Puka Nacua, Emeka Egbuka and Marvin Harrison Jr. were among the NFL players injured in Week 6 of the 2025 NFL season. They will be evaluated throughout Week 7.
Oct. 13 (UPI) -- Puka Nacua, Emeka Egbuka and Marvin Harrison Jr. were among the NFL players injured in Week 6 of the 2025 NFL season.
Trey Hendrickson, Charvarius Ward and Fred Warner were among other star players hurt in Sunday's contests. Those injured in Week 6 will be evaluated throughout the week ahead.
Nacua hurt his left ankle while attempting to make a catch in the second quarter of the Los Angeles Rams' 17-3 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday in Baltimore.
He later returned to the game, but did not log another catch. Nacua, who leads the NFL with 54 catches and totaled 616 yards and two scores through six weeks, caught two passes for 28 yards against the Rams.
Rams coach Sean McVay said he did not know if Nacua will be available for Week 7. Backup running back Blake Corum hurt an ankle.
Ravens coach John Harbaugh said outside linebacker Tavius Robinson broke a foot. Harbaugh said he expects quarterback Lamar Jackson and linebacker Roquan Smith to return from injuries in Week 8, after the Ravens' Week 7 bye.
The Ravens (1-5) will host the Chicago Bears (2-2) on Oct. 26 in Baltimore. The Rams (4-2) will battle the Jacksonville Jaguars (4-2) on Sunday in London.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are already dealing with several injuries at the wide receiver position, suffered another blow when star pass catcher Emeka Egbuka sustained a hamstring injury during a 30-19 win over the San Francisco 49ers.
Egbuka, who logged two catches for 24 yards, was ruled out in the second half. The Buccaneers also lost right guard Luke Haggard to a shoulder injury.
Head coach Todd Bowles said the Buccaneers are "still evaluating it," when asked about Egbuka's injury. He also praised wide receivers Kameron Johnson (four catches for 64 yards and a score) and Tez Johnson -- who hauled in a 45-yard touchdown catch -- for stepping up in the absence of the Buccaneers' top playmakers.
"Dez and Kam really stepped up," Bowles said. "They really came into their own. The talent was always there, just understanding the offense and those guys can play. We feel like we're very deep in that room. We can't afford to lose any more, but we feel like we are very deep in that room."
Coach Kyle Shanahan said 49ers linebacker Fred Warner, who left the game in the first quarter, will miss the rest of the season after he dislocated and broke his right ankle. Warner, who totaled one combined tackle, was carted off the field. The four-time All-Pro will finish the season with 51 combined tackles, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and two tackles for a loss.
The 49ers (4-2) will host the Atlanta Falcons (2-2) in Week 7. The Buccaneers (5-1) will battle the Detroit Lions (4-2).

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., sustained a concussion in the first half of a 31-27 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday in Indianapolis. He totaled two catches for 32 yards before his exit. Cardinals running back Emari Demercado (ankle) and tight end Travis Vokolek (neck) also were hurt.
Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said Vokolek, who left the field on a stretcher, was taken to a hospital for evaluation.
Colts backup quarterback Anthony Richardson and cornerback Charvarius Ward were hurt during pregame warmups. Coach Shane Steichen said Richardson sustained an orbital fracture while working with an arm band. Ward sustained a concussion when he collided with a teammate.
"It was very interesting, to say the least," Steichen said. "We had to kinda rally the troops in the locker room and get us back into focus. I thought our guys did that the right way. I hope AR is good and 'Mooney' [Ward] is good."
Richardson went to the hospital. Steichen said he was unsure of timelines for return.
Riley Leonard will move into a second-string role amid Richardson's absence. Jonathan Edwards, Cameron Mitchell and Chris Lammons are among the Colts' backup cornerbacks. Edwards played a season-high 71 snaps (97%) against the Cardinals. Lammons was in for 50 snaps (68%), while Mitchell played just four defensive snaps.
Mekhi Blackmon, the Colts' lone healthy starting cornerback, matched Edwards' 71 snaps.
The Colts (5-1) will take on the Los Angeles Chargers (4-2) in Week 7. The Cardinals (2-4) will host the Green Bay Packers (3-1-1).

Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) and pass rusher Lukas Van Ness (foot) exited early during a 27-18 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday in Green Bay, Wis.
Wicks totaled two catches for 15 yards. Van Ness logged two combined tackles, including a sack.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Van Ness will get an MRI on his foot Monday, but doesn't think he sustained a fracture.

The Bengals lost All-Pro pass rusher Trey Hendrickson (back contusion) and tight end Mike Gesicki (pectoral) in the setback, which extended a four-game losing streak.
Hendrickson logged two combined tackles. Gesicki, who played just two snaps and was ruled out in the first half, failed to log a catch.
Bengals coach Zac Taylor said he was unsure about the injuries to Hendrickson and Gesicki. The Bengals (2-4) will host the Pittsburgh Steelers (4-1) on Thursday in Cincinnati.
The Steelers lost defensive backs Darius Slay and Miles Killebrew to respective shoulder and knee injuries during a 23-9 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday in Pittsburgh.
Browns tight end David Njoku sustained a knee injury in the loss. The Browns lost wide receiver Gage Larvadain and right tackle Jack Conklin to concussions. Pass rusher Joe Tryon-Shoyinka exited early with a hip injury.
Njoku caught three passes for 28 yards in the loss. Larvadain caught two passes for 22 yards.
The Browns (1-5) will host the Miami Dolphins (1-5) on Sunday in Cleveland.
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring), New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee), Las Vegas Raiders running back Dylan Laube (hamstring) and Chargers cornerback Elijah Molden (hand) were among the other NFL players injured in Week 6.
The NFL's Week 6 slate will end Monday night with two primetime matchups. The Falcons will host the Buffalo Bills (4-1) at 7:15 p.m. in Atlanta. The Washington Commanders will host the Bears at 8:15 p.m. in Landover, Md.
