Cousins completed 30 of 43 passes for 329 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Monday night's season-opening loss to the Steelers.

Cousins and the Redskins offense struggled without a running game Monday night, when a second-half deficit also worked against Cousins to put him in predictable passing situations. Although playing from behind helped him accumulate over 300 yards while completing passes to eight different receivers, Cousins was at fault on a few throws, which resulted in two interceptions and zero touchdowns. His second pick came in the game's final minute from three yards out, ruining an opportunity to end his night on a positive note. After a disappointing Week 1 showing, Cousins and the Redskins will aim to bounce back at home against the Cowboys this Sunday.

Jones (shoulder) was a limited participant in Monday's practice.

Jones was considered questionable heading into Week 1, and ended up as an inactive. The Bills have a short week, as they play Thursday against the Jets. This will leave Jones limited in recovery time heading into the matchup. Regardless, both Tyrod Taylor and backup EJ Manuel are considered healthy.

Goff is a healthy scratch for Monday's game in San Francisco, Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

As expected, Goff will open his NFL career in street clothes, with Sean Mannion backing up Case Keenum. The roles may be reversed for Week 2, depending on how Goff and Mannion look at practice during the upcoming week. Either way, Keenum seems to have some margin for error in the starting role.

Wilson (ankle) is expected to be a participant in Wednesday's practice, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio KJR reports. "He's pretty good," head coach Pete Carroll said Monday. "He's not in a boot. He's walking around and he's practicing on Wednesday."

Wilson was clearly gimpy after a errant step from Ndamukong Suh landed on his ankle during Sunday's win against the Dolphins, but a slew of tests have revealed that the quarterback doesn't have any structural damage. Appearances at practice this week could be accompanied by a cap in reps in order to preserve him for game day, thereby affording backup QB Trevone Boykin some work with the first team. However, Carroll expects Wilson to be ready to roll once Sunday's contest at Los Angeles arrives, according to Sheil Kapadia of ESPN.com.

Wilson has a sprained ankle, but coach Pete Carroll said it is "nothing very serious," and he is expected to play Week 2 against the Rams, ESPN's Sheil Kapadia reports.

Carroll said X-rays and tests did not show any structural damage, but that it might be tough for Wilson to practice this week because of swelling. The Seahawks could bring in a veteran quarterback this week, as rookie Trevone Boykin, who had a mediocre preseason, is the backup. "He's got a sprained ankle, a little bit of swelling and he'll make it through," Carroll said. "How could you think otherwise?"

Wilson's sprained ankle could impact his availability during practice this week, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports.

Wilson tweaked his ankle after accidentally being stepped on by Ndamukong Suh during the second half of Sunday's narrow win over the Dolphins. Although he didn't miss any plays due to the ailment, he was seen sporting heavy tape on his ankle and was noticeably less mobile following the incident. According to Rapoport, Wilson's availability could be impacted by the injury, so it'll be worth monitoring his practice involvement level this week to get a better read on his situation ahead of next Sunday's game versus the Rams. Regardless, it wouldn't be surprising if the Seahawks signed a veteran quarterback this week, as rookie Trevone Boykin represents their lone backup for Wilson at the moment.

Rodgers completed 20 of 34 passes for 199 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Jaguars. He added another 16 yards and a touchdown via four carries.

Rodgers and company failed to generate big plays Sunday, making just two plays of over 22 yards, but they committed no turnovers and capitalized on field position to grind out a road win versus an improved Jags team. Rodgers notably connected with Jordy Nelson in the end zone and scored on a six-yard scramble in the first quarter-- two things that have helped him establish an extremely stable floor for production in recent seasons. He will look to build on a strong start next week versus Minnesota.

Carr completed 24 of 38 passes for 319 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's come-from-behind win over the Saints. He also added 16 yards on a pair of carries.

Carr was excellent Sunday, making up for a relatively slow start by leading three scoring drives in the fourth quarter, culminating in a beautiful fade to Michael Crabtree for the two-point conversion that ultimately decided the game. Carr enjoyed a breakout season in 2015, and Sunday's poise under pressure indicates that the third-year signal-caller continues to improve. With an excellent road victory already under his belt, Carr will set his sights on next week's home opener versus Atlanta.

Garoppolo completed 24 of 33 passes for 264 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Cardinals.

Garoppolo mostly settled for short gains after producing 10 points on his first two drives, but he did remain accurate throughout the night and kept the ball moving. As a bonus for owners in PPR leagues, he caught one of his own deflected passes for a three-yard gain, also adding 12 yards on four carries, though he did lose a fumble. With Rob Gronkowski (hamstring) unavailable for a road matchup against a tough defense, six Patriots had between four and seven targets, and LeGarrette Blount got 22 carries. Garoppolo's remaining three starts will all come at home, beginning with a Week 2 matchup against a Dolphins team that nearly pulled off an upset in Seattle on Sunday.

Stafford completed 31-of-39 pass attempts for 340 yards and three touchdowns in the Lions' 39-35 victory over the Colts. He also added five yards on the ground across two rushing attempts.

Not only did Stafford pick apart Indianapolis' injury-marred secondary for his highest yardage total since Week 6 of 2015, along the way he passed both Peyton Manning and Kurt Warner to reach second in NFL history for most passing yards by a quarterback in his first 100 games played. More impressive, though, was Stafford's composure in the fourth quarter. After Detroit managed to blow a 21-3 lead, they eventually found themselves trailing the Colts 34-35 thanks to a missed extra point by Lions K Matt Prater following the team's fifth score. However, down one with 37 seconds left in regulation, Stafford demonstrated great poise by completing three passes to three different receivers and setting Prater up for the game-winning field goal. Overall, Stafford continues to look comfortable and efficient in OC Jim Bob Cooter's newly-designed, Calvin Johnson-less offensive scheme that appeared on Sunday to revolve around getting everyone involved in the passing game, as five players each garnered at least four receptions, but none topped the team-high of seven. Up next is Detroit's home-opener against a Titans team that held Vikings QB Shaun Hill to 54.5 percent passing and zero touchdowns Week 1.
