Lock (elbow) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Lock logged three consecutive limited practices during Week 7 prep. The backup quarterback's throwing arm remains a problem, leaving it unclear whether he will suit up for Sunday's game or if Jalen Milroe will be active for the contest.

Gabriel (back) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

The Browns opened Gabriel's 21-day return window on Oct. 6. If the second-year quarterback is not activated by Tuesday's deadline, he will be forced to spend the remainder of the 2026 season on IR. The Browns have been struggling to make decisions at quarterback, so it remains unclear if the team will activate him, keep him stashed on IR, or waive him once a judgment call is forced.

Huntley will start Sunday's Week 7 matchup against Cincinnati if Lamar Jackson (ankle) is unable to play, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

Jackson said Friday that he is dealing with a high-ankle sprain, and though he's receiving treatment on a daily basis, he's officially questionable to suit up Sunday and is considered a game-time decision. The star quarterback has already missed two games because of the injury, and Huntley has stepped in to lead Baltimore to a 1-1 record during that span. While Huntley was excellent in throwing for 201 yards and two touchdowns (and adding a rushing score) Week 5 against Atlanta, he fell back this past Sunday in a loss to Cleveland, throwing for just 165 yards and one score (albeit without committing any turnovers). Whichever Ravens QB starts against the Bengals will face a defense that has given up only five passing touchdowns through five games, though Cincinnati has also given up the fifth-most rushing yards to QBs.

Jackson (ankle) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

The Ravens listed Jackson as a limited participant all week, with the QB telling reporters Friday that he's "heading in the right direction," per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. Jackson clarified that his injury is a high-ankle sprain, and while the swelling has subsided, he's still dealing with considerable pain that may limit his mobility. He suggested that a decision won't be made until Saturday or Sunday, at which point the Ravens may try to keep it under wraps until inactive lists are released at 11:30 a.m. ET on Sunday. If Jackson is out again, Tyler Huntley will make his third straight start.

Jackson (ankle) remains uncertain for Sunday's game against the Bengals after Ravens coach Jesse Minter said Friday that the quarterback's availability is still being evaluated, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

With Jackson back on the practice field Friday and Minter noting that he got a "pretty good amount of work in," Baltimore is at least leaving the door open for its star quarterback to return. Minter added that the decision will hinge on how Jackson feels and how effective he can be, so this could come down to a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Mayfield (thumb) was a full participant in Friday's practice but is listed questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Coach Todd Bowles already said earlier Friday that Mayfield is good to go for Week 7, so it would be a shock if the veteran quarterback isn't under center Sunday. It will be Mayfield's first action since Week 3 against the Vikings. Jalon Daniels will head back to QB2 duties once Mayfield is officially cleared.

Mayfield (right thumb) is cleared to play Sunday at Carolina, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

After missing Tampa Bay's last three games with a dislocated right thumb, Mayfield will return to action against a Carolina team that's 2.5 games ahead of Tampa Bay in the NFC South standings. With wideout Emeka Egbuka (concussion/toe) listed as doubtful, Mayfield will likely look to Chris Godwin, Ted Hurst and Tez Johnson as his top targets at wide receiver.

Richardson was charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana in Carmel, Indiana earlier this week, Tyler Haughn of FOX 59 reports.

It means very little, and Richardson will likely face no punishment from the NFL. He'll continue to serve as Daniel Jones' backup.

Jackson (ankle) is practicing Friday, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.

After logging limited practice participation Wednesday and Thursday, Jackson's participation again Friday gives him a chance to return Sunday against Cincinnati. With the Ravens installed as 1.5-point favorites over the division-rival Bengals, oddsmakers seem to believe Jackson will play Week 7.

Williams completed 22 of 33 passes for 308 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing five times for 18 yards in the Bears' 30-24 win over the Patriots on Thursday.

Williams spearheaded another prolific performance for the Bears offense, leading his squad to another 30-point tally while eclipsing the 300-yard mark for the second time in five days. Williams tied his season with 9.3 yards per attempt, and he accomplished his stellar numbers while focusing on a tight pool of five targets. The 2024 first overall pick's two touchdown passes went to Luther Burden (24 yards) and Colston Loveland (12 yards), marking Williams' first multi-TD tally since Week 1. Williams appears to be clicking on all cylinders in his second season in Ben Johnson's aggressive offense, now having completed 71.0 percent of his passes for 1,020 yards through four games heading into a Week 8 road showdown with the defending champion Seahawks on Monday night, Nov. 2.
