Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, held to 138 total yards by the Cowboys in Week 6, erupted in the Week 7 loss at St. Louis. Wilson hit 23 of 36 throws for 313 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions, and he ran seven times for 106 yards and another score.

Wilson scored a rushing touchdown for the third straight week when he scooted 19 yards on a zone-read play in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, Wilson broke containment for a career-long 52-yard scamper.

He threw both touchdown passes in the fourth quarter, hitting tight end Cooper Helfet for 19 yards and wideout Doug Baldwin for 9 yards.

Wilson, who's thrown two touchdowns in five of six starts, visits the Panthers in Week 8.

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers turned in another dominant effort, and a result, he sat out a portion of the final quarter in a comfortable 38-17 Week 7 victory over the Panthers at home on Sunday.

Rodgers got off to a fast start, hooking up with Jordy Nelson for a 59-yard strike on the opening drive. In the second quarter, he found Randall Cobb for a 3-yard score. He found rookie Davante Adams for a 21-yard touchdown in the third quarter.

Rodgers compiled 255 yards through the air while completing 19 of 22 attempts. He added three touchdowns and no interceptions. He was sacked twice and finished with a 154.5 passer rating. He rushed for 21 yards on three carries. He has 18 touchdowns and one interception through seven games.

Green Bay will travel to New Orleans for a showdown against the Saints in Week 8.

The Cowboys have listed LB Bruce Carter, OT Doug Free, DE Jack Crawford, QB Dustin Vaughan, S Jakar Hamilton, DT Davon Coleman and OT Donald Hawkins as inactive Week 7 against the Giants.

Carter was listed as out prior to the contest. Crawford was considered doubtful. The other five players are healthy scratches. 

Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is active Week 7 against the Cardinals.

Carr came into the game dealing with ankle and knee issues. He was considered probable, and was always expected to play. 

The Raiders have listed QB Matt McGloin, WR Vincent Brown, CB Keith McGill, FB Marcel Reece, OL Khalif Barnes, OL Tony Bergstrom and DE Justin Tuck as inactive Week 7 against the Cardinals.

Brown and McGill had been ruled out prior to the contest, so the moves shouldn't come as a surprise. Barnes, Reece and Tuck were all considered questionable, but none of the three will be able to go. 

Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins was benched at the beginning of the second half Week 7 vs. Tennessee in favor of Colt McCoy. Cousins was pulled with Washington trailing 10-6.

Cousins completed 10 of 16 passes in the first half, but he passed for just 139 yards, no touchdowns and one interception. Cousins watched from the sidelines as McCoy completed his first pass of the game -- a 70-yard touchdown to Pierre Garcon.

The Rams declared quarterback Case Keenum, wideout Austin Pettis (ankle), cornerback Trumaine Johnson (knee), center Tim Barnes (shoulder), cornerback Brandon McGee (foot), defensive end Ethan Westbrooks (hand) and defensive back Maurice Alexander inactive for the game against the Seahawks.

As expected, Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle), running back Lamar Miller (knee), wide receiver Brian Hartline (finger) and tight end Charles Clay (knee) have all been labeled active for Sunday's game at Chicago in Week 7. All four offensive players were never in any danger of missing game action.

Titans quarterback Jake Locker was ruled inactive Week 7 against the Redskins, missing a second straight game due to a thumb injury. Charlie Whitehurst started in Locker's place for the third time this season.

Defensive end Justin Tuck (knee) and fullback Marcel Reece (quad) have been designated as questionable by the Raiders for their Sunday game against Arizona.

The other questionable player is linebacker Khalif Barnes (quad).

Those three are in better shape than wideout Vincent Brown (hamstring), cornerback Keith McGill (groin) and free safety Usama Young (foot), all of whom have been ruled out.

The trio of probables is headlined by quarterback Derek Carr, who is all but certain to play despite ankle and knee issues. Defensive end Benson Mayowa (knee) and linebacker Sio Moore (ankle) are also probable.
