Six teams will get a breather next weekend.

The NFL bye weeks are continue this weekend, with six different teams taking their once-a-season rest.

The majority of bye weeks will see four teams not play, while Week 7 and Week 13 have six different franchises on bye weeks.

The full set of 32 teams will also be in action during Week 8 and Week 12.

DAZN takes a look at which six teams will be on bye week in Week 7.

Carolina Panthers

It has been a tough start to NFL life for this year's number one overall pick, quarterback Bryce Young.

The Carolina Panthers are still winless through six weeks of the 2023 season, despite scoring more points than any other side in the NFC South.

Young showed glimpses of his potential during last week's defeat against the Miami Dolphins, particularly in the early stages as the Panthers took at 14-0 lead.

Panthers fans will be hoping to see a notable improvement after their Week 7 bye.

Houston Texans

The number two overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft has had a far more enjoyable start to his professional career.

C.J. Stroud has looked the complete package at times during the first six weeks, helping the Texans to a 3-3 record.

Through six weeks no NFC South team has taken a real hold of the division, and if Stroud and the Texans can improve after the bye week there could be a shock on the cards.

The Texans will return in Week 8 as Stroud and Young go head-to-head for the first time as NFL quarterbacks in Charlotte.

Tennessee Titans

Having travelled to London to face the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6, the Tennessee Titans opted to take their bye week in Week 7.

It was not the trip to the UK capital the Titans were hoping for, as the were defeated by the Ravens and sufferred an injury to starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill.

Tannehill suffered a high ankle sprain in the third quarter of that match, and will now have a week off to try and recover.

The 2-4 Titans return in Week 8 for a home match against the Atlanta Falcons.

New York Jets

It has been a strange season in New York for Jets fans, who saw quarterback Aaron Rodgers ruled out for the season after just four snaps in Week 1.

Despite Rodgers being sidelined and a lack of confidence in back-up Zach Wilson, the Jets have put up shock wins over the Buffalo Bills and in Week 6 the previously undefeated Philadelphia Eagles.

Wilson and the Jets offense have been nothing to shout home about, but their defense has been one of the best in the league and played a huge part in last weekend's win.

At 3-3, the play-offs are not completely out of reach for the Jets, but with the Dolphins and Bills in the same division their best hope would likely be a Wildcard spot.

Dallas Cowboys

A lot can change in a week in the NFL. After being convincingly beaten by the San Francisco 49ers in Week 5, the Cowboys marched into Los Angeles on Monday Night Football to beat the Chargers 20-17.

Quarterback Dak Prescott came under heavy criticism after the 49ers loss, but outplayed Justin Herbert at SoFi Stadium on prime-time in Week 6 to move the Cowboys 4-2 on the season.

Like the Jets, the Cowboys have their defense to thank for much of their form, though CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks had strong performances against the Chargers.

'America's Team' are back in Week 8 with a home match against the other Los Angeles side, as they welcome the Rams to AT&T Stadium.

Cincinnati Bengals

The Cincinnati Bengals have not been in top gear so far in 2023, with quarterback Joe Burrow still looking at less than 100% following his preseason calf injury.

However, after tough losses against the Cleveland Browns, Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Titans in the first four weeks of the season, the Bengals have improved.

A 14-point win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 5 was backed up in Week 6 with victory over the Seattle Seahawks as the Bengals moved to 3-3 on the season.

The Bengals will need to rest up well, as they face back-to-back matches against the San Francisco 49ers and Buffalo Bills after their bye week.
