  • Mac Jones QB | SF

    49ers' Mac Jones: Tosses three TDs in win

    Jones completed 26 of 39 passes for 279 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Saints. He added six rushing yards on six carries.

    The three passing TDs tied the former Patriot's career high, as Jones connected with Luke Farrell in the first quarter, Christian McCaffrey in the second and Jauan Jennings in the fourth. With Brock Purdy (toe/shoulder) expected to miss multiple games, Jones could get a chance to grow comfortable at the helm of the 49ers' offense, although he'll be without the services of George Kittle (hamstring) and Brandon Aiyuk (knee). Assuming Purdy doesn't make a rapid recovery, Jones will look to carry his momentum into a Week 3 matchup against the Cardinals.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Rare breakout against Browns

    Jackson completed 19 of 29 passes for 225 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions while adding two rushes for 13 yards in the Ravens' 41-17 win over the Browns on Sunday.

    A Browns defense that has traditionally given Jackson some trouble wasn't able to quite contain him as it had in the past, particularly during a second half in which Baltimore's offense compiled 24 points overall. Jackson contributed directly to 21 of those points with touchdown passes of two and 24 yards to Devontez Walker and a 23-yard scoring strike to DeAndre Hopkins. That trio of TD tosses was preceded by a 15-yard connection with Tylan Wallace in the second quarter, giving Jackson his first tally of at least three scoring passes since Week 15 of last season. Jackson has opened 2025 with a 6:0 TD:INT and next faces a Lions team coming off a rout of the Bears in a Week 3 interconference home showdown on Monday night, Sept. 22.

  • Joe Burrow QB | CIN

    Bengals' Joe Burrow: Seen with walking boot after game

    Burrow, who injured his toe during Sunday's 31-27 win over the Jaguars, was seen afterward with a walking boot on his left foot and using crutches as he exited the Bengals' locker room, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    While coach Zac Taylor told Baby that he didn't have an immediate update on Burrow, given the quarterback was unable to return after his second-quarter exit and the description of how he was getting around after the game, Burrow's Week 3 status is cloudy. If Burrow ends up missing next Sunday's game against the Vikings, or time beyond that, Jake Browning -- who threw for 241 yards with two TDs and three picks versus the Jaguars -- would be in line to start in his place.

  • Josh Allen QB | BUF

    Bills' Josh Allen: Takes back seat in Week 2 win

    Allen completed 14 of 25 passes for 148 yards and rushed six times for 59 yards in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.

    Allen came out for the final two plays of the first quarter but returned to start the second quarter with gauze in his nose. After putting the team on his back in Week 1 against the Ravens, Allen let his defense and running game do most of the work in this one before resting for the final two possessions as backup Mitchell Trubisky mopped up. With the Bills averaging 36.0 points per game heading into Thursday's home game against the Dolphins, Allen's ceiling remains sky-high, even if he doesn't always have to bring his A-game to win.

  • Justin Fields QB | NYJ

    Jets' Justin Fields: Sustains concussion Sunday

    Fields sustained a concussion during Sunday's game against the Bills, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com and Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports report.

    Before his departure from the Jets' 30-10 loss, Fields completed three of 11 pass attempts for 27 yards and added five carries for 49 yards. With the QB's concussion confirmed by the Jets, per Cimini, Fields now will have to progress through the NFL's protocol for head injuries in order to play next weekend against the Buccaneers. If Fields isn't cleared for Week 3 action, Tyrod Taylor would be in line to start in his place.

  • Justin Fields QB | NYJ

    Jets' Justin Fields: Exits Sunday's game

    Fields was forced out of Sunday's game against the Bills to be evaluated for a possible concussion.

    Prior to heading to the locker room to get checked out, Fields completed three of his 11 pass attempts for 27 yards and carried five times for 49 yards. In Fields' absence, Tyrod Taylor has taken over at quarterback for the Jets.

  • Joe Burrow QB | CIN

    Bengals' Joe Burrow: Won't return to Sunday's game

    Burrow (toe) won't return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Per Ben Baby of ESPN.com, Burrow sustained his toe injury when he was sacked with 8:36 left in the second quarter of Sunday's contest. The quarterback, who walked off the field with the assistance of trainers, subsequently underwent an MRI, per Joe Danneman of FOX19 before being ruled out. Burrow's status now will need to be closely monitored ahead of next weekend's tilt against the Vikings, with Jake Browning next in line for the Bengals' QB snaps, and Brett Rypien currently a member of the team's practice squad.

  • Tanner McKee QB | PHI

    Eagles' Tanner McKee: Emergency QB for Week 2

    McKee (thumb) is inactive but will serve as the Eagles' emergency third-string quarterback against the Chiefs on Sunday.

    McKee is still recovering from a fractured right thumb that he suffered during training camp. He will be the Eagles' third-string quarterback for Sunday's Super Bowl LIX rematch, which means he'll only see the field if both Jalen Hurts and Sam Howell were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

  • Joe Burrow QB | CIN

    Bengals' Joe Burrow: Injures toe Sunday

    Burrow was forced out of Sunday's game against the Jaguars with a left toe injury.

    Following Burrow's exit from the contest, Jake Browning took over at QB for the Bengals. The Bengals subsequently announced that Burrow's return to the game is questionable.

  • Riley Leonard QB | IND

    Colts' Riley Leonard: Emergency QB3 vs. Denver

    Leonard (coach's decision) is inactive against the Broncos on Sunday but will serve as the Colts' emergency third-string quarterback.

    As the emergency third-string quarterback, Leonard will see the field Sunday only if both Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson were to leave due to injury, illness or ejection.
