San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (oblique) was doing work off to the side with the team's training staff during practice on Friday.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (shoulder) returned to a full practice on Friday but is questionable to play in Week 7 against the Cleveland Browns.

The New York Giants are listing quarterback Daniel Jones (neck) as questionable for the Week 7 tilt versus the Washington Commanders.

Damien Harris Ruled Out For Week 7

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that running back Damien Harris (concussion, neck) has been ruled out for the Week 7 contest against the division-rival New England Patriots on Sunday.
