Siemian (ankle) will undergo an MRI on Tuesday morning, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Siemian suffered a gruesome looking ankle injury as he was being knocked to the ground by Myles Garrett, forcing him to exit the contest in the first quarter. Look for more updates on his status to come after he receives the MRI. The Jets are currently down to one healthy quarterback, Luke Falk, so expect quarterback tryouts in New York this week regardless of Siemian's condition.

Siemian has officially been ruled out of Monday's game with an ankle injury.

Siemian appeared to suffer a significant injury after being hit by Myles Garrett in the first half. Luke Falk will take over for the immediate future with normal starter Sam Darnold (illness) also out. Running back Le'Veon Bell is the emergency quarterback if Falk gets injured.

Siemian is officially being evaluated for an ankle injury.

Siemian suffered a gruesome-looking injury in the second quarter. Luke Falk will take over as the Jets' starting quarterback with Siemian and Sam Darnold (illness) both out.

Siemian suffered a lower leg injury in Monday's game against the Browns and has been replaced by Luke Falk, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

The injury appears to be significant, as Siemian got his leg caught underneath him while receiving a late hit from Browns defensive end Myles Garrett in the second quarter. He did not have much success through the air filling in for regular starter Sam Darnold (illness), taking two sacks and completing three of six passes for three yards. The Jets now turn to Luke Falk, who was signed off the practice squad hours before Monday's game.

Mariota (quadriceps) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.

Given that the Titans played Sunday, the team didn't have a formal practice Monday, but the noted designation makes Mariota's status worth monitoring in advance of Thursday's game against the Jaguars. Mariota was sacked four times in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Colts, the same number of times he was taken down in Week 1's 43-13 win over the Browns.

Coach Jay Gruden said Monday that McCoy (lower leg) could resume individual work in practice this week, Craig Hoffman of 106-7 The Fan Washington reports.

While individual work would represent a step forward in the recovery process for McCoy, anything he does in practice this week is unlikely to constitute a "full participation" designation. With that in mind, McCoy is expected to remain sidelined for the Redskins' Week 3 matchup with Chicago, leaving rookie Dwayne Haskins to act as the backup quarterback behind Case Keenum.

The Jets officially promoted Falk to the active roster Monday.

Falk hasn't thrown a pass in the NFL since being selected in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL Draft by the Titans. The 24-year-old was productive for Washington State in college with 3,593 yards, 30 touchdowns and 13 interceptions in his senior year. He'll serve as the backup to Trevor Siemian while Sam Darnold (illness) is out.

Coach Pat Shurmur said it's "fair" to have a conversation about Jones replacing Eli Manning as the Giants' starting quarterback, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

Shurmur acknowledged that his failure to commit to Manning will lead to speculation. It sure sounds like the Giants are ready to make a change, though we don't have confirmation it will happen for Week 3 in Tampa Bay. Manning has produced 6.2 YPA through two weeks, with the Giants scoring just 31 points despite getting 227 rushing yards from Saquon Barkley. There's no guarantee Jones will be any better, but the Giants might as well find out sooner rather than later.

Rudolph will take over as the Steelers' starting quarterback with Ben Roethlisberger undergoing season-ending surgery on his right elbow, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

A 2018 third-round pick, Rudolph beat out Joshua Dobbs for the No. 2 job last month, completing 28 of 43 passes (65.1 percent) for 368 yards, four touchdowns and an interception during the preseason. Rudolph then replaced Roethlisberger for the second half of Sunday's 28-26 loss to Seattle, completing 12 of 19 attempts for 112 yards, two TDs and an INT, with the pick coming on a Donte Moncrief drop. Rudolph's tenure as the starting quarterback begins with a Week 3 trip to San Francisco, where the Steelers may or may not have James Conner (knee) available in their backfield. With Dobbs now in Jacksonville, it's not clear who the Steelers will turn to as Rudolph's backup.

Bridgewater is in line to fill in as the Saints' starting QB with Drew Brees expected to undergo thumb surgery and miss approximately six weeks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Bridgewater -- a 2014 first-rounder -- has starting experience from his days with the Vikings prior to suffering a brutal knee injury in August of 2016 that stalled his career. Now further removed from that issue, Bridgewater should be a capable fill-in for Brees in the coming weeks and definitely is worth an add for those looking to secure QB depth or simply scrambling to replace an injured player like Brees or Ben Roethlisberger (elbow).
