  • Justin Fields QB | NYJ

    Jets' Justin Fields: Completes six passes in Week 10 win

    Fields completed six of 11 passes for 54 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Browns. He added seven rushing attempts for 28 yards.

    Fields threw for five yards and an interception in the first half, but the game was tied 17-17 at halftime thanks to two special-teams touchdowns by the Jets. He was credited for 42 passing yards when Breece Hall turned a fourth-quarter screen pass into a 42-yard touchdown, but Fields generated only 12 passing yards the rest of the game. The Jets seem unlikely to demote Fields after winning consecutive games, but head coach Aaron Glenn hasn't committed to a definitive starter between Fields and Tyrod Taylor under center, and Fields didn't inspire much confidence ahead of Thursday's game against the Patriots.

  • Jaxson Dart QB | NYG

    Giants' Jaxson Dart: Concussion confirmed

    Dart was diagnosed with a concussion and won't return to Sunday's contest in Chicago, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Dart took a big hit at the end of a seven-yard quarterback keeper and was wobbly as he went to the sideline and eventually the locker room. With a concussion confirmed, he'll be subject to the protocol for head injuries to be able to suit up again. He'll finish Week 10 action with 241 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions on 19-of-29 passing, six carries for 66 yards and two TDs and a lost fumble. Russell Wilson will direct the Giants offense for as long as Dart is sidelined.

  • Jaxson Dart QB | NYG

    Giants' Jaxson Dart: Being checked for head injury

    Dart is under evaluation for a possible concussion during Sunday's contest at Chicago, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    On a designed quarterback run in the third quarter, Dart gained seven yards before taking a big hit and losing a fumble. He was hobbling as he made his way to the sideline before visiting the blue medical tent and eventually the locker room. Dart had completed 19 of 29 passes for 241 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions and turned six rushes into 66 yards and two touchdowns when he departed the game. Russell Wilson took over for Dart under center.

  • Rams' Stetson Bennett: Emergency QB for Week 10

    Bennett (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Rams' emergency third quarterback against the 49ers on Sunday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

    Because he's the emergency third quarterback, Bennett is not allowed to play Sunday unless both Matthew Stafford and Jimmy Garoppolo are removed from the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

  • Brock Purdy QB | SF

    49ers' Brock Purdy: Inactive again in Week 10

    Purdy (toe) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Rams, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.

    Purdy hasn't been able to progress to a full practice since his last appearance in Week 4 as he works his way back from a turf toe injury. In Purdy's absence during Week 10, Mac Jones will earn his eighth start of the campaign, while Adrian Martinez will serve as the backup quarterback. Purdy's next chance to play is next Sunday at Arizona.

  • Jalen Milroe QB | SEA

    Seahawks' Jalen Milroe: Working as emergency QB again

    Milroe (coach's decision) is inactive as Seattle's emergency third quarterback Sunday versus Arizona.

    This has become the norm of late for Milroe, who has frequently worked as the Seahawks' emergency QB after getting into three of the team's first five contests. Milroe won't be able to enter Sunday's game unless both Sam Darnold and Drew Lock exit due to injury, illness or ejection.

  • Daniel Jones QB | IND

    Colts' Daniel Jones: Mixed bag in overseas win

    Jones completed 19 of 26 passes for 255 yards with a touchdown and an interception while adding seven carries for 53 yards in the Colts' 31-25 overtime win over the Falcons in Berlin on Sunday. He also committed three fumbles, losing one.

    Jones turned in one of the efficient efforts he's regularly managed in Shane Steichen's quarterback-friendly system, but ball security was a significant issue against an aggressive Falcons defense that sacked him seven times. Nevertheless, Jones persevered with the help of Jonathan Taylor's 244-yard, three-touchdown effort on the ground, while the veteran quarterback focused heavily on Tyler Warren and Alec Pierce when dropping back, and the latter was on the receiving end of Jones' one scoring toss from 37 yards out in the first quarter. Jones' one lost fumble, which came early in the third quarter, didn't lead to any Falcons points, and he'll head into the Week 11 bye ahead of a Week 12 road showdown against the Chiefs with 2,659 passing yards, 143 rushing yards and 20 total touchdowns.

  • Falcons' Michael Penix: Rough day in Berlin

    Penix completed 12 of 28 passes for 177 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-25 overtime loss to the Colts.

    The second-year QB also tossed a two-point conversion but got sacked three times and lost a fumble. It's the third straight game in which Penix has failed to complete 60 percent of his passes, although Sunday's 42.9 percent mark was by far a season low. Drake London remains his lone reliable downfield threat, and the duo hooked up for a 16-yard TD in the second quarter and a two-point conversion in the fourth for the Falcons' final points on the day. Penix will try to turn things around on the accuracy front in Week 11 against the Panthers.

  • Tyrod Taylor QB | NYJ

    Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Returning as backup QB in Week 10

    Taylor will serve as the backup to starting quarterback Justin Fields in Sunday's game against the Browns, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    After coming on in relief of a struggling Fields in the Jets' Week 7 loss to the Panthers, Taylor appeared poised to take over as the team's starting quarterback in Week 8. However, Taylor emerged from the loss to the Panthers with a knee contusion, and after he wasn't able to advance beyond limited participation that week, the Jets stuck with Fields as their starter. Fields proceeded to turn in one of his best performances of the season as the Jets claimed their first win in a 39-38 victory over the Bengals, and he'll get the chance to build on that positive outing coming out of New York's Week 9 bye. Taylor was a full participant in practice throughout Week 10 and has moved past the injury, so the Jets likely won't hesitate to turn to him if Fields is unable to move the offense early on in Sunday's contest.

  • Quinn Ewers QB | MIA

    Dolphins' Quinn Ewers: Remaining as emergency QB

    Ewers (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as Miami's emergency third quarterback against Buffalo on Sunday.

    For a third straight game, Ewers will serve as the Dolphins' emergency third quarterback, which means he is not permitted to play Sunday unless both Tua Tagovailoa and Zach Wilson leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.
