Matthew Stafford and the Rams roll to easy win over Jaguars in London
![](/<div class="RichTextArticleBody RichTextBody"><p>Two NFL teams traveled to London for today's game at Wembley Stadium, but only one team really showed up.</p><p>The Rams absolutely dominated the Jaguars from start to finish today, jumping out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter and never looking back on the way to an easy 35-7 win.</p><p>Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford was calm and composed throughout the game and consistently found open receivers in the Jaguars' secondary. Stafford threw five touchdown passes, three to veteran Davante Adams and two to rookies, Konata Mumpfield and Terrance Ferguson.</p><p>Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence continually missed his receivers and struggled against the Rams' pass rush on a day when little went right for Jacksonville.</p><p>One of the few bright spots for the Jaguars was that rookie wide receiver Travis Hunter had his most productive game of the season and scored his first touchdown. But by the time Hunter reached the end zone, the Rams had jumped out to a 28-0 fourth quarter lead.</p><p>The Rams' record improves to 5-2, and they're in great shape heading into their bye next week. The Jaguars fall to 4-3, and they have some work to do heading into their bye, as a season that got off to a promising start is no mired in questions, about their defense and about their franchise quarterback.</p></div>)
It was a one-sided affair at Wembley Stadium, with the Rams jumping out to an early lead and cruising to victory.

Packers vs. Cardinals: Who's in, who's out for Week 7?
![](/<p>The <a href="https://sportsdata.usatoday.com/football/nfl/teams/green-bay-packers/335" target="_blank">Green Bay Packers</a> and <a href="https://sportsdata.usatoday.com/football/nfl/teams/arizona-cardinals/355" target="_blank">Arizona Cardinals</a> will announce their inactive players 90 minutes before kickoff on Sunday, or roughly 1:55 p.m. CT. This post will update as more information on player availability is known and official gameday inactives for Week 7 are announced.</p><p>Both teams are dealing with big question marks on the injury front. The Packers ruled out three players, including defensive end Lukas Van Ness and Devonte Wyatt, and listed eight players as questionable, including the following starters: running back Josh Jacobs (illness/calf), right tackle Zach Tom (oblique/back), cornerback Nate Hobbs (knee), cornerback Keisean Nixon (illness), receiver Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) and kicker Brandon McManus (right quad) on the final injury report. The Cardinals, meanwhile, are expected to be without starting quarterback Kyler Murray, who is still dealing with a foot injury.</p><p>Considering the Packers' length injury report, and the Cardinals' situation at quarterback, injuries are likely to play a big role in the outcome on Sunday.</p><h2 class="presto-h2 wp-block-heading">Is Packers RB Josh Jacobs going to play?</h2><p>His status remains up in the air, and Jacobs -- who is still dealing with an illness and then added a calf injury on Friday -- is expected to be a game-time decision on Sunday. It's possible we won't know his official status for Sunday until gameday inactives are announced around 2:00 p.m. CT. Picking up an injury late in the week is tough to overcome, and the Packers elevated a running back -- Pierre Strong Jr. -- from the practice squad, suggesting Jacobs is in real danger of not playing. Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks are the backups at running back.</p><h2 class="presto-h2 wp-block-heading">Is K Brandon McManus going to play?</h2><p>The veteran kicker didn't kick at practice all week, and the Packers kept Lucas Havrisik on the 53-man roster as a backup plan. McManus is listed as questionable, but Havrisik looks like the far better bet to kick on Sunday in Arizona. Last week, Havrisik made all five of his kicks, including two field goals. McManus would probably have to get through a pre-game kicking session on the field at State Farm Stadium without any issues to play Sunday.</p><h2 class="presto-h2 wp-block-heading">Who is going to start at quarterback for the Cardinals?</h2><p>The Cardinals listed Kyler Murray as questionable due to the same foot injury that kept him out of action last week, but he's not expected to play. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Cardinals are planning to sit Murray this week and give him another week of healing entering next week's bye week. That means the Cardinals will be led by veteran Jacoby Brissett, who produced a 300-yard passing game and helped the Cardinals produce 27 points in a losing effort last week. Sunday will be Brissett's 55th career start in the NFL. He has never thrown a regular season pass against the Packers.</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Cardinals QB Kyler Murray is expected to return to play after Arizona’s bye week for its Monday night Nov. 3 game at Dallas, per sources.

Cardinals receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. cleared concussion protocol and is expected to play.</p><h2 class="presto-h2 wp-block-heading">Who do we know is OUT for Packers vs. Cardinals?</h2><p>The Packers ruled out starting defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt, the team's best interior defender, and defensive end Lukas Van Ness, a key player behind Micah Parsons and Rashan Gary -- so Jeff Hafley's defensive front will be limited on Sunday. The Packers will also be without receiver Christian Watson, who is getting another week of ramping up at practice before he's back on the field for the first time. </p><p>The Cardinals ruled out first-round pick Walter Nolen and running back Emari Demarcado, and quarterback Kyler Murray is not expected to play. Jacoby Brissett is in line to start again at quarterback. </p><p><em>This article originally appeared on Packers Wire: <a href="https://packerswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2025/10/19/packers-vs-cardinals-inactives-josh-jacobs-kyler-murray-brandon-mcmanus-injury-week-7-nfl/86788731007/">Packers vs. Cardinals: Who's in, who's out for Week 7?</a></em></p>)
