Murray was limited at Wednesday's practice by a right shoulder injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Murray didn't miss any of the Cardinals' 61 offensive snaps during this past Sunday's 17-10 win against the 49ers, but he was seen grabbing at his upper right arm at one point during the game. Clearly, his throwing shoulder is bothering him at the moment, but he at least was able to get in some reps to begin Week 6 prep. Murray will have two more opportunities to bump up to full participation before Sunday's visit to the Browns.

Tagovailoa (ribs) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London, barring any setbacks in practice over the next few days Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Tagovailoa returned to practice Wednesday, and though he still has yet to be fully activated from injured reserve, the Dolphins are preparing to bring him back after he missed three games due to fractured ribs. Still, the Dolphins will continue to monitor Tagovailoa -- and his ability to tolerate pain while practicing -- before making a final decision. If he suits up in London, Tagovailoa could be without a couple of his key targets. Will Fuller (finger) will need to remain on IR for at least two more contests, while DeVante Parker (shoulder) has yet to resume practicing after sitting out Week 5.

Brissett (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Brissett was able to check back into Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers after injuring his hamstring earlier in the contest, but he still seems to be dealing with lingering soreness. Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) resumed practicing Tuesday and is eligible to come off injured reserve this weekend against the Jaguars in London, but the Dolphins haven't yet brought him back to the active roster. For the time being, Miami's quarterback situation is uncertain, but Brissett would revet to the No. 2 role if Tagovailoa is cleared to play Week 6.

Bears head coach Matt Nagy expects Fields (knee) to practice in full Wednesday, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com reports.

Fields got beat up in this past Sunday's win at Las Vegas, even leaving the field for three snaps. Afterward, the Bears revealed that Fields underwent tests on his hyperextended left knee, which didn't reveal anything of substance, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Fields himself told Dickerson that he'll be OK to play this weekend against the Packers, so even if he is limited instead of uninhibited Wednesday, the quarterback appears on track to avoid the inactive list.

Texans head coach David Culley said Wednesday that Taylor (hamstring) is making good progress, but remains week-to-week, Drew Dougherty of the Texans' official site reports.

Though Taylor isn't in line to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game in Indianapolis, Culley indicated that when the veteran quarterback returns to the mix, he'll reclaim his starting assignment. For now, though, Davis Mills will continue to helm the Houston offense.

Coach Brian Flores said Wednesday that Tagovailoa (ribs) will practice Wednesday and will "hopefully" play Sunday versus the Jaguars in London, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Tagovailoa has yet to be returned to the 53-man roster, but he looks to be trending in the right direction to come off IR and start Week 6. Of course, the Dolphins will likely wait and see how the young quarterback looks in practices throughout the week before making a decision on his status. With DeVante Parker (shoulder) still absent from practice and Will Fuller (finger) sidelined, Tagovailoa could be without a number of key playmakers if he's indeed ready to play this weekend. On the plus side, Jacksonville's defense has proven vulnerable and has allowed at least 23 points in each game this season.

Giants head coach Joe Judge said Jones (concussion) won't practice Wednesday, but the quarterback is "on track with everything" in his recovery from the brain injury and hasn't yet been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Jones isn't believed to have an extensive history of concussions, but the one he suffered in last week's loss to the Cowboys looked fairly serious, as he struggled to get back on his feet after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit before being ruled out for the remainder of the contest. Though Judge was unwilling to dismiss the possibility of Jones clearing the five-step protocol before the weekend, the 24-year-old will likely need to make enough progress in his recovery to join his teammates for practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have a legitimate shot at playing. On a positive note, Jones was at least in attendance for Wednesday's session in an observational role, with Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record noting that the signal-caller was donning a helmet and full pads while doing some throwing off to the side. Meanwhile, Mike Glennon is taking reps with the first-team offense Wednesday and would be in line to start if Jones is ruled out for Week 6.

The Dolphins have designated Tagovailoa (ribs) to return from injured reserve, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

The transaction gives the Dolphins a 21-day window during which the team can evaluate Tagovailoa for a return to the 53-man roster, but he likely won't need the full length of time before being activated. Per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com, head coach Brian Flores said that Tagovailoa was able to do some throwing Monday, and the quarterback now appears set to take part in the Dolphins' first Week 6 practice Wednesday in at least some capacity. If Tagovailoa checks out well during practices over the next few days, he could take back starting quarterback duties from Jacoby Brissett in Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London.

Jackson completed 37 of 43 passes for 442 yards and four touchdowns and rushed 14 times for 62 yards but lost a fumble during Monday night's 31-25 overtime victory over the Colts. He also threw a pair of successful two-point conversions.

Jackson actually got off to a slow start and misfired on a passing touchdown just before halftime. He then had a seemingly costly fumble near the Colts goal line on Baltimore's opening drive of the second half, but Jackson rallied in spectacular fashion. He found Marquise Brown for a 43-yard touchdown on the next series, then had consecutive scores and two-point conversions to tight end Mark Andrews to overcome a 16-point fourth-quarter deficit and force overtime. From there, Jackson finished the job by finding Brown on a five-yard, game-winning touchdown, helping him pass for not only a career high in yardage but also a Ravens franchise record in the category. With his usual dynamic running from the pocket as well, it turned out to be sensational showing from Jackson, who'll next face the Chargers in a tough Week 6 matchup.

Garoppolo (calf) may have a clearer path to reclaiming the starting job after the 49ers' Week 6 bye with Trey Lance having sprained his left knee during Sunday's 17-10 loss in Arizona, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Lance's injury is believed to be nothing more than a 1-2 week issue, but he'll be examined again at the end of this week. Meanwhile, Garoppolo continues to recover from a bruised calf suffered Week 5, which allowed the rookie to direct the offense in each of the 49ers' last six quarters. There was already an expectation Garoppolo would regain his status as San Francisco's No. 1 quarterback when he's back to 100 percent, but if Lance isn't cleared for action in Week 7 and the veteran is, coach Kyle Shanahan can temporarily avoid any talk of a job battle or QB controversy. If neither Garoppolo nor Lance gain clearance, though, Nate Sudfeld could be tasked with a spot start.
