Here is a list of the most significant NFL injuries in week seven.
Joe Thomas – OT – Cleveland Browns
Joe Thomas is viewed as the NFL’s iron man. Unfortunately yesterday, he missed his first snap in 11 seasons.
#Browns LT Joe Thomas is feared to have a triceps tear, sources say. If the MRI confirms it Monday, it likely means season-ending surgery.

Joe Thomas’ consecutive snap streak ends at 10,363. Spanned 11 seasons, 167 games.

This is as bad as it gets for Browns’ fans. Once Thomas receives more testing, we will know how long he is out.
Carson Palmer – QB – Arizona Cardinals
Carson Palmer took a big hit early in the second quarter in Sunday’s London matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. He stayed on the ground longer than Cardinal fans would have liked. Head coach Bruce Arians told reporters after the game that Palmer broke his arm and will miss significant time.
#AzCardinals QB Carson Palmer broke his arm and is out about 8 weeks, according to coach Bruce Arians. It’s Drew Stanton from now on.

Jay Cutler – QB – Miami Dolphins
Jay Cutler took a nasty hit in the third quarter against the New York Jets on Sunday. Matt Moore filled in for Cutler immediately after as Cutler went to the locker room for further examination.
#Dolphins QB Jay Cutler is feared to have a cracked rib & is heading for X-Rays, sources say. MIA doesn’t know for sure & will check it all

Dolphins believe QB Jay Cutler suffered two cracked ribs today that could sideline him two to three weeks, per source. More tests coming.

Dolphins fans may want Matt Moore to continue starting for the Dolphins as he led them to a 31-28 victory.
