Tannehill was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Tannehill missed 10 days after being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list in late August. As a result, the veteran quarterback will be eligible to practice starting Monday and should be considered ready to go for the Week 1 contest against the Cardinals.

Prescott said Friday that he's 100 percent healthy and hasn't had any soreness in his right shoulder since returning to practice Aug. 25, Jori Epstein of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Prescott originally was scheduled for 7-on-7s in his first practice back with the team, but he ended up participating in 11-on-11s as well. News has remained positive in the week and a half since, including Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reporting Friday that the quarterback will be "full go" for Thursday's season opener at Tampa Bay. The shoulder injury limited Prescott's reps this summer after he completed his rehab from last year's injury, but he'll at least have CeeDee Lamb, Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup and Ezekiel Elliott helping him knock off any rust the first few weeks of the season. Right tackle La'el Collins (neck) is the top injury concern for the Dallas offense in Week 1, dealing with stingers the past couple weeks after he missed all of last season with a hip injury.

The Lions placed Boyle (thumb) on injured reserve Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Boyle is expected to miss up to eight weeks due to thumb surgery he underwent in late August, so it's no surprise to see him beginning the regular season on IR. Though the depth quarterback will be eligible to return as early as Week 4, it appears as though he's destined for a somewhat longer absence.

The Colts placed Ehlinger (knee) on injured reserve Thursday, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

Ehlinger has already been ruled out for the month of September due to a knee sprain, so it's no surprise to see the Colts send him to IR. The rookie sixth-round pick will be eligible for activation as soon as Week 4 against the Dolphins.

The Titans signed Barkley to their practice squad Wednesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Barkley spent the last three seasons operating as a backup for the Bills, but the veteran signal-caller couldn't beat out Logan Woodside for the No. 2 gig in Tennessee. Should Ryan Tannehill (undisclosed) end up missing any time this season, however, Barkley's presence on the practice squad will give the Titans an experienced emergency option.

The Dolphins signed Sinnett to the practice squad Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Sinnett will stick around in Miami as an emergency option behind Tua Tagovailoa and Jacoby Brissett. The signal-caller spent most of the 2020 season on the Dolphins' practice squad as well.

The Chiefs signed Buechele to the practice squad Wednesday, Howard Balzer of SI.com reports.

Buechele will serve as an emergency option at quarterback behind Patrick Mahomes and Chad Henne for the Chiefs. The undrafted rookie out of SMU logged an impressive 57:16 TD:INT ratio during his final two collegiate seasons.

The Broncos signed Rypien to the practice squad Wednesday, Howard Balzer of SI.com reports.

Rypien appeared in three games for Denver last season, but with Teddy Bridgewater starting the 2021 season and Drew Lock available behind him, there wasn't room for a third quarterback on the initial 53-man roster. He will continue his development on the practice squad.

Driskel was signed to Houston's practice squad Wednesday.

Driskel was with the Texans during the preseason and was a camp casualty Tuesday before rejoining the team Wednesday. Houston's quarterback situation may eventually change, but starting Week 1, Tyrod Taylor is expected to start with third-round pick Davis Mills backing him up. Meanwhile Deshaun Watson made the 53-man roster, but he's not expected to suit up Sundays.

Mullens was signed to the Browns' practice squad Wednesday, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.

Mullens, who spent the 2021 preseason in the Eagles' camp, was on the field Wednesday, working behind Baker Mayfield and Case Keenum. He spent four seasons in San Francisco and started 16 games for the 49ers. That's where he worked with Cleveland offensive assistant T.C. McCartney, who vouched for him to the Browns' decision makers.
