Coach Jay Gruden said Keenum was pulled early in Sunday's 24-3 loss to the Giants because the quarterback was tending to a foot injury, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Gruden didn't provide much of an update on Keenum's situation when he met with the media Monday, noting that the veteran would continue to be evaluated ahead of the Week 5 matchup with the Patriots, per Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic. Though the coach noted after Sunday's game that the injury may have contributed to the poor accuracy Keenum showed on his throws, the signal-caller entered the contest with little job security after committing five turnovers in the Week 3 loss to the Bears. Keenum's injury coupled with his poor performance in back-to-back games leaves Washington's quarterback situation truly in flux heading into the home date with New England. Gruden already has indicated that Keenum, rookie Dwayne Haskins and a healthy Colt McCoy are all under consideration for the Week 5 starting nod.

A MRI revealed that Trubisky suffered a dislocated (non-throwing) left shoulder Sunday against the Vikings, along with a slight labrum tear, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Additionally, the QB doesn't need surgery and should he back "sooner rather than later," per the report. While Trubisky will travel with the Bears to London this week, he's unlikely to play Sunday against the Raiders, which sets the stage for Chase Daniel to be the team's Week 5 starter at QB.

Coach Adam Gase relayed Monday that Darnold (illness) has been cleared for non-contact drills and is ready to resume throwing, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

While that's a step in the right direction for Darnold, who has been dealing with a case of mononucleosis, Gase acknowledged that it's still a "question mark" with regard to the QB's chances of playing Sunday against the Eagles. Per Costello, Darnold is pressing to play Week 5, but if he isn't cleared to play this weekend, Luke Falk would be in line to draw another start at QB for the Jets.

Trubisky (shoulder) is not expected to be available Week 5 against the Raiders in London, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Trubisky was forced out of Sunday's 16-6 divisional win over Minnesota due to a left shoulder injury, for which he's undergoing medical tests Monday. While a timetable for the third-year quarterback's recovery still remains unclear, it appears possible that he could be facing a multi-week absence. In any case, Chase Daniel is locked in for at least one more start versus Oakland.

McCoy is a candidate for the starting QB assignment Week 5 against New England, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Case Keenum and Dwayne Haskins both looked terrible in Sunday's 24-3 loss to the Giants, combining for 5.1 yards per pass attempt, four interceptions, three sacks and no touchdowns. It didn't help that Washington played the game without Terry McLaurin (hamstring), Jordan Reed (concussion) and two starting offensive linemen, but the quarterbacks only made things worse. McCoy missed the early part of the year with a leg injury but was a healthy scratch Sunday, after logging full practice participation throughout the week.

Bridgewater completed 23 of 30 pass attempts for 193 yards and an interception in Sunday's 12-10 win over the Cowboys.

Bridgewater wasn't able to lead a touchdown drive against a tough Dallas defense, but the backup was able to keep the chains moving between the 20s and provide just enough to help secure a close victory. The 26-year-old may not put up enough statistics to warrant fantasy relevance, but he is helping fantasy owners by feeding the team's two star players (Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas) on a weekly basis. Bridgewater has a propensity to hit the safe underneath routes, so we shouldn't expect huge numbers even in a soft matchup against the Buccaneers next Sunday.

Prescott completed 22 of 33 pass attempts for 223 yards and an interception in Sunday's 12-10 loss to New Orleans.

The Saints' defense dialed up the perfect gameplan to contain the Cowboys' power run scheme, limiting the team's star trio to minimal gains on each attempt. Prescott's line -- and the Dallas' fortunes -- wouldn't have been as bad if the quarterback was able to convert just one extra drive into a touchdown. This rough matchup brought Prescott's production back down to earth after the signal caller averaged 306.7 passing yards and three touchdowns per game against three mediocre defenses to begin the season. The 26-year-old will face another stiff test in the Packers on Sunday, which may force fantasy owners to take a look at quarterbacks with better matchups next week.

Minshew went 19-for-33 for 213 yards and two touchdowns in Week 4 against Denver.

Minshew led the Jaguars from behind with two long drives after halftime, concluding each with a passing touchdown. Though he began the game by completing just 9 of his 18 pass attempts, Minshew closed the game by going 10-for-15 to put forth another solid stat-line. Though he's thrown seven touchdowns as opposed to just one interception this season, Minshew has not been particularly efficient in his three starts by averaging 6.6 yards per attempt. Still, he's led the team to two victories and will once again be under center in Week 5 against the Panthers.

Murray completed 22 of 32 pass attempts for 241 yards and threw one interception during Sunday's 27-10 loss to Seattle. The rookie quarterback also logged four carries for 27 yards and a rushing touchdown.

The No. 1 overall pick was an all-time prolific collegiate rusher from the quarterback position as an Oklahoma Sooner, but through the first two weeks of his NFL career, he had only carried the ball six times for a total of 17 yards. Someone must have reminded Murray that he can scoot, as he's amassed 96 rushing yards on 12 attempts over the past two games, while logging his first career rushing touchdown against the division-rival Seahawks in Week 4. He carries immense potential heading into a matchup against a Bengals defense that surrendered 289 scrimmage yards and a touchdown to similarly athletic Josh Allen (concussion) in Week 3.

Goff completed 45 of 68 passes for 517 yards and two touchdowns with three interceptions in Sunday's 55-40 loss to the Buccaneers.

The Rams fell behind 21-0 early in the second quarter, forcing Goff to sling it the rest of the way and eventually leading to the 23rd 500-yard passing game in NFL history. Despite the huge volume and yardage, however, this loss largely rests on the QB's shoulders -- he threw two early picks that led to two of Tampa's first three TDs, and he ended the Rams' last comeback attempt by fumbling, leading to a Ndamukong Suh return for the game's final score. Goff has tossed five INTs in his last two games, and he won't get much time to shake them out of his system with the Rams playing in Seattle on Thursday.
