  • Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Tending to toe issue

    Mayfield didn't practice Wednesday due to a toe injury.

    Mayfield was able to force overtime Monday at Kansas City but then never got a chance to move the ball in the extra period in an eventual 30-24 loss. Overall, he completed 23 of 31 passes for 200 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions without the services of his top three wide receivers. Mayfield himself is now tending to a health concern, so his status will be monitored as the week continues to see if he may be in danger of sitting out Sunday against the 49ers.

  • Caleb Williams QB | CHI

    Bears' Caleb Williams: Clear of ankle injury

    Williams (ankle) wasn't listed on the Bears' first Week 10 injury report posted Wednesday.

    Williams injured his left ankle on the Bears' last play of this past Sunday's loss in Arizona, but he said afterward that he expected to be fine moving forward. His activity at Wednesday's practice confirmed as much, paving the way for him to continue leading Chicago's offense Sunday versus the Patriots.

  • Will Levis QB | TEN

    Titans' Will Levis: Limited to start week

    Levis (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Levis was a limited participant throughout last week and missed a third straight game during the Titans' overtime win over the Patriots. According to Wyatt, head coach Brian Callahan said Wednesday that the plan was for Levis to get more reps this week and possibly return for Sunday's game against the Chargers, although Mason Rudolph will continue to get at least a portion of the first-team work in practice.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Avoids injury designation

    Jackson (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Bengals.

    The Ravens listed Jackson as a non-participant Tuesday before he upgraded to full practice activity Wednesday. Head coach John Harbaugh recently said the Ravens may limit Jackson's practice reps but don't have any concern about minor knee and back injuries leading to the quarterback missing games. Jackson gets a favorable Week 10 matchup with a Bengals defense that he racked up 348 passing yards and four touchdowns against in a 41-38 overtime victory in Week 5.

  • Justin Fields QB | PIT

    Steelers' Justin Fields: Healthy after bye week

    Fields (hamstring) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Fields was inactive in Week 8 against the Giants, but he's back healthy following Pittsburgh's Week 9 bye. With Russell Wilson having since taken over as the Steelers' starting quarterback while guiding Pittsburgh to two wins in as many outings, Fields will return to the top backup role Sunday against the Commanders. Third-string quarterback Kyle Allen is likely to be inactive for Week 10.

  • Bryce Young QB | CAR

    Panthers' Bryce Young: Named Week 10 starter

    Young will start Sunday's game against the Giants in Munich, but Panthers had coach Dave Canales was unwilling to commit to the quarterback continuing to start beyond Week 10, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.

    In other words, the Panthers are still viewing the quarterback position as a week-to-week situation, with Young perpetually a bad game or two away from turning the offense back over to veteran Andy Dalton. The 23-year-old will make his third consecutive start this Sunday, after pulling off a 23-22 win over the Saints in Week 9 to improve his career record as a starter to 3-17.

  • Bryce Young QB | CAR

    Panthers' Bryce Young: Likely getting another start

    Young appears likely to start this Sunday against the Giants in Munich, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    The Panthers haven't yet named a starter, with general manager Dan Morgan deferring the decision to head coach Dave Canales. However, Newton suggests that "everything points toward Young starting his third straight game." Last year's No. 1 overall pick earned his third career win this past Sunday, albeit with a modest passing line (16-of-26 for 171 yards, one touchdown and one interception) in a 23-22 victory over the injury-riddled Saints. Andy Dalton was active for the contest as a backup, after missing the prior game due to a thumb sprain suffered in a car accident.

  • Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Set for full practice Wednesday

    Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that Mahomes (ankle) will be a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

    Mahomes had a bit of a scare in Monday's 30-24 overtime win over the Buccaneers, as he appeared to roll his left ankle during his second touchdown pass of the game early in the fourth quarter. Though he required assistance off the field, Mahomes was able to return for the Chiefs' next possession and didn't wind up missing any snaps on the night, despite having to play through some pain the rest of the way. With further evaluation after the game apparently turning up nothing concerning, Mahomes doesn't look as though he'll face any limitations heading into the Chiefs' Week 10 game against the Broncos on Sunday.

  • C.J. Beathard QB | JAC

    Jaguars' C.J. Beathard: Moving back to Jacksonville

    Beathard signed with the Jaguars' 53-man roster Wednesday.

    Beathard was on the Dolphins' practice squad before the move and will provide quarterback depth for Jacksonville while Trevor Lawrence nurses a shoulder injury. The Iowa product was with the Jaguars during training camp and appeared in seven games for the team last season. If Lawrence is unable to play Sunday against the Vikings, Beathard would likely operate as the No. 2 quarterback, behind Mac Jones.

  • Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Nursing sore shoulder

    Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said that Lawrence is dealing with a sore left shoulder and will be a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

    Lawrence is tending to the injury to his non-throwing shoulder after getting banged up on a hit during the first half of this past Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Eagles. The issue didn't result in Lawrence missing any snaps, but with the signal-caller's practice reps being capped to begin Week 10 prep, Pederson said that it was too early to say that Lawrence will start this Sunday's game against the Vikings, per DiRocco. The Jaguars signed C.J. Beathard off the Dolphins' practice squad earlier Wednesday to provide insurance at quarterback behind Lawrence, though Pederson noted that Mac Jones remains the top backup and would start if Lawrence can't play.
