Howell (coach's decision) is inactive but available as the Eagles' emergency third quarterback against the Broncos on Sunday.

For a second straight week, Howell will serve as the No. 3 QB behind Jalen Hurts and Tanner McKee. Howell was the primary backup for the first games of the season while McKee was recovering from a broken thumb. Howell can only see the field if both Hurts and McKee leave Sunday's contest due to injury.

Wentz returned to Sunday's game against the Browns for the third quarter after having exited with a left shoulder injury in the second quarter.

Wentz will thus look to help the Vikings overcome a 10-7 halftime deficit, with Max Brosmer on hand should the veteran signal-caller suffer any setbacks with his (non-throwing) shoulder.

Wentz was forced out of Sunday's game against the Browns with a left shoulder injury in the second quarter.

Prior to his exit from the contest, Wentz completed seven of his 12 passing attempts for 73 yards and carried twice for 12 yards. Next up for the Vikings' QB reps is Max Brosmer.

Sanders (coach's decision), who is inactive as the Browns' emergency third quarterback for Sunday's game against the Vikings in London, is expected to play at some point during his rookie season once the coaching staff deems him ready, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Though Cleveland has elected to bench Joe Flacco after he led the team to a 1-3 start through the first four weeks of the season, Flacco will suit up as the No. 2 quarterback ahead of Sanders while the Browns turn to rookie third-round pick Dillon Gabriel to make his first NFL start. Gabriel had been serving as Flacco's top backup in each of the previous four contests, and the 24-year-old has already made a strong impression on the coaching staff in practices and in two spot appearances late in blowouts due to his ability to get the ball out quickly and process the defense. That being said, the 5-foot-11 Gabriel's lack of ideal size and physical tools could work against him in his development as an NFL-level starter, so if he's unable to find much success in his first few extended appearances, the Browns could eventually turn the offense over to Sanders. Rapoport notes that because the Browns designed their Week 5 game plan with Gabriel's aptitude as a runner in mind, Cleveland was reluctant to appoint Sanders to the No. 2 role right away as part of a game plan that wouldn't be tailored to his strengths. Ideally, if and when the Browns decide to have Sanders play, he'll get a full week of practice with the first-team offense in advance and will have a game plan built specifically for his skill set.

The Ravens elevated Huntley from the practice squad Saturday.

With Lamar Jackson (hamstring) ruled out, Huntley will operate as the Ravens' QB2 behind Cooper Rush on Sunday against Houston.

Minnesota waived Ridder on Saturday.

Ridder joined the team in September after J.J. McCarthy suffered an ankle injury but didn't see any playing time. The Vikings are now left with Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer as the only healthy quarterbacks on their roster for Sunday's game versus the Browns.

McCarthy (ankle), who has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns in London, didn't practice Friday due to rainy conditions, Alec Lewis The Athletic reports. "We wanted to be smart with that," head coach Kevin O'Connell said, regarding McCarthy's continued absence from practice. "But I'm very much looking forward to spending some time with him next week. We'll see where he's at coming out of the [Week 6] bye."

The Vikings were hopeful McCarthy would be able to return to practice this week, but he still hasn't taken part in any on-field work since sustaining a right high-ankle sprain in the team's Week 2 loss to the Falcons. With McCarthy still sidelined, Carson Wentz is slated to draw a third straight start at quarterback Sunday. O'Connell has previously said McCarthy will need a full week of practice before he can return to action, though it's not clear if the second-year signal-caller will regain the starting job once he's formally cleared. After the bye week, the Vikings will host the Eagles in Week 7 on Oct. 19.

Coach Dan Quinn said Daniels will wear a brace on his left knee in his return to action Sunday at the Chargers, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Daniels came out of a Week 2 loss at Green Bay with a sprained knee and missed the next two games as a result. With a trio of full practices under his belt this week, though, he's good to go for Week 5 action. The skill positions for the Commanders have taken a hit since Daniels' last game action, as RB Austin Ekeler is out for the season due to a torn Achilles and WRs Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin/knee) didn't make Thursday's trip to Los Angeles. As a result, Daniels' top targets Sunday will be WR Deebo Samuel (heel) and TE Zach Ertz.

Mayfield (knee/right biceps) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Seattle, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

After sitting out Wednesday's practice due to knee and right biceps injuries, Mayfield logged back-to-back full sessions to end Week 5 prep, clearing him to continue to lead Tampa Bay's offense Sunday. He'll be without the services of RB Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) and WR Mike Evans (hamstring) this weekend, though, meaning the key skill-position players available to the quarterback are RBs Rachaad White and Sean Tucker, WRs Chris Godwin, Emeka Egbuka and Sterling Shepard and TE Cade Otton.

Rush is slated to start at quarterback in Sunday's game against the Texans, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.

With Lamar Jackson (hamstring) set to miss his first game for injury-related reasons since 2022, Rush will step in to make his first start as a member of the Ravens. Over his previous eight seasons in the league, Rush made 38 appearances and 14 starts for the Cowboys, completing 60.7 percent of his passes for 6.4 yards per attempt and a 20:10 TD:INT. Though Rush has been capable as a game manager when called upon to start, he brings little running upside to the table, thereby limiting much of his appeal as a fantasy option. In order to ease the burden on Rush in his first start of 2025, the Ravens could favor a run-heavy game plan led by Derrick Henry so long as the contest remains competitive.
