Winston (knee) completed 23 of 37 passes for 261 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in Thursday's 43-28 loss to the Falcons. He also gained 14 yards on two rushes and lost a fumble, before exiting midway the fourth quarter due to a knee injury sustained on a two-point conversion rushing attempt.

Winston performed reasonably well despite having to play catch-up throughout the second half, which also led to him puting up his highest number of pass attempts since Week 3. Despite the Bucs' collection of problems, particularly at home, Winston actually has a 9:1 TD:INT ratio over the four games following a forgettable 179-yard, two-interception performance against the Broncos in Week 4. He also reportedly told head coach Dirk Koetter that his knee is fine following the game, although the team's medical staff will naturally provide the final word on that front. Mike Glennon, who hadn't taken a regular-season snap since 2014, completed 10 of 11 passes for 75 yards and a touchdown in mop-up duty for Winston. The 2015 first overall pick's status will likely be updated at some point on Friday, and if the ailment is indeed minor, the team's 10-day layoff before a Week 10 tilt against the Bears could provide enough recovery time for him to suit up for that contest.

Winston is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Falcons after suffering a knee injury.

Winston sustained the injury taking a hit on a two-point conversion attempt. He was then seen standing on the sideline after being evaluated by the training staff. A return seems unlikely given the game situation.

Wilson (knee/pectoral) completed a full practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Wilson has consistently landed on the injury report this season, but even if he's able to handle every rep in a given practice, his mobility has been lacking on game day. The development has had a trickle-down effect on his game logs and those of the skill-position players within Seattle's offense. In particular, he hasn't recorded a touchdown in three consecutive games and is averaging just a career-worst 1.8 YPC.

Bradford completed 23 of 37 passes for 228 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's loss to the Bears.

Bradford was sacked five times Monday night, when he and the Vikings' offense could get much going altogether. Minnesota didn't score its lone touchdown until the fourth quarter, but Bradford's 25-yard toss to wideout Stefon Diggs at least provided a late boost to both players' outputs. Also, unlike last week's three turnovers, Bradford played a clean game Monday, avoiding any fantasy deductions. After starting the season so well, Bradford and the Vikings have sputtered in the two games following their bye week, something they'll aim to correct in Sunday's home game against the Lions.

Vikings athletic trainer Eric Sugarman said Bridgewater (knee) is now walking without crutches, ESPN.com's Ben Goessling reports.

Sugarman said the quarterback is making good progress, regaining range of motion and strength in his surgically repaired left knee. Bridgewater still has a brace and is only eight weeks into a lengthy process, but it sounds as if he's right on schedule so far. The goal is to have him ready for Week 1 next season.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he expects Prescott to start next week's game against the Browns following Sunday night's dramatic OT win over the Eagles, The Dallas Morning News reports.

Jones couched the decision as based on Tony Romo's health, rather than the rookie's six-game winning streak. "My opinion is that we would want him to have more strength work done," Jones said of Romo. "He's really doing well. Probably as well as at any time last year as far as strength in his back is concerned. But he's got some more work to do." Nonetheless, if Prescott keeps producing wins, it'll become harder and harder for the front office or coaching staff to justify taking him out of the lineup.

Prescott completed 19 of 39 passes for 287 yards, two touchdowns and an interception, adding seven carries for 38 yards and another score in Sunday's 29-23 overtime win over the Eagles.

Prescott wasn't quite as sharp as he has been for most of the season, and yet his mixture of big plays and late-game heroics still more than made up for some missed throws. He benefited from the long-awaited return of Dez Bryant, who had four catches for 113 yards and a touchdown, though he needed 14 targets to get there. All in all, this was yet another performance that should work in Prescott's favor, but it's still unclear just how long he'll keep the starting job. The Cowboys may want to see how both Prescott and Tony Romo (collarbone) look in practice ahead of a Week 9 contest in Cleveland.

Winston completed 16 of 32 passes for 180 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Raiders. He also gained 16 yards on three rushes.

Although he didn't turn the ball over, Winston's performance still has to be considered somewhat disappointing, considering the matchup against a vulnerable Raiders defense that also went without CB Sean Smith after the first play of the game. The sophomore quarterback only averaged 5.6 yards per attempt, and, after having burned the Rams for 405 yards back in Week 3, he's now failed to hit the 200-yard mark twice in the subsquent four games. He also came up small in the most crucial moments of the game, going just 5-for-12 for 34 yards and a touchdown over the fourth quarter and overtime. On the plus side, Winston now has multiple touchdowns in back-to-back contests for the first time this season, but he'll have to step up his game overall to get the Bucs over the hump. Tampa's Week 9 matchup is likely as good a game as any to start showing some improvement, as they welcome the high-powered Falcons offense to town for a Thursday night tussle.

Siemian completed 20 of 38 passes for 276 yards and an interception in Sunday's win over San Diego. He also lost a fumble in the contest.

It was a bit of a head-scratching performance from Siemian - perfectly encapsulated in a second quarter drive. First, Siemian uncorked a beautiful 37-yard bomb to Emmanuel Sanders to put the Broncos in scoring position and make some wonder where such passes have been all season. Then, a few plays later, he failed to secure the ball on a sack - losing a fumble when Denver would have otherwise had a chip-shot field goal. The two turnovers were Siemian's first since Week 2, so he certainly fits Denver's mold of protecting the ball and playing good defense, but he's also done little to spark the offense - averaging just over six yards per attempt with three touchdowns since his four-touchdown coming-out against Cincinnati.

Wilson completed 22 of 34 pass attempts for 253 yards and an interception Sunday against the Saints. He added 11 yards on three carries in the 25-20 loss.

Presented with an excellent matchup on paper, Wilson was unable to find the end zone for the third straight game and managed a pedestrian 7.4 yards per attempt, despite completing 65 percent of his passes. Wilson has turned the ball over just three times, but he has only five passing touchdowns, has yet to score on the ground and has managed just 44 rushing yards through seven games. He has been hampered by injuries this season, and although his team sits at 4-2-1 he is clearly not performing up to the lofty standards he has set for himself. Seattle will face a Bills defense in Week 9 that just surrendered 41 points to New England, presenting Wilson with a chance to bounce back after another week's removal from his physical ailments.
