What does the Week 7 injury report look like?

Sunday of Week 7, and the injury report is doing its usual thing: 6 Questionable tags on players that matter, 10 already ruled Out. Here's who to check first, and who actually played the last time each one sat, so you're not guessing at 12:55.

We list every QB, RB, WR and TE rostered in at least 20% of leagues or averaging 50%+ of his team's snaps whose status isn't Healthy, from the GridIron API's /players data. CHI and NE already played Week 7, so their players are left out. The "who played" column comes from Week 6 snap share: if the player sat that week, it names the teammate whose share jumped; otherwise the teammate next in line by snaps.

Which Questionable players should you check first?

What it means for your lineup

• Settle Puka Nacua (LAR) before his kickoff: Questionable, 84% of snaps when he plays. Next in line by Week 6 snaps: Konata Mumpfield at 47%.
• Settle Saquon Barkley (PHI) before his kickoff: Questionable, 42% of snaps when he plays. The last time he was out, Dameon Pierce took the job, 77% to 95% of snaps in Week 6.
• Breece Hall carries the week's most-rostered question mark at 98% rostered. He's played 57% of snaps this season, so his inactive call moves real lineups. When he sat in Week 6, Braelon Allen went from 61% to 87% of snaps: that's your pivot.
• Settle Baker Mayfield (TB) before his kickoff: Questionable, 98% of snaps when he plays. Have a same-position backup who plays later in the day.
• Tank Dell (WR, HOU) is Questionable and hasn't played a snap yet this season. At 31% rostered, a lot of lineups are waiting on this one. Next in line by Week 6 snaps: Nico Collins at 73%.

Who is Doubtful or Out, and who replaces them?

Who gets the snaps?

• Out for Lamar Jackson, rostered in 100% of leagues. Plan without him and replace him with a player who has a role, not a name.
• Rashee Rice (WR, KC) is Out. The last time he was out, Jalen Royals took the job, 32% to 74% of snaps in Week 6.
• Out for Jeremiyah Love, rostered in 99% of leagues. The last time he was out, Bam Knight took the job, 6% to 44% of snaps in Week 6.
• Out for Tyler Warren, rostered in 99% of leagues. His snaps go looking for a home; Will Mallory played 52% of them in Week 6.
• DeVonta Smith (WR, PHI) is Out. His snaps go looking for a home; Darius Cooper played 61% of them in Week 6.

Who is on a reserve list?

These players are on IR or another reserve list and can't play this week: Davante Adams (LAR, IR), Jalen Hurts (PHI, IR), Jadarian Price (SEA, IR), Andrei Iosivas (CIN, IR), Tyquan Thornton (KC, IR), Josh Oliver (MIN, IR). If you're still starting one of them out of habit, that's the easiest fix you'll make all day.

What changed on the injury report this week?

177 status changes were recorded between Monday, October 19 at 9:06 am ET and Sunday, October 25 at 9:06 am ET. These are the flips the Pro feed returned; each one is a lineup decision someone had to make.

When do Sunday inactives land in the data?

Teams announce inactives about 90 minutes before kickoff, and our injury data refreshes right after each wave. This page is the morning picture; the statuses above can change at each run.

Pro: /injuries/changes returns just the players whose status flipped, about 10 minutes after each run. See the game-day injury guide for a poller that alerts on your roster.

How can I check my own roster's statuses?

One call per player on the free plan. Run it after each Sunday refresh and you'll see the same statuses this page shows:

import requests

API = "https://api.gridirondata.com/api/v1"
H = {"x-api-key": "YOUR_KEY"}
MY_TEAM = {"Puka Nacua#WR", "Jaylen Warren#RB", "Brock Bowers#TE"}

for pid in MY_TEAM:
    p = requests.get(f"{API}/players/{requests.utils.quote(pid)}", headers=H).json()
    status = p.get("seasons", {}).get("2026", {}).get("injury_status") or "Healthy"
    print(f"{pid:28} {status}")

Three players is three requests. Checking a full 15-man roster after all three Sunday runs is 45, nearly all of the free plan's 50 a month, so try it on the free plan and move to Basic (5,000 a month) to run it every week.

Frequently asked questions

When are NFL inactives announced?

About 90 minutes before each kickoff. On Sundays our injury data refreshes at 12:45, 3:50 and 7:45 pm ET, after each wave, and status changes land in the Pro feed about 10 minutes later.

Is this page updated during the games?

No. It shows the injury report as of Sunday, October 25 at 9:04 am ET. For the flips after that, re-pull /players after each refresh, or poll /injuries/changes with a Pro key.

What does Questionable mean for my lineup?

That the team hasn't ruled him in or out. Wait for the inactives run for his game, and keep a same-position backup who plays later in the day so a late scratch doesn't cost you a zero.

Why are some injured players missing from this list?

We list players rostered in at least 20% of leagues or averaging 50%+ of snaps, and we leave out teams that already played this week (CHI and NE).
