Week 7 Injury Report: Lamar Is Out, Puka Is Questionable

Lamar Jackson went through three limited practices, carried a Questionable tag into Saturday, and then Baltimore ruled him Out.

Christian Kirk, San Francisco WR: The 49ers activated Kirk from injured reserve Saturday and removed his Friday Questionable designation. He practiced fully Wednesday through Friday and enters Sunday with no game designation.

Jordan Mason, Minnesota RB: The Vikings listed Mason Questionable despite full practices Wednesday through Friday, then activated him from injured reserve Saturday. His designation remained Questionable.

Jonah Coleman, Denver RB: Coleman practiced fully all week, was listed Questionable on the Broncos’ Friday report, and was activated from injured reserve Saturday.
