Omar Cooper Jr. WR | NYJ
Jets' Omar Cooper: Two long catches and TD in Week 7
Cooper caught all five of his targets for 115 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins.
Cooper topped 100 receiving yards with a TD for the second time in as many games since returning from an ankle injury sustained in his regular-season debut. The rookie 30th overall pick had a 52-yard catch in the first quarter and a 60-yard catch in the third, then added a three-yard touchdown reception three plays after the second long catch. Cooper has been a big-play machine when healthy, and he'll look to build on his strong start in Week 8 against the Raiders.

Aaron Jones RB | MIN
Vikings' Aaron Jones: Aggravates previous knee injury
Head coach Kevin O'Connell said Jones aggravated a previous knee injury during Sunday's 16-10 win against the Colts, Ben Goessling of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Jones exited in the fourth quarter of Week 7 action, and while he was considered questionable to return, he remained on the sideline. He missed time in two prior contests this season due to a knee issue but has been able to suit up for all seven contests. Jones and the Vikings next take the field Sunday, Nov. 1, in Detroit, so his status will be monitored to see if he's in danger of an absence. Fellow RB Jordan Mason (thumb) returned from IR on Sunday, turning 15 carries into 68 yards.

Ollie Gordon II RB | MIA
Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Stretches TD streak to four games
Gordon rushed 25 times for 103 yards and a touchdown while catching one of three targets for no gain in Sunday's 28-25 win over the Jets.
Gordon extended his touchdown streak to four games with a one-yard rushing score in the first quarter. Over that four-game span, Gordon has 69 carries for 332 yards and four touchdowns, having established himself as the go-to option in Miami's backfield following De'Von Achane's season-ending ACL tear. If the 1-5 Dolphins can stay competitive at home against the Patriots in Week 8, Gordon would be in line to handle another heavy rushing workload, especially if Jaylen Wright (quadriceps) doesn't play after exiting Sunday's win.

Braelon Allen RB | NYJ
Jets' Braelon Allen: Tops 100 rushing yards in Week 7
Allen rushed 17 times for 104 yards and caught six of seven targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins.
Allen worked as the lead back for a fourth consecutive game, as Breece Hall (quadriceps) was ultimately inactive after being listed as questionable heading into the game. The 235-pound Allen continued to struggle in short yardage, getting stuffed on a goal-line attempt in the fourth quarter as the Jets were denied a game-tying touchdown and instead settled for a field goal to cut the deficit to four points with 8:57 remaining. Allen has exceeded 100 rushing yards twice during Hall's absence but has just one touchdown over that span and two touchdowns this season. Hall worked ahead of Allen prior to getting hurt, but they may split the backfield workload more evenly if Hall's cleared to return against the Raiders in Week 8.

Taylor Moton OT | CAR
Panthers' Taylor Moton: Suffers fractured fibula
Moton (leg) fractured his fibula in the Panthers' 43-13 loss to the Buccaneers, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Coach Dave Canales said that Moton will likely be "out for a while" as he recovers from the broken bone. Monroe Freeling will likely be called upon to start at right tackle in Moton's absence.

Jaylin Noel WR | HOU
Texans' Jaylin Noel: Dealing with toe injury
Noel departed Sunday's game versus the Giants in the fourth quarter due to a toe injury.
On the heels of a 107-yard effort as a receiver in Week 6 against the Jaguars in London, Noel mustered just minus-3 yards on two catches before exiting Week 7 action early.
-
Jaylen Wright RB | MIA
Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Exits Sunday's game early
Wright (quadriceps) left Sunday's game against the Jets early and did not return.
Wright exited the contest in the late fourth quarter with a quad injury. The reserve running back was assisting the Dolphins in running out the clock when he sustained the injury. Wright had six carries for eight yards in the 28-25 win over the Jets.
-
Dante Trader Jr. SAF | MIA
Dolphins' Dante Trader: Returns to contest
Trader (shoulder) has returned to Sunday's game against the Jets, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Trader exited Sunday's contest in the third quarter with a shoulder injury. The starting strong safety has been thoroughly vetted and deemed healthy enough to return to the Dolphins' divisional showdown with the Jets.
-
Woody Marks RB | HOU
Texans' Woody Marks: Back in Sunday's game
Marks (leg) returned to Sunday's contest against the Giants, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Marks visited the sideline tent in the third quarter but was able to get back on the field in the fourth after having his left leg examined in the medical tent. He'll continue to power the Texans backfield with David Montgomery (groin) inactive for a second straight game.
