Bengals coach Zac Taylor said Wednesday that he hasn't shut the door on Burrow (toe) returning this season, ESPN.com's Ben Baby reports.

Multiple reports have suggested a recovery timeline of around three months once Burrow undergoes surgery to address his toe injury. If accurate, that would make him unlikely to play until the very end of the regular season, if at all. Taylor, however, said he's ruling Burrow out only for the next four weeks -- the required minimum for the QB's stint on injured reserve. Jake Browning will take over as Cincinnati's starting QB in the meantime.

Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said Wednesday that Brosmer will operate as the No. 2 quarterback behind Carson Wentz during Sunday's game against the Bengals, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Brosmer spent the first two weeks of the regular season handling emergency No. 3 quarterback duties, but with J.J. McCarthy (ankle) now likely out at least two weeks, he's set for a temporary promotion behind Wentz. Meanwhile, new roster addition Desmond Ridder will work as the No. 3 quarterback versus Cincinnati on Sunday.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Purdy (toe/shoulder) will be limited at Wednesday's practice, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Purdy emerged from a Week 1 win at Seattle with a turf toe variant, which sidelined him this past Sunday in New Orleans. As the 49ers begin preparations for Sunday's home opener against the Cardinals, Shanahan is giving Purdy "a chance" to return to action, even as the emergency third quarterback, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. As a result, it appears Purdy and fill-in Week 2 starter Mac Jones are in consideration to lead San Francisco's offense Week 3.

Daniels (knee) won't practice any earlier than Friday this week, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Daniels won't practice Wednesday or Thursday, instead focusing on rehab for the knee sprain he suffered last Thursday in Green Bay. The extra time off in between games helps his cause, but Daniels nonetheless appears in danger of missing Sunday's game against Las Vegas. Marcus Mariota will get the start at QB if Daniels doesn't.

Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Daniels (knee) won't practice Wednesday but "had a good rehab session today and threw out on the field," Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Daniels is considered day-to-day after suffering a knee sprain during last Thursday's loss to the Packers. He now has two chances left to upgrade to at least limited practice activity before being tagged with a tentative injury designation for Sunday's home matchup against the Raiders. Backup Marcus Mariota will step up under center in the event that Daniels isn't cleared to suit up Week 3.

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Wednesday that Taylor will start Sunday's game on the road against Tampa Bay with Justin Fields (concussion) ruled out, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

Taylor will draw at least one start while Fields works his way through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. The veteran QB entered New York's 30-10 loss to the Bills in Week 2 in the fourth quarter, completing seven of 11 passes for 56 yards and a score while playing the Jets' final two drives. He also rushed three times for 21 yards, looking more efficient in command of New York's offense than Fields had through the first three quarters. Taylor's modest dual-threat upside at age 36 makes him a viable fantasy option in formats that start two quarterbacks.

Coach Aaron Glenn noted Wednesday that Fields (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Buccaneers.

As a result, Tyrod Taylor is slated to draw the start at QB for the Jets this weekend. Fields will thus look to progress through the NFL's concussion protocol ahead of the team's Sept. 29 contest against the Dolphins. Per Rich Cimini of ESPN, Fields was injured early in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's loss Bills, marking the signal-caller's first documented concussion in the NFL, though the 2021 first-rounder did sustain one during his time at Ohio State.

The Bengals signed Clifford to the practice squad Tuesday.

Clifford was unable to make the Packers' active roster at the end of training camp. However, the 2023 fifth-rounder has a new opportunity in Cincinnati, where he and Mike White will join the practice squad after Brett Rypien was promoted to the active roster to serve as the QB2 behind Jake Browning. Clifford appeared in two regular-season games in 2023 with the Packers but did not start in either of those contests.

The Bengals signed White to the practice squad Tuesday.

The Bengals added both White and Sean Clifford to the practice squad in the wake of Joe Burrow (toe) being placed on injured reserve. Brett Rypien was promoted to the active roster and will serve as Jake Browning's backup, but White or Clifford could eventually challenge Rypien for QB2 duties. White was cut by the Bills in late August after failing to beat out Mitchell Trubisky for the backup role behind Josh Allen. White has appeared in 15 regular-season games (seven starts) since being selected by the Cowboys in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

Ridder agreed to a contract with the Vikings on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle) will avoid a stint on injured reserve, but since he's considered week-to-week and is likely to miss multiple games, the Vikings will bring Ridder aboard to bolster their depth under center. Carson Wentz looks on track to replace McCarthy as the Vikings' starter beginning with Sunday's game against the Bengals, but Ridder could displace undrafted rookie Max Brosmer for the top backup job. A 2022 third-round pick, Ridder has made 25 appearances (18 starts) through his first three NFL seasons between stops with the Falcons and Raiders, completing 63.6 percent of his passes for 6.8 yards per attempt and a 16:14 TD:INT while adding 293 yards and five scores on the ground.
