Rodgers said Wednesday that he was bothered by back tightness during Sunday's 34-32 win over the Jets, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Rodgers said his back prevented him from moving around well and may have contributed to some of the sacks he took (four). The veteran QB also threw four touchdown passes, and while he may show up on the Week 2 injury report, he'll likely be ready to face the Seahawks come Sunday.

Woodside signed with the Steelers' practice squad Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

The 2018 seventh-round pick from Toledo signed with the Steelers in early August but failed to make the initial 53-man roster and was cut. With both Will Howard (hand) and Skylar Thompson (hamstring) now on injured reserve, Woodside's signing ensures quarterback depth in Pittsburgh. He'll likely be elevated to the active roster and serve as the Steelers' emergency third quarterback for Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks.

Thompson (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Thompson popped up on the Steelers' injury report with a hamstring injury prior to their Week 1 win over the Jets, and the issue now appears serious enough for him to land on IR. Pittsburgh's emergency third quarterback will now miss at least four games, with his earliest possible return coming in Week 7 against the Bengals. With rookie Will Howard (hand) also on IR, the Steelers' quarterback room now consists of just Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph.

The Saints signed Dekkers to the practice squad Tuesday.

This is Dekkers' second stint on the Saints' practice squad after he was let go by the team Thursday. Dekkers and Jake Haener are the two quarterbacks on the practice squad and both are candidates to be elevated to the 53-man roster as an emergency third-string quarterback behind Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough.

The Saints signed Haener to the practice squad Tuesday.

Haener will return to New Orleans on the practice squad after being let go from the active roster Saturday. Haener would be a candidate to be elevated to the active roster as an emergency quarterback or as a backup if Spencer Rattler or Tyler Shough were to miss time.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Tuesday that he has "zero concerns" about Daniels' right wrist after the quarterback appeared on the team's initial Week 2 injury report, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

The Commanders are facing a quick turnaround with a road matchup versus the Packers on Thursday night, but Daniels doesn't look to be at any real risk of sitting out. Even though he's being listed on the injury report, the Commanders still gauged him as a full participant on Monday's practice estimate. Daniels is unlikely to take many practice reps on a short week, but unless the wrist injury is more serious than Quinn is letting on, the second-year signal-caller still profiles as a strong fantasy play this week.

Williams completed 21 of 35 passes for 210 yards and a touchdown while rushing six times for 58 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings.

Williams got the Ben Johnson era off to an efficient start, hitting his first 10 throws under Chicago's new head coach and play caller. That strong stretch also included a nine-yard Williams rushing touchdown to cap the opening drive. His first miss was a costly one, though, as it came on fourth down well into Vikings territory. Chicago took a 17-6 lead into the fourth quarter, but the Vikings responded with 21 unanswered points before Williams finally stemmed the bleeding with a one-yard touchdown pass to Rome Odunze with 2:02 remaining. The Bears got the ball back in the final seconds but couldn't muster a final push. Williams' rushing production was encouraging, but he struggled with accuracy after his hot start through the air. He'll try to put together a more complete performance against the Lions in Week 2.

McCarthy completed 13 of 20 passes for 143 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while adding two carries for 25 yards and another score in the Vikings' 27-24 win over the Bears on Monday night. He also threw a two-point conversion pass.

Making his long-awaited regular-season debut, McCarthy mostly scuffled through the first three quarters before igniting a 21-point outburst in the final period. The 2024 first-round pick connected with Justin Jefferson and Aaron Jones for fourth-quarter touchdown passes of 13 and 27 yards, respectively, and he followed those scoring strikes with a 14-yard touchdown run to extend Minnesota's 20-17 lead at the 2:53 mark of the fourth quarter. McCarthy also completed a two-point conversion to Adam Thielen, and he connected with seven different targets overall when factoring in that scoring toss. The second-year signal-caller now will prepare for his home regular-season debut, a Week 2 matchup against the Falcons on Sunday night.

The 49ers are expected to give Purdy (toe/shoulder) the entire week ahead of this coming Sunday's game at New Orleans to see if he'll be healthy enough to play, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Coach Kyle Shanahan revealed Monday that Purdy suffered a pair of injuries during Sunday's victory in Seattle. The toe issue is worse than the shoulder concern, per David Lombardi of SFStandard.com, which is to his non-throwing arm. Purdy was able to play all 76 offensive snaps and completed 26 of 35 passes for 277 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions and turned five carries into 17 yards. If Purdy needs to miss any time, Mac Jones is waiting in the wings for spot starts.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Purdy emerged from Sunday's win at Seattle with shoulder and toe injuries, and his availability for this coming Sunday's game in New Orleans is in question, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports. "We're not sure," Shanahan added. "We've got to see how it heals and how the week goes on it."

Shanahan noted that Purdy's toe issue is the worse of the two health concerns, but the QB still gutted through them Week 1, completing 26 of 35 passes for 277 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions while rushing five times for 17 yards. If Purdy isn't able to suit up Week 2, Mac Jones would get the spot start under center.
