Mahomes (knee) is on track to start Sunday's game against the Titans, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Coach Andy Reid noted Friday that Mahomes -- who practiced fully this week -- will return to action Sunday "unless something happens" between now and game time. With that in mind, we'd still recommend monitoring the situation, but as things stand, Mahomes -- who suffered a dislocated right kneecap Oct. 17 -- will be back in action this weekend.

Brissett (knee) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Kevin Bowen of 1070 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Brissett was limited in practice all three days this week, which is encouraging, but George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin relays that coach Frank Reich acknowledged Friday with regard to the QB's Week 10 status that "we've got to make the right decision, for him and the team." If the Colts choose to play it safe with Brissett this weekend, Brian Hoyer would be in line to start at QB in Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET contest.

Brissett (knee) was present for Friday's practice, Mike Wells of ESPN.com reports.

Brissett already has back-to-back limited sessions to his credit this week, and his presence on the field Friday is a positive indicator with regard to his availability for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Coach Frank Reich is slated address the media after practice, at which point there will hopefully be a concrete answer with regard to the QB's Week 10 status.

Jackson (illness) returned to practice Friday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Jackson missed Thursday's practice as a result of his illness, but his presence alone Friday likely clears the road for him to take the field Sunday against the Bengals. The release of the Ravens' final injury report will reveal whether or not Jackson carries any sort of designation heading into Week 10.

Carr completed 21 of 31 passes for 218 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Raiders' 26-24 win over the Chargers on Thursday. He also rushed once for four yards.

Carr did an exemplary job managing the game, and he recorded a touchdown pass for the fourth straight contest when he connected on a nine-yard toss to Alec Ingold as the first half wound down. He then helped lead a pivotal and game-winning 10-play, 75-yard drive late in the fourth quarter that culminated in an 18-yard Josh Jacobs touchdown run. Carr has three consecutive interception-free efforts, and he'll look to keep that streak alive in a Week 11 tilt against the Bengals a week from Sunday.

Mahomes (kneecap) was listed as a full practice participant once again Thursday.

That's the second straight day he's been listed as a full participant, but it's worth noting that Adam Teicher of ESPN.com previously relayed that Mahomes was again second in the QB line behind Matt Moore during Thursday's individual drills. We'll revisit Mahomes' status Friday to see how the Chiefs officially list him for Sunday's game against the Titans, but even though he's been deemed a full practice participant so far this week, the QB's Week 10 status has yet to be clarified by the team. With that in mind, Teicher adds that "assuming he's a full go again (Friday), caution would seem to be the only reason (Mahomes) doesn't play against Titans."

Stafford (hip/back) remained limited Thursday at practice, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

There hasn't been any hint of genuine concern about Stafford's availability for Sunday's game in Chicago. He said his current back injury is unrelated to the one he played through last season, and his ability to practice in any capacity suggests he's on track to play through the pair of issues. A tough matchup with the Bears defense is probably the bigger concern, though it hasn't quite been the same dominant unit from 2018.

Brissett (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

Brissett, who is bouncing back from a sprained MCL, has encouragingly logged back-to-back limited sessions, but his status for Sunday's game against the Dolphins has yet to be solidified. Friday's practice will thus be a pivotal one for Brissett, but if he's ultimately deemed unable to go this weekend, Brian Hoyer would be in line to fill in at QB for the Colts.

Jackson -- who has been dealing with an illness -- didn't practice Thursday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports,

We'll circle back on the QB's status no later than Friday, but Jackson has time to recover in advance of Sunday's game against the Bengals and at this stage there's nothing to suggest that his Week 10 status is in any danger.

Brissett (knee) practiced again Thursday, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

The QB logged a limited practice Wednesday and the fact that he took the field again Thursday indicates that he avoided any setbacks. We'll have to see how the Colts end up officially listing Brissett's participation level, but his presence for back-to-back sessions bodes well for his chances of playing Sunday against the Dolphins.
