We're now officially a third of the way through the regular season in the NFL and we've been treated to quite an opening over the first six weeks. As we look forward to Week 7, it looks like the action will continue. On Sunday, we have the Rams and Lions squaring up after they made a blockbuster trade this offseason where they swapped quarterbacks, plus the Chiefs and Titans will go head-to-head down in Nashville.
Of course, injuries are always going to play a part on a weekly basis and Week 7 is no different. As it relates to our "Thursday Night Football" matchup, the Browns are going to be without a number of key players, including quarterback Baker Mayfield, who has been sidelined due to a shoulder injury. Below, we will examine the final injury reports for both the Broncos and Browns in-depth while also taking a look at the midweek injury reports around the rest of the league. If you have a question about a player's status, this is the place to be. All odds come courtesy of Caesars Sportsbook.
Cleveland Broncos at Cleveland Browns (-2) (Thursday) Broncos: ILB Baron Browning (concussion), OLB Aaron Patrick (ankle) OUT; QB Teddy Bridgewater (foot, quad), T Garett Bolles (knee), Caden Sterns (illness) QUESTIONABLE Browns: QB Baker Mayfield (shoulder), RB Nick Chubb (calf), CB A.J. Green (shoulder, groin) OUT; WR Odell Beckham (shoulder), T Jack Conklin (knee), T Jedrick Wills Jr. (ankle), DE Jadeveon Clowney (ankle, chest, knee), DT Malik Jackson (knee), LB Malcolm Smith (abdomen), C JC Tretter (knee), LB Mack Wilson (calf) QUESTIONABLEThe Broncos officially list quarterback Teddy Bridgewater as questionable for Thursday's matchup. The veteran was able to practice on a limited basis throughout the week, so there is optimism that he'll be able to suit up. Denver also took tight end Noah Fant (foot) off the injury report after practicing fully on Wednesday.
As for the Browns, coach Kevin Stefanski announced Wednesday that Case Keenum will get the start over Baker Mayfield as the quarterback continues to deal with an injury to his non-throwing shoulder. Because it was a short week, Mayfield simply wasn't able to turn things around in time. Keenum will also be without top back Nick Chubb (calf) for the second straight week, meaning D'Ernest Johnson will start at running back.

Linebacker C.J. Mosley (hamstring) was not present for the Jets as they return from their bye along with tight end Tyler Kroft (back). Mosley said "we're optimistic for this weekend," so it seems like there is still a chance he suits up in Week 7. Safety Marcus Maye (ankle) were among the four Jets who were limited.
The Patriots had 16 players listed on their injury report. They were without DL Davon Godchaux (finger), LB Dont'a Hightower (elbow, ankle), CB Jonathan Jones (ankle), CB Shaun Wade (concussion) and DL Deatrich Wise (knee) to begin the week of practice. What was encouraging, however, is that running back Damien Harris was not among those listed on the injury report after he was dealing with a rib injury for the past few weeks.
