Rattler completed 25 of 34 passes for 207 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the 49ers. He added 14 rushing yards on four carries.

The second-year quarterback kept the Saints in the game with TD tosses Juwan Johnson in the second quarter, Rashid Shaheed in the third and Devaughn Vele in the fourth, but Rattler's attempt at a game-winning drive in the final three minutes stalled out around midfield. The three scores were a career high for the QB, who tossed only four in seven games as a rookie. Perhaps more impressive is the fact he's gone two straight starts without committing a turnover to begin 2025. Rattler will try to get his team into the win column in Week 3 against the Seahawks.

Darnold completed 22 of 33 passes for 295 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Steelers.

Darnold threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Tory Horton on the opening drive, but Seattle failed to score on any of its other five first-half possessions, two of which ended in Darnold interceptions. He found success again at the start of the second half, tying the game at 14-14 with a seven-yard touchdown pass to AJ Barner. Seattle's defense and the Kenneth Walker-led rushing attack took over from there as Darnold earned his first win with the team. Darnold posted a 35:12 TD:INT with the Vikings in the 2024 regular season but has a modest 2:2 mark heading into a Week 3 home game against the Saints.

Taylor completed seven of 11 passes for 56 yards and a touchdown while rushing three times for 21 yards after replacing Justin Fields (concussion) in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Bills.

Taylor played the final two drives after Fields exited in the fourth quarter. The passing attack looked more effective with Taylor in the game, as Fields threw for only 27 yards prior to his injury. Taylor's touchdown pass was a five-yarder to Jeremy Ruckert to finish off the scoring Sunday. Fields will be hard-pressed to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol prior to the Jets' Week 3 road game in Tampa Bay, so Taylor could be in line to make the 59th regular-season start of his NFL career.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
