  • 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.

  • Tommy DeVito QB | NE

    Patriots' Tommy DeVito: Emergency QB3 for Week 10

    DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Patriots' emergency third quarterback against the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    DeVito will not be permitted to see the field Sunday unless both Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs are removed from the contest due to injury, illness or ejection. DeVito has not appeared in a single regular-season game in 2025.

  • Jameis Winston QB | NYG

    Giants' Jameis Winston: Serving as emergency QB again

    Winston (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Bears, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Winston can only enter Sunday's contest if Jaxson Dart and Russell Wilson leave due to injury, illness or ejection. Winston hasn't appeared in a game yet this season.

  • Cooper Rush QB | BAL

    Ravens' Cooper Rush: Emergency QB Week 10

    Rush (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings but will serve as the Ravens' emergency third quarterback.

    Lamar Jackson is healthy for a second consecutive week after missing three straight games. That leaves Rush as the emergency QB, meaning he can only enter Sunday's contest if Jackson and Tyler Huntley are removed due to injury, illness or ejection.

  • Kyler Murray QB | ARI

    Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Future in Arizona in limbo

    Murray, who was placed on injured reserve Wednesday due to a mid-foot sprain, is not expected to start again if he returns this season, "absent injury to Jacoby Brissett," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    While the Cardinals haven't explicitly indicated Brissett will remain their starting quarterback for the remainder of the season, head coach Jonathan Gannon implied Tuesday that Brissett would have started Week 10 in Seattle even if Murray was fully healthy. The Cardinals then deactivated Murray a day later, and though he'll be eligible to return from IR beginning in Week 14, he looks like he could be ticketed for backup duties so long as Brissett stays healthy and continues to direct a productive offense. With that in mind, Rapoport suggests Murray may have played his last game with Arizona, potentially making the 28-year-old signal-caller a trade or cut candidate during the upcoming offseason. Murray is already fully guaranteed $36.8 million for 2026, and he'll be guaranteed an additional $19.5 million in base salary for 2027 if he remains on the roster through March 16.

  • Jayden Daniels QB | WAS

    Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Set for checkup after bye

    The Commanders plan to re-evaluate Daniels (elbow) after their Week 12 bye before deciding on his availability for the remainder of the season, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Washington elected not to place Daniels on injured reserve after he received positive news from medical evaluations earlier this week, when he was told he wouldn't need surgery to address the dislocation to his non-throwing elbow that he sustained in this past Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. However, Daniels was still ruled out for this Sunday's game against the Lions and will also remain out for the Commanders' Week 11 matchup with the Dolphins in Madrid, giving Marcus Mariota at least a two-game run as the team's starting quarterback. Pelissero notes that even if Daniels' left elbow heals up well over the next few weeks, the Commanders' positioning in the NFC standings could be a major factor in whether the second-year quarterback is cleared to play at any point in the final quarter of the season. Entering Week 10, the Commanders sit at 3-6 on the season, and losses to the Lions and/or Dolphins over the next two games could effectively remove the team from playoff contention.

  • Will Howard QB | PIT

    Steelers' Will Howard: Remaining on injured reserve

    The Steelers did not activate Howard (hand) from injured reserve, and he has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, per the NFL's transaction report.

    Howard continues to recover from a fractured right hand that he sustained during training camp in early August. His 21-day practice window opened Oct. 22, and if he's not activated from IR before the end of that time frame, he would be forced to miss the rest of the 2025 season. Howard's next opportunity to be activated from IR is ahead of the Steelers' Week 11 clash against the Bengals on Sunday, Nov. 16.

  • Mike White QB | CAR

    Mike White: Let go by Panthers

    White was waived by Carolina on Saturday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    White appeared only as an inactive emergency third quarterback for the Panthers in their Week 9 win over the Packers. With neither Bryce Young nor Andy Dalton appearing on the Week 10 injury report, it appears White's services are no longer needed. The quarterback's spot on the active roster has been taken by undrafted rookie defensive tackle Jared Harrison-Hunte. White will now be placed on waivers, and if he goes unclaimed will become a free agent.
