### Key Players Sidelined and Returning for Week 7: NFL Injury Updates

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor will be missing from the lineup again for Week 7 due to a high ankle sprain. Taylor, who last played in Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, has yet to return to practice. Reflecting on his injury, Taylor stated, "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.' I've just got to do everything in my power to keep chopping that down every single day."

In better news for the Colts, quarterback Anthony Richardson is set to return and start after missing the last two games due to an oblique injury.

Turning to the Arizona Cardinals, wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. remains in concussion protocol despite being a limited participant in Thursday's practice. The Cardinals face the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night. Harrison sustained the concussion during Week 6, and Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon expressed optimism, stating it was "really encouraging" to see Harrison back on the practice field, although still in a non-contact jersey.

Harrison suffered the injury during a collision in the second quarter of the Cardinals' game against the Green Bay Packers. Following the hit, he displayed clear signs of a concussion and was taken off the field for evaluation.

The New York Giants received a positive update as wide receiver Malik Nabers has been cleared to return to action after recovering from a concussion suffered during their Week 4 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Nabers, who missed the last two games, fully participated in Thursday's practice and will be available for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Meanwhile, Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb is likely to make his return to the field for the Week 7 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Although listed as questionable, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski indicated he expects Chubb to play. Chubb has been recovering from significant knee injuries he sustained in September 2023, which required multiple surgeries. He has been in practice for the past three weeks and is eager to contribute. "I'm ready to get out there with my team, ready to do whatever I can," Chubb said.

However, the Browns will be without running back Jerome Ford, who is sidelined due to a hamstring injury.

Here's a brief overview of other notable Week 7 injury updates:
- OT Vederian Lowe (ankle): out
- LB Curtis Jacobs (knee): questionable
- CB Jonathan Jones (shoulder): questionable
- G Mike Jordan (ankle): questionable
- RB Rhamondre Stevenson (foot): questionable
