Rodgers completed 34 of 53 passes for 422 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Packers' 34-27 loss to the Eagles on Thursday. He also rushed five times for 46 yards and lost a fumble.

Rodgers' most prolific stat line of the season also had two key blemishes on it, and the final one cost the Packers the game. Rodgers threw to Marquez Valdes-Scantling in tight coverage at the Eagles' one-yard line with 28 seconds remaining, and Nigel Bradham alertly snatched the tipped ball caused by cornerback Craig James to clinch the upset for Philadelphia. Rodgers otherwise thrilled the Lambeau crowd throughout the contest, shining with touchdown passes to Jimmy Graham and Geronimo Allison, as well as with 10 completions for 180 yards to Davante Adams. The perennial Pro Bowler's ill-timed pick was his first of the season, while Rodgers' 46 rushing yards were easily a season-high figure. Rodgers will look to help the Packers bounce back from their first loss of the season in a Week 5 showdown against the Cowboys a week from Sunday.

Sudfeld (coach's decision) will be inactive for Thursday's matchup with Green Bay, Chris McPherson of the Eagles' official site reports.

Sudfeld practiced fully each day this week as he tries to make his way back from a wrist injury he sustained early in the preseason. It seems the 25-year-old is healthy, but the coaching staff will elect to go with Josh McCown as the primary backup behind Carson Wentz for Thursday's game.

Coach Jay Gruden said Thursday that McCoy likely will be a healthy scratch Sunday against the Giants, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

There seemed to be a glimmer of hope for McCoy to get a spot start this week with Case Keenum seen in a walking boot and listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report. However, Keenum was able to brush off the foot sprain quickly and practice in full Thursday. Behind expected starter Keenum on Sunday, the Redskins are expected to roll with rookie Dwayne Haskins as the backup, per John Keim of ESPN.com. Gruden elaborated on his through process to JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington, stating McCoy "has missed a lot of time" due to his fibula injury. Look for McCoy to continue building up his conditioning while Keenum and Haskins are locked into the top two QB spots.

Keenum (foot) was a full practice participant Thursday, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

After wearing a walking boot and being listed as a DNP on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Keenum seemingly was sitting out as a precaution. Coach Jay Gruden told JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington in the post-practice media scrum that the Redskins intend for Keenum to be the starting quarterback in Sunday's road game against the Giants. Meanwhile, Colt McCoy participated in his first regular-season practice Thursday, but Gruden wouldn't commit to him taking over backup duties from rookie Dwayne Haskins this weekend, per Finlay.

Keenum (foot) returned to practice Thursday, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

As a result, Keenum ditched the walking boot that he donned Wednesday and made him a DNP on the Redskins' estimated injury report. There's an expectation he'll suit up anyway Sunday against the Giants, and his ability to practice Thursday backs up that sentiment. The ensuing report will relay how many drills Keenum was able to handle.

McCoy (lower leg) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

On Tuesday, coach Jay Gruden hinted that McCoy would participate in individual drills, but the veteran signal-caller took part in every part of Wednesday's walkthrough. Considering the Redskins haven't yet put in a full practice, McCoy still may have some hurdles in his path to active status, so his activity level bears watching Thursday and Friday. Elsewhere in the QB room, Case Keenum was a non-participant due to a foot injury, which could open the door for McCoy or rookie Dwayne Haskins to move up the depth chart in the short term.

Keenum is listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's estimated practice due to a foot injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Keenum is expected to be healthy for Week 4 but is currently wearing a walking boot, according to Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post. The 31-year-old quarterback is coming off a rough 31-15 loss to the Bears in which he accounted for five turnovers -- three interceptions and three fumbles, two of which he lost -- as Washington's record dropped to 0-3. Coach Jay Gruden said earlier in the week that Keenum remains the team's starting quarterback, according to Peter Hailey of NBC Sports Washington, but if the veteran signal-caller is hampered by injury or logs another poor performance, he could face pressure from Colt McCoy and rookie first-round pick Dwayne Haskins.

The Buccaneers placed Gabbert (shoulder) on injured reserve Tuesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Gabbert has been unable to even practice the past month due to a shoulder injury, and will have to sit out a minimum of eight weeks following his placement on IR. With the veteran on the shelf, Ryan Griffin will continue to operate as the team's backup for starter Jameis Winston.

Coach Jay Gruden said McCoy (fibula) could work through individual drills this week, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Gruden added to this report by saying McCoy is a "ways away." The Redskins need to see how well McCoy can step into his throws, but it's encouraging that he's progressing to the next stage of recovery. After Monday night's terrible performance by Case Keenum (three interceptions, two lost fumbles), the Redskins could use the options under center, although they have rookie Dwayne Haskins as well.

Coach Jay Gruden confirmed after Monday's 31-15 loss to the Bears that Keenum will remain the Redskins' starting quarterback for the Week 4 matchup with the Giants, Peter Hailey of NBC Sports Washington. "Not really," Gruden said, when asked if he was considering a switch at quarterback. "I can't be changing people every five minutes."

Though the Redskins took losses in their first two games, it was through little fault of Keenum, who completed 69.1 percent of his passes for 7.4 yards per attempt and a 5:0 TD:INT during that stretch. Things completely unraveled for Keenum on Monday, however, as he threw three picks and fumbled three times -- losing two of them -- as Washington dropped to 0-3. At least for now, Gruden will chalk up the ugly outing to a matchup versus a tough defensive unit, but Keenum may not be able to afford a rough showing versus a lackluster Giants defense. Rookie first-round pick Dwayne Haskins is next in line if Gruden decides to pull the plug on Keenum at any point.
