Mayfield (wrist) will not miss any practice time, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Mayfield suffered multiple bruises on his right wrist during Sunday's loss to the Titans, but X-rays came back negative. It's positive news that the second-year quarterback won't be required to miss any time due to injury, and he'll benefit from an extra day of recovery ahead of Monday's contest against the Jets. Still, it remains to be seen whether Mayfield will have to work through pain while throwing Week 2.

With Nick Foles (clavicle) slated to go on IR and get a designated to return label, and Minshew the only healthy QB on the Jaguars' roster after Week 1, the team will trade a fifth-round pick to Pittsburgh for Josh Dobbs, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Minshew filled in well for Foles in Sunday's contest and should remain the team's starter for the foreseeable future. However, given that the team parted ways with a draft pick, Dobbs could, in theory, compete for the starting job down the road (once he picks up the Jacksonville offense) in the event that Minshew's play regresses in the coming weeks.

The Steelers traded Dobbs to the Jaguars on Monday in exchange for a 2020 fifth-round draft pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The Jaguars needed to add another quarterback behind Gardner Minshew after Nick Foles suffered a broken clavicle in Sunday's season-opening loss to Kansas City. The team could've done worse than Dobbs, a 2017 fourth-round pick who lost a backup QB battle to Mason Rudolph in Pittsburgh. Dobbs has thrown seven interceptions on 140 career pass attempts in the preseason, but he also proved capable of moving the Pittsburgh offense, both with his arms and his feet. With Foles out for at least the first half of the season, Dobbs could eventually have a chance to make starts, depending on Minshew's health and performance.

Sudfeld (wrist) is expected to remain sidelined for a few more weeks, Mike Kaye of NJ.com reports.

Sudfeld is recovering from Aug. 9 surgery to repair a broken left wrist, at which time he was given an initial timetable of six weeks. He'll remain sidelined during the early weeks of the regular season as expected, and will compete with Josh McCown for the backup job when healthy.

Mayfield appears to have multiple bruises, but X-rays on his right wrist came back negative, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

It sounds like Mayfield is banged up more so than injured, though he did have a wrap around his hand and wrist after Sunday's 43-13 loss to the Titans. He'll be glad to have an extra day for recovery Week 2, with the Browns heading to New York to face the Jets on Monday Night Football. Even so, it won't come as any surprise if Mayfield's practice participation is impacted in the coming days, as the bruise on his right wrist could make it painful to throw.

Murray completed 29 of 54 pass attempts for 308 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's 27-all tie with the Lions.

Murray started in putrid fashion and led the offense to just 53 yards in the first half. He caught fire in the fourth quarter, however, setting a rookie record for fourth-quarter passing as he brought his team back to salvage a tie. Somewhat surprisingly, Murray wasn't very involved much as a runner and finished with just 13 yards on three carries despite playing a hefty allotment of snaps, though the game flow could've been a large factor in that regard. It was a positive sign that he was able to find himself after a rough start, but next Sunday's road matchup against the Ravens is quite daunting.

Dalton completed 35 of 51 pass attempts for 418 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions during Sunday's 21-20 loss to the Seahawks. He also lost a pair of fumbles.

Dalton took to the air as his team fell behind and Joe Mixon was injured, finishing with a new career high in passing yardage. A large chunk of his production came on touchdown passes of 33 and 55 yards to John Ross, who had a huge day in his own right. He did hurt his team with a pair of fumbles at crucial junctures, although one appeared to be an incomplete pass before the call was overturned. Expectations for Dalton were not high coming into the season, so this productive debut is a happy surprise to his fantasy owners. If Mixon is forced to miss time, Dalton could be forced to air it out again next Sunday against the 49ers.

Prescott completed 25 of 32 passes for 405 yards and four touchdowns while adding 12 yards on four carries in Sunday's 35-17 win over the Giants.

After a punt on its first possession, Prescott guided the Dallas offense to three straight TDs to put the game out of reach before halftime. The fourth-year quarterback put together a perfect QB rating of 158.3 on the day, completing passes to seven different receivers, and both he and new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore made a striking statement in their 2019 opener. The Cowboys are likely to offer Prescott a contract extension soon -- his price tag certainly didn't go down after this incredible performance -- but it doesn't look like the talks are distracting him on the field in the least. He'll lead the team into Washington for another NFC East clash in Week 2.

Stafford completed 27 of 45 passes for 385 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions during Sunday's 27-27 tie with the Cardinals. He added three rushes for 22 yards and had two fumbles (one lost).

It was a game of ups and downs for Detroit, but fantasy football managers nonetheless have to be encouraged by what they saw from Stafford in his first regular-season game under new offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell. Not only does Stafford already have as many three-touchdown games as he had last season, but this was his highest yardage total since Week 8 in 2017 as well as his most rushing yards since Week 2 in 2017. While we'll need a larger sample size to gain trust in Stafford week-in and week-out, early indications suggest that the Lions may finally have a balanced offensive attack that will help the quarterback put up points more frequently than in year's past.

Jones took over under center for the Giants' final possession in Sunday's 35-17 loss to the Cowboys, completing three of four passes for 17 yards but losing a fumble on a five-yard run.

Fumbles were an issue for the sixth overall pick in this year's draft during the preseason as well, but in general Jones looked poised in his first taste of regular-season action, even if it did come in garbage time. At some point if the season goes the way of Week 1, the Giants may hand the starting job to Jones, but for now he'll continue to be Eli Manning's understudy.
