Week 7 Viewing Guide (players on active rosters)
Bye this week: Buffalo (Cole Bishop, Dalton Kincaid, Mitch Wishnowsky)
Jacksonville, aided by Tim Patrick and Devin Lloyd, is looking to stay within reach of Indianapolis or even tie the Colts for the AFC South lead. Out in the West, the Denver trio of Garett Bolles, Jonah Elliss, Karene Reid—plus practice squad member Caleb Lohner—have helped the Broncos to a share of the division lead.
In the NFC West, Seattle is in a tie for the lead with Connor O'Toole on the Seahawks active roster. Eagles practice squad contributor Britain Covey has helped Philadelphia to a 4-2 record, good for first place in the NFC East.
Utah continues to be represented in the pro coaching ranks with a pair of alumni on the sidelines. Alex Whittingham is in his eighth season in the Kansas City Chiefs organization and first as assistant defensive line coach, while Brian Johnson is in his second season as the Washington Commanders' assistant head coach and offensive pass game coordinator.
