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.

Maye completed 24 of 31 passes for 321 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while adding four rushes for 26 yards and another score in the Patriots' 30-24 loss to the Bears on Thursday.

Maye's final line was one that could have easily been generated in victory, but the 2024 first-round pick couldn't quite help the Patriots keep pace with the high-powered Bears offense. Nevertheless, Maye was able to post his second 300-yard effort in the last three games, while also tossing multiple touchdowns for the fourth straight contest. Maye connected with Rhamondre Stevenson and Eli Raridon from 48 and 30 yards, respectively, for those two scoring strikes, the former coming off a screen pass on the last play of the first half. Those big plays were preceded by Maye's seven-yard scoring run early in the second quarter, and he also pulled his season completion rate up to 65.9 percent with Thursday's highly efficient effort. The third-year signal-caller should have a good opportunity to stay hot in a Week 8 road matchup against the Dolphins on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Lock (elbow) was a limited practice participant Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Lock has now been limited in each of Seattle's past five practice sessions, though he was able to suit up last Thursday against Denver. It seems likely that he'll be active again for this Sunday's matchup against Kansas City, though Seattle's practice report Friday should provide more clarity in that regard. If Lock does indeed suit up Sunday, he'll again work as Sam Darnold's backup.

Beck (back) did not participate at practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Beck popped up on the Cardinals' injury report with a back issue Wednesday, and he's now trending in the wrong direction ahead of a Week 7 matchup versus the Broncos. If he can't get back on the practice field Friday, it's unlikely he'll be available in any capacity come Sunday.

Keenum (coach's decision) is inactive but will operate as the Bears' emergency third quarterback for Thursday night's matchup against the Patriots.

Keenum will serve as the No. 3 QB for the second straight week while Tyson Bagent slots in as the primary backup behind starter Caleb Williams. Keenum will only be eligible to enter the contest if both Williams and Bagent are forced out of the game.

Morton (coach's decision) is inactive and designated as New England's emergency third quarterback for Thursday's matchup versus Chicago.

This has become the routine for Morton, who has worked as the Patriots' emergency third quarterback every week so far this season. The role has yet to land the rookie QB any game reps, and he'll be eligible to enter Thursday's contest only if both quarterbacks ahead of him (Drake Maye and Tommy DeVito) are forced to exit due to injury, illness or ejection.

Jackson (ankle) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.

Jackson joined his teammates for the start of practice Thursday but didn't go through the entire session without limitations, resulting in a second consecutive limited listing. He'll have one more chance Friday to upgrade to full participation as Jackson tries to limit his absence to two games. If Jackson sits out Sunday against the Bengals, Tyler Huntley would make a third consecutive start.

Love (back) was a full practice participant Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Love opened Week 7 prep as limited at Wednesday's walkthrough due to a back injury. Head coach Matt LaFleur told Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Thursday that Love emerged from this past Sunday's win against the Cowboys with a sore back, which was the result of some big hits that forced the quarterback to visit a chiropractor. Love's upgrade to full has him in the clear ahead of Sunday's visit to the Lions, against whom he tossed six touchdowns and no interceptions in two matchups in 2025.
