the Bengals. Watson was down on the ground in noticeable pain before being carted off. Dorian Thompson-Robinson is the backup.

Detroit Lions

• David Montgomery (leg): The Lions running back returned to action in the opening minutes of the second quarter after he was questionable to return to Sunday’s action due to a knee injury. 

Jacksonville Jaguars

• Cam Robinson (concussion): Jacksonville’s starting left tackle left in the first half of the club’s Week 7 game against New England in London. Initially, the team said he was being evaluated for a concussion, and later ruled out once that diagnosis was confirmed. 

New England Patriots

• Layden Robinson (ankle): New England’s starting right guard suffered the injury in the first half and was initially ruled as questionable to return. In the opening minutes of the third quarter, he was downgraded to out. 
• DeMario Douglas (illness): The Patriots wideout was listed as questionable to return to the team’s Week 7 matchup against the Jaguars. As NFL Media reports, Douglas woke up sick and took anti-nausea medicine and an IV, but appears to be slowed because of this illness.
• Ja’Lynn Polk (head): Polk suffered a head injury late in the Week 7 matchup and was officially ruled as questionable to return. 

Philadelphia Eagles

• Mekhi Becton (concussion): The Eagles offensive tackle has been ruled out due to a concussion.
