NFL news, live updates: Raiders considering changes; Christian McCaffrey will be 'alright' after thigh injury

Posted by Admin October 26, 2026 NFL

There’s just one more game to be played in Week 7. The Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles will close out the week Monday night, as the division rivals play for the first time this season.

The game will cap yet another eventful week of football, one surprisingly devoid of major injuries … mostly.

Other than the devastating loss of Carolina Panthers offensive lineman Taylor Moton, most big-name players came through Week 7 pretty healthy. San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey gave fantasy mangers a scare after missing time during the team’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons, though was able to return and said he would be “alright” after the game.

With injuries out of the spotlight, the most interesting development from Week 7 may have come from the Las Vegas Raiders. Following the team’s loss, Raiders coach Klint Kubiak seemed to hint that a quarterback change could be coming soon. Kubiak said the team would re-evaluate “everything,” even though veteran Kirk Cousins has played well.

Kirk Cousins’ time as the starting quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders may be coming to an end.

Following another loss in Week 7, Raiders coach Klint Kubiak said after the game that the team was “thinking about everything” moving forward, per ESPN.

“I think at this point, we’re thinking about everything to fix our problems, how to fix our issues in the red zone, in the third quarter, personnel [and] scheme,” Raiders coach Klint Kubiak said, via ESPN’s Ryan McFadden. “We’ve got to talk about all of it.”

Despite what’s been a pretty good performance from Cousins this season, and a late surge on Sunday afternoon, the Raiders dropped a fourth straight game this week and now sit at just 3-4. It’s a stark change from the team that won three consecutive games to open the season.

With No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza waiting in the wings, it could be the right time to get the rookie some work and see what he can offer the franchise moving forward.
