Quarterback injuries are plentiful in this roundup of injury updates for Week 7 in NFL betting.  Be sure to keep tabs on these players as the week progresses.


Looking ahead to Week 6, there are a number of matchups that are affected by injuries.  In NFL betting, just about every matchup is entangled with a handful of them.

Here are just a few you will want to keep tabs on - with a couple that look like they won't play (certainly for Mark Clayton) in Week 6.

The Oakland Raiders

Yes, they deserve their own section.  We'll concentrate on their starting quarterback and running back, who, for the most part, were not playing when the Raiders beat the Chargers 35-27.

Bruce Gradkowski will be the starter if his right shoulder is good enough to go against San Francisco Sunday.  His sprained shoulder will warrant further updates through the week - but Coach Tom Cable has given the go-ahead for him to play if it looks good.

The latest word on starting running back Darren McFadden is that his hamstring is improving.  Later in the week there should be further updates to the back, who posted consecutive 100-yard games in Weeks 2 and 3.

Keep a close eye on both of these, as well as other relevant Raiders players who are battling with injuries.

Other Quarterbacks to Watch for Week 6

If you haven't heard by now, take note: Colt McCoy may start Sunday at Pittsburgh.

With Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace with severe ankle injuries, he will get the start unless either of them improves.  Eric Mangini mentioned "roster moves" in a quote that was published - so theoretically something could happen.  But yes, Colt McCoy could start against one of the better teams in the league - the Pittsburgh Steelers.

In their overtime loss to the Redskins, the Packers' Aaron Rodgers may be out Sunday against Miami due to a concussion suffered during the game. 

This comes after the news of surgeries from Jermichael Finley and Nick Barnett, which would also be harsh blows for Green Bay.  If Rodgers doesn't play, third-year quarterback Matt Flynn would start - he's from LSU and has thrown 17 passes in his career.

Also, the Chicago Bears are hoping that Jay Cutler will play Sunday as they host the Seattle Seahawks.

Cutler suffered a concussion after the Bears allowed their top two quarterbacks to get knocked out of the game.  With Lance Briggs hopeful, the Bears hope to have both of these key pieces back to continue their impressive season.

Mark Clayton Out for the Season

The leading receiver for the Rams, Mark Clayton, is done for the season.

He will have surgery on his right knee to repair a torn patellar tendon, which was hurt in the 44-6 loss to the Lions.

In four games this season, he caught 22 passes for 300 yards and two touchdowns.  Mark the Rams down accordingly, as Sam Bradford will miss this target for their offense.
