There's just one more game to be played in Week 7. The Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles will close out the week Monday night, as the division rivals play for the first time this season.
The game will cap yet another eventful week of football, one surprisingly devoid of major injuries … mostly.
Other than the devastating loss of Carolina Panthers offensive lineman Taylor Moton, most big-name players came through Week 7 pretty healthy. San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey gave fantasy mangers a scare after missing time during the team's loss to the Atlanta Falcons, though was able to return and said he would be "alright" after the game.
With injuries out of the spotlight, the most interesting development from Week 7 may have come from the Las Vegas Raiders. Following the team's loss, Raiders coach Klint Kubiak seemed to hint that a quarterback change could be coming soon. Kubiak said the team would re-evaluate "everything," even though veteran Kirk Cousins has played well.
Follow along with Yahoo Sports for the latest NFL news, injury updates and more coming out of Week 7.
Though Seattle receiver Rashid Shaheed left Sunday night's win with a knee injury, Mike Macdonald seemingly had good news about the injury this morning. In the Seahawks coach's standing Monday-morning segment on Seattle Sports radio, Macdonald said that "early returns are positive" after initial tests, via Brady Henderson of ESPN .
Shaheed, who joined the team in a trade last year before signing a three-year, $51 million extension in the offseason, has been an explosive addition as a kick returner and receiver.
Vikings veteran running back Aaron Jones reportedly avoided a serious knee injury in the team's Week 7 win over the Colts, per ESPN's Adam Schefter .
Jones is considered day-to-day.
The Packers are dealing with injury as well as insult following their Week 7 loss to the Lions. During the contest, the Packers lost center Sean Rhyan to potentially multi-week injury.
Rhyan is believed to have a high-ankle sprain, per NFL Network. If confirmed, the center would miss multiple weeks recovering from the issue.
Rhyan will undergo an MRI on Monday to evaluate the injury.
The Green Bay Packers weren't happy with a few late penalties in a loss to the Detroit Lions.
After the game, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur tried to take the high road, saying there were some "tough calls" made in the contest.
Safety Xavier McKinney was far more vocal, saying there's a lot of "s*** that doesn't make sense." And that the officials are making it harder for the Packers.
While Green Bay dealt with a few shaky calls in the game, the most egregious was a roughing the passer call that broadcaster Tom Brady disagreed with in the moment. Brady called the penalty "definitely not roughing the passer."
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey worried fantasy managers in Week 7, briefly leaving the team's loss to the Atlanta Falcons due to a thigh injury.
McCaffrey was able to return to action, though had just 39 rushing yards in the loss.
After the contest, McCaffrey said he was frustrated to be dealing with the issue, but added that he would be "alright," per CBS Sports.
"I have no idea. It sucks, because I feel like I was going on a run there, and my leg just died on me," CMC said. "I was trying to get it going for the whole rest of the game, but it just sucks trying to play like that."
He added some reassurance on his health, saying, "I know I'll be alright, but it's just really frustrating."
With McCaffrey sidelined, rookie Kaelon Black was able to score his first NFL touchdown. Black should continue to get more work if McCaffrey winds up limited by the injury moving forward.
Kirk Cousins' time as the starting quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders may be coming to an end.
Following another loss in Week 7, Raiders coach Klint Kubiak said after the game that the team was "thinking about everything" moving forward, per ESPN.
"I think at this point, we're thinking about everything to fix our problems, how to fix our issues in the red zone, in the third quarter, personnel [and] scheme," Raiders coach Klint Kubiak said, via ESPN's Ryan McFadden . "We've got to talk about all of it."
Despite what's been a pretty good performance from Cousins this season, and a late surge on Sunday afternoon, the Raiders dropped a fourth straight game this week and now sit at just 3-4. It's a stark change from the team that won three consecutive games to open the season.
With No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza waiting in the wings, it could be the right time to get the rookie some work and see what he can offer the franchise moving forward.
