Ahead of Sunday’s showdown, Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence outlines a plan to contain powerhouse RB Derrick Henry. Lawrence says the unit will focus on aggressive tackling and building a wall of big men to keep Henry at the line of scrimmage, noting his “one‑cut” style makes early backfield pressure crucial. The strategy was emphasized in Wednesday’s practice, with Lawrence urging teammates to wrap and bring down the 330‑pound Ravens star. A Ravens YouTuber concurs, highlighting that stopping Henry hinges on hitting him the instant he touches the ball.
Quarterback Lamar Jackson, sidelined since Week 4 with a high ankle sprain, publicly rebukes NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport’s injury reports ahead of the Ravens’ upcoming game against the Falcons. After a sack against the Titans left Jackson in a walking boot, Rapoport suggested the injury could keep him out for weeks, then labeled it a low or mid‑ankle sprain. Jackson says he’ll rely on head trainer Adrian Dixon’s diagnosis—a high ankle sprain—rather than Rapoport’s speculation.

Ravens-Bengals and Packers-Lions rate among the most impactful NFL games of Week 7, but what matchups will be available in your area?
The Atlanta Falcons, sitting 2‑4, face an undefeated San Francisco 49ers in Week 7. While the 49ers remain a top‑10 offense and defense, they’re missing key weapons—Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel—due to injury, leaving their passing game vulnerable. The Falcons also battle injuries, especially on the defensive line and secondary, but could enjoy a health edge if most questionables play. With the 49ers coming off a Monday night loss and the Falcons enjoying extra rest, the matchup is a slim 2.5‑point home underdog for Atlanta. The author predicts a 49ers win but notes the Falcons’ potential to pull off an upset.

The Ravens have listed quarterback Lamar Jackson as questionable for Week 7 against the Cincinnati Bengals after a limited practice week. Jackson, 29, is recovering from a high‑ankle sprain suffered in Week 5 versus the Titans and says he’s “heading in the right direction,” though he still can’t fully pressure his left leg. The team faces a decision after his two‑game absence, recalling last year’s fine when he was ruled out late. Baltimore also lists DT Broderick Washington (ankle) as questionable, while safety Jaylinn Hawkins and LB Tavius Robinson are out. In contrast, the Bengals enter the game injury‑free.
Baltimore Ravens outside linebacker Tavius Robinson is out for the rest of the 2026 season after suffering a pectoral injury, coach Jesse Minter announced Friday. The 27‑year‑old, who led the defense with 3.5 sacks, a forced fumble and 18 tackles in the first six weeks, had been productive in his first two games. This marks the second consecutive year Robinson misses significant time, following a foot injury in 2025. With Robinson sidelined, the Ravens will lean on Mike Green, rookie Zion Young, UDFA Ethan Burke and practice‑squad depth to fill the void.
The Browns chase a second road win on Oct. 23 at Nissan Stadium, facing a Titans team that finally snapped its early‑season slump with a win over the Colts. Cleveland sits 4‑2, fresh off a fourth‑quarter comeback against Baltimore, while Tennessee is 1‑5. Key storylines include the Browns' streak of late‑quarter heroics, Deshaun Watson’s strong fourth‑quarter EPA versus a struggling Cam Ward (19.7 QBR vs zone), and the Titans’ new blue uniform nodding to their Oilers heritage. Injury heads‑up lists feature DT Mike Hall Jr., CB Denzel Ward for Cleveland and WR Calvin Ridley, RB Tyjae Spears for Tennessee. The game kicks off at 1 p.m. on CBS under sunny 75‑degree conditions, with the line at Browns -1.5 and an over/under of 37.5.
The Bengals (3‑2) travel to Baltimore to take on the Ravens (4‑2) in a rare 1 p.m. ET divisional showdown on Sunday. Key battles include Trey Hendrickson versus Orlando Brown Jr., with Hendrickson seeking revenge after a 2023 training‑camp scuffle, and rookie Vega Ioane matching up against the formidable Dexter Lawrence on the interior line. The Ravens’ versatile slot threat Zay Flowers (471 receiving yards) tests Bengals safety Dax Hill, who has allowed just 28 yards in his two best games. Finally, veteran corner Marlon Humphrey and Nate Wiggins confront the Bengals’ deep threats Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase, who combine for over 560 yards and four touchdowns. These matchups could decide the AFC North lead.
Commissioner Roger Goodell tells NFL Daily that Tokyo is the league’s next international stop, following a historic slate that included games in Melbourne, Rio de Janeiro, London and an upcoming showdown in Paris between the Steelers and Saints.
