Brissett completed 27 of 39 passes for 275 yards and two touchdowns but also had an interception and lost a fumble in Sunday's 45-17 loss to Tampa Bay.

Brissett strained a hamstring in the first quarter but was able to play through it, though his mobility was clearly limited, which is why he didn't register a rushing attempt. He gave the Dolphins a 10-7 lead with a 24-yard touchdown pass to Myles Gaskin late in the first quarter, but the Buccaneers responded with 17 unanswered points in the second. Miami had a chance to answer just before halftime, but Brissett fumbled in Tampa territory in the final minute of the first half and the Buccaneers proceeded to pull away after halftime. Brissett tossed another touchdown to Gaskin in the third quarter, this time from one yard out, and was picked off in the fourth on a ball that went off Jaylen Waddle's hands. Even if Brissett's healthy enough to suit up across the pond against the Jaguars in Week 6, Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) will be eligible to come off IR, and Tua will presumably retake the starting job once healthy.

Hurts completed 22 of 37 passes for 198 yards and an interception, and rushed nine times for 30 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Panthers. He also had a successful two-point conversion pass.

Hurts endured a nightmarish first half, passing for just 74 yards on 24 attempts while seeing a shotgun snap sail over his head and roll out of the end zone for a safety. To make matters worse, the signal-caller had a badly overthrown interception in the third quarter, which came after his team lost another fumble the possession prior. Despite all those negative developments, though, Hurts rallied to close the third, hitting Quez Watkins for 53 yards before sneaking in himself for a touchdown. Hurts then proceeded to run in from six yards for another score to put the Eagles ahead in the fourth, after which he completed a two-point conversion pass to boot. In the end, it wasn't a pretty performance from Hurts, who struggled in particular as a passer, but his impact from in close on the ground helped punctuate Philadelphia's comeback victory.

Burrow is being taken to a hospital to be evaluated for a possible throat contusion, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

Per Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer, following Sunday's 25-22 overtime loss to the Packers, which Burrow completed, the QB was having trouble speaking, which prompted his trip to the hospital. Look for added details with regard to Burrow's status in the days leading up to next Sunday's game against the Lions.

Burrow completed 26 of 38 passes for 281 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 25-22 overtime loss to the Packers. He also had a successful two-point conversion pass.

Burrow found backup tailback Samaje Perine for a four-yard touchdown to begin his day, then salvaged an otherwise modest first-half performance by exploding for a 70-yard touchdown to Ja'Marr Chase on a scramble drill just before halftime. That play marked the longest pass of Burrow's career thus far, but he faltered by floating a throw on the run for an interception on Cincinnati's opening drive of the second half. Although he subsequently engineered a comeback drive and ultimately gave the Bengals a couple chances to win the game, Burrow did throw another pick on a miscommunication during overtime. Those two turnovers hurt his overall showing, but Burrow nonetheless impressed once again, particularly in connecting with Chase for nearly 160 yards. That pair will hope to continue their fruitful reunion while Burrow protects the ball better in Week 6 versus the winless Lions.

Rodgers completed 27 of 39 passes for 344 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 25-22 overtime win against the Bengals.

Rodgers threw an interception while Green Bay's offense failed to score in the first quarter but picked it up afterward. His first touchdown came on a 12-yarder to tailback AJ Dillon, then Rodgers floated a fade to favorite Davante Adams for a five-yard score before halftime. He'd often go back to Adams in the second half and overtime, at one point completing a 59-yard bomb that helped Adams amass a career-best 206 yards on the day. With a big connection to Randall Cobb to set up the Packers' elusive, game-winning field goal as well, Rodgers put together another strong display to begin the campaign. He'll now look forward to a matchup against the division-rival Bears in Week 6.

Lawrence completed 23 of 33 passes for 273 yards, one touchdown and one interception against Tennessee on Sunday, adding 28 yards and one touchdown rushing.

Lawrence's numbers had some encouraging details, including the 2:1 ratio of touchdowns to turnovers, but the Jaguars offense was mostly tamed in a contest the team lost, 37-19. The rookie can be forgiven for that given the overall state of the franchise, but for the Jaguars to be more competitive they'll need to get the ball to their best receivers, and that definitely didn't happen here. Laviska Shenault and Marvin Jones each caught just one reception Sunday -- Shenault on three targets and Jones on four. Lawrence might see similarly difficult conditions against Miami in Week 6, even after the Dolphins surrendered five touchdowns to Tom Brady in Week 5.

Wilson completed 19 of 32 passes for 192 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's loss to the Falcons.

Wilson suffered through a horrific first half in which he mustered only 42 passing yards and threw an interception. He improved in the second half, leading the Jets' offense to two touchdowns and a field goal. However, the drives were capped by a running back on each occasion, which left Wilson without a touchdown for the third time in five games this season. The Jets will head into their bye in Week 6 and will return to action in Week 7 against New England.

Tannehill completed 14-of-22 pass attempts for 197 yards and one touchdown against Jacksonville on Sunday, adding three carries for 21 yards.

Tannehill managed to draw heavy pressure despite the light workload, absorbing three sacks and eight hits from the Jacksonville pass rush, but he was at least efficient with his pass attempts. The Titans were in control for the vast majority of the 37-19 victory, and Tannehill did his part to keep them moving by completing 63.6 percent of his passes at 9.0 yards per attempt. Julio Jones (hamstring) was out and A.J. Brown (three catches for 38 yards on six targets) was mostly ineffective while returning from his own hamstring injury, so Tannehill didn't necessarily have the easiest working conditions. Tennessee will likely need to throw more against the Bills in Week 6, so hopefully the two star wideouts can shake off the rust by then.

Brissett remained in Sunday's game against the Buccaneers after initially being listed as questionable to return due to a hamstring injury, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

If Brissett suffers any setbacks as the contest rolls on, Reid Sinnett would be in line to take over at QB for the Dolphins, with Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) still on IR.

Brissett was forced out of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers after suffering a hamstring injury.

With Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) on IR, Reid Sinnett is poised to take over the Dolphins' QB duties Sunday. If the injury ends up being serious enough to threaten Brissett's Week 6 status, Tagovailoa's progress will be worth monitoring closely as next weekend's game against the Jaguars approaches.
