🚨 MEDICAL UPDATE: Jahmyr Gibbs appeared to take a significant hit to the shoulder late in the game. The mechanism raises concern for a potential AC joint sprain or other shoulder-girdle injury. Further evaluation would be needed to determine the extent of any structural damage.

Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs (shoulder) and WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) were listed as non-participants at today’s practice.

🚨 INJURY CONCERN: Jahmyr Gibbs

Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs landed awkwardly on his final carry, raising concerns about a potential lower-body injury.

The awkward landing could warrant further evaluation. Could potentially sideline Gibbs for 3–4 weeks, depending on the findings.

@DonaldParhamSR Sorry Don, was on the operating table last night. I think you can hold on to Tyler Warren, avoided IT. I expect him to be back up and practicing next week.

[Gatthew Margolis, M.D. @DrGattM]

Calf injuries can be difficult to manage without adequate recovery time. Unless he makes significant progress before Sunday, Puka Nacua is trending toward missing the game.🚨

[Sarah Barshop @sarahbarshop]

Rams WR Puka Nacua will not practice today with his calf injury, Sean McVay said. He will be listed as questionable for the game.

[Gatthew Margolis, M.D. @DrGattM]

Expect Pickens to go on Sunday. Don’t read into this too much.

[ProFootballTalk @ProFootballTalk]

George Pickens limited in Thursday’s practice with shoulder injury. https://t.co/LM10GUQCeL

[Gatthew Margolis, M.D. @DrGattM]

@nflrums QUESTIONABLE: Should not impact Week 8 availability. Would be worried about pushing a calf strain too quickly. Especially with the lingering hernia.

[Gatthew Margolis, M.D. @DrGattM]

@MonkeyD_Sandy Looks like Todd Bowles just said he’d be listed as doubtful and would need to make a huge recovery. The timeline is just too tight this week.

[Gatthew Margolis, M.D. @DrGattM]

🚨 Hearing Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka is projected to miss this week’s matchup vs. the Panthers.

Given the nature of his concussion, the timeline was simply too tight for him to be ready by Sunday. Expect Egbuka to return next week, barring any setbacks.

@YahooFantasy @AaronWilson_NFL Expect Montgomery Back Week 8

[Gatthew Margolis, M.D. @DrGattM]

As Expected: Week 7 Questionable, hopefully doesn’t sneak into Week 8

[RotoWire Fantasy Football @RotoWireNFL]

The calf injury Puka Nacua sustained Thursday is believed to be "more minor than anything else" and "not significant."

[Gatthew Margolis, M.D. @DrGattM]

@DonaldParhamSR Would think you could find 10-12 PPR there with Baker back against a banged up Panthers secondary.

[Gatthew Margolis, M.D. @DrGattM]

🚨 As previously reported, Rams WR Puka Nacua is dealing with a minor calf injury and is likely to miss this week’s game.

[Ian Rapoport @RapSheet]

From @GMFB: #Rams WR Puka Nacua suffered what is believed to be a minor calf injury, while the #Colts will have a decision to make on RB Jonathan Taylor.

[Gatthew Margolis, M.D. @DrGattM]

@hoodrabbit23 @TheNFLDrop Highly Unlikely. Re-injury risk is too high.

[Gatthew Margolis, M.D. @DrGattM]

@BCNogi_ Cope I guess? I don’t know what else to tell you.

[Gatthew Margolis, M.D. @DrGattM]

This is worth monitoring closely, as calf issues can linger and become difficult to manage. There’s growing concern this could be more than a short-term issue, with the possibility of an extended absence if it doesn’t improve. 🚨

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Rams WR Puka Nacua left practice early today due to a calf injury.

[Gatthew Margolis, M.D. @DrGattM]

@BMoney5762898 @sexwizard8 Agreed, that’s why I think there is extra room for concern here.

[Gatthew Margolis, M.D. @DrGattM]

@TOMAZh_town @sexwizard8 I understand the skepticism, but there is a distinction between reporting confirmed information and discussing a potential outcome based on the available information. A hernia combined with a calf injury warrants monitoring, and short-term IR is a possibility, not a certainty.

[Gatthew Margolis, M.D. @DrGattM]

@sexwizard8 Let’s lean OUT for this week and likely ramp up to practice towards the end of next week. Going to need to hear more from McVay tomorrow. Hernia + Calf. They may consider Short-Term IR.

[Gatthew Margolis, M.D. @DrGattM]

@DonaldParhamSR Think you have to back up the Brink’s truck to get this guy on your roster. Pay whatever you have to. With Puka and his hernia, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a short-term IR spell. That would make Mumpfield a Top 10 WR ROS.
