Oladokun (undisclosed) reverted to the Chiefs' injured reserve list Monday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

The Chiefs waived Oladokun with an injury designation Sunday, and the quarterback went unclaimed on waivers. The 28-year-old will now spend the entirety of the 2026 regular season on IR unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

Bradley (thumb) reverted to Jacksonville's injured reserve Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Bradley was waived/injured Sunday and subsequently reverted to IR after going unclaimed on waivers. He'll have to miss the entire 2026 season unless he works out an injury settlement with the Jaguars. Bradley played in all three preseason contests for Jacksonville and hurt his thumb in the final one, though he initially played through the injury.

The Vikings waived Brosmer on Monday, Ian Rapoport of ESPN and NFL Network reports.

Brosmer is the odd man out in Minnesota, with J.J. McCarthy (ankle) and Carson Wentz serving as the depth options at quarterback behind starter Kyler Murray. Brosmer could stay in Minnesota on the practice squad if he clears waivers, though he may opt to take his talents elsewhere. He appeared in seven regular-season games (two starts) for the Vikings in 2025, completing 66.2 percent of his passes for 328 yards, zero touchdowns and four interceptions while turning seven carries into 11 yards.

Howard suffered a concussion during Thursday's 28-27 preseason loss to the Bills, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Howard is now in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and will need to be consistently evaluated by an independent neurologist to progress back to full contact practice. The quarterback is currently an emergency option on the initial 53-man roster behind Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph.

The Dolphins claimed Cook off waivers from the Jets on Monday.

Both Cook and Bailey Zappe lost out to rookie fourth-rounder Cade Klubnik for the Jets' backup quarterback job behind Geno Smith. Cook will get a new opportunity in Miami, where he is expected to slot in as the Dolphins' QB3 behind starter Malik Willis and backup Kyle McCord. Cook appeared in five regular-season games (four starts) for the Jets in 2025, completing 57.5 percent of his passes for 739 yards, two touchdowns and seven interceptions while turning 13 carries into 49 yards.

Mariota (knee) returned to practice Monday, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Mariota missed the last two weeks of the preseason after suffering a sprained MCL in his right knee in the team's 20-7 preseason win over the Dolphins on Aug. 14. The veteran QB will look to increase his workload at practice in the coming days in preparation to serve as the the Commanders' top reserve option behind Jayden Daniels again in 2026.

Milton was waived by the Cowboys on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Milton was competing with Sam Howell for the top backup spot behind Dak Prescott at quarterback in 2026, and Howell appears to have won the job. Milton completed 29 of 43 passes for 378 yards and three touchdowns while also adding 12 carries for 14 yards and a score while playing in all three of the Cowboys' preseason contests. If he clears waivers, he's expected to join the practice squad with Dallas.

Coach Mike LaFleur said Beck (ribs) will return to practice Monday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Beck suffered a ribs injury in the Hall of Fame Game earlier this month and missed the Cardinals' three official preseason contests. The third-round rookie is set to open the season as Arizona's QB3 behind starter Jacoby Brissett and veteran backup Gardner Minshew. There's a pretty good chance Beck sees action as a rookie during the regular season.

Head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed Monday that Klubnik will open the season as the Jets' No. 2 quarterback behind Geno Smith, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

The Jets cut both Brady Cook and Bailey Zappe over the weekend, leaving the rookie Klubnik as the lone signal-caller on the roster other thant Smith. Glenn said Monday any further additions to the quarterback room prior to Week 1 would come in the form of a practice-squad signing. A fourth-round draft pick out of Clemson, Klubnik completed 21 of 34 pass attempts for 197 scoreless yards and one interception during the preseason.

Coach Todd Monken said Monday that Gabriel's back injury is not considered serious, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Gabriel has been placed on injured reserve to begin the season, so he'll be required to miss at least the first four games of 2026. It sounds like it was more of a procedural move by Cleveland to buy the team more time to sort out its quarterback situation, one that also involves starter Deshaun Watson and current backups Shedeur Sanders and rookie Taylen Green. Gabriel showed enough in the preseason to warrant a roster spot, either in Cleveland or elsewhere.
