Shough completed 27 of 34 passes for 252 yards and a touchdown while adding 23 yards and a TD on nine carries in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Ravens.

The second-year QB had a slow start to the contest, but Shough engineered another second-half comeback for the Saints, and this one was actually successful. He hit Chris Olave for a 21-yard TD early in the fourth quarter before just getting across the goal line for a one-yard score inside the final two minutes. Shough has 662 passing yards and a 4:2 TD:INT through two games to begin the season, and he'll take plenty of confidence and momentum into a Week 3 home clash with the Raiders.

Williams won't return to Sunday's contest versus the Vikings due to a hamstring injury.

Williams appeared to suffer a non-contact injury to his right leg as he scrambled inside Minnesota's 10-yard line in the middle of the fourth quarter. He was in visible pain afterward, needed assistance to get to the medical tent and then was carted to the locker room before the nature of the health concern was revealed. Its severity isn't yet known, but for as long as Williams is sidelined, Tyson Bagent will direct the Bears offense.

Rourke (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins but will serve as the emergency third quarterback.

As the emergency third quarterback, Rourke is not allowed to play Sunday unless both starter Brock Purdy and backup Mac Jones were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Cook (coach's decision) is inactive as the Dolphins' emergency third quarterback for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Cook will be the emergency option behind Malik Willis and Kyle McCord, set to enter the game only if both active players cannot continue to play. The quarterback will likely remain in this role unless he outperforms McCord enough to gain the backup spot.

Williams left Sunday's game against the Vikings with an apparent right leg injury, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Williams' right leg gave out under him as he scrambled to his left toward the end zone in the middle of the fourth quarter. He needed assistance to get to the sideline, and if he's unable to return, he'll finish Week 2 action with 138 yards, no touchdowns and one interception on 15-for-26 passing and five carries for 42 yards.

Beck (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the emergency third quarterback against the Seahawks on Sunday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

For a second consecutive week, Beck will be the Cardinals' emergency QB3 behind Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew. That means Beck cannot play Sunday unless both Brissett and Minshew were to be removed from the game due to illness, injury or ejection.

Kaliakmanis (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Commanders' emergency third quarterback against the Cowboys on Sunday.

Kaliakmanis once again will be the emergency QB3, meaning he is not permitted to play Sunday unless both Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Ewers (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Ewers will once again be inactive as Trevor Lawrence and Nick Mullens are set to be the starting and backup quarterbacks, respectively, for Sunday's contest. The Jaguars acquired Ewers from the Dolphins to be the depth option behind Lawrence, but it appears they may use all of Mullens' practice-squad elevations before resorting to that plan.

Ehlinger (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the emergency third quarterback against the Jaguars on Sunday, Susanna Weir of the Broncos' official site reports.

For a second consecutive week, Ehlinger will be the emergency QB3 behind Bo Nix and backup Jarrett Stidham. Ehlinger is prohibited from playing Sunday unless both Nix and Stidham were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Dalton is active as the Eagles' top backup quarterback for Sunday's game against the Titans.

After facing competition from Tanner McKee and rookie Cole Payton for the No. 2 job behind Jalen Hurts throughout training camp and the preseason, Dalton has emerged as the victor in the job battle. Dalton will suit up for the second week in a row, while McKee is inactive as the emergency No. 3 quarterback and Payton is also donning street clothes.
