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

Rypien won't count against Minnesota's gameday roster limit but will be eligible to enter the game if Sam Darnold or Nick Mullens suffer injuries Sunday. Rypien has not taken a snap yet this season.

Ehlinger (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets but will serve as Indianapolis' emergency quarterback.

Ehlinger has yet to take a snap this season and won't count against the Colts' gameday roster limit. However, he'll be eligible to enter the game if Anthony Richardson and Joe Flacco suffer injuries Sunday.

Jackson (knee/rest) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh.

The Ravens limited Jackson's practice reps for a third straight week, but there's been no sign of trouble during games, with the reigning MVP throwing for 570 yards and seven TDs the past two weeks. He's locked in as a top-three fantasy play at his position, even for a road game against a tough defense that's given him trouble throughout his career (four passing TDs and zero rushing scores in four full games against the Steelers).

Hurts completed 18 of 28 passes for 221 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed 10 times for 39 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 26-18 win over the Commanders on Thursday night.

Hurts often found the going tough against an improving Commanders defense, and he went without a touchdown pass for the first time since Week 3. However, the star signal-caller was able to lean on Saquon Barkley and his defense as the second half unfolded while also contributing a go-ahead one-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter. All but two of Hurts' completions went to the familiar quartet of A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Barkley and Dallas Goedert, and he steered clear of interceptions for the sixth time in the last seven contests. Hurts now will have extra time to ready himself for a favorable Week 12 Sunday night road matchup against the Rams on Nov. 24.

Daniels completed 22 of 32 passes for 191 yards with one touchdown and one interception while adding seven rushes for 18 yards in the Commanders' 26-18 loss to the Eagles on Thursday night. He also threw a two-point conversion pass.

Daniels salvaged his fantasy night to an extent with a five-yard touchdown pass to Zach Ertz with 28 seconds remaining and a subsequent two-point conversion pass to the veteran tight end in the back of the end zone that was originally ruled out of bounds. Prior to that, the talented rookie had scuffled through a fairly unremarkable game that also saw him evaluated for a concussion shortly before halftime and the Eagles do an effective job of limiting his rushing yards and keeping passes in front of them. The LSU product ultimately recorded at least one completion to nine different players, but only one, Austin Ekeler, tallied more than 47 receiving yards. Daniels has now seen his passing yardage drop in three consecutive games following his career-best 326-yard showing against the Bears in Week 8, although Michael Phillips of The Richmonder also reports the second overall pick had a cut on his hand that had to be glued shut at one point in the second half. Daniels now will have extra time to regroup and recover before a Week 12 home matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday, Nov. 24.

McKee (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday night's game against Washington.

McKee will serve as the Eagles' emergency third-string quarterback Thursday, meaning he can only play if Jalen Hurts and Kenny Pickett are both knocked out of the game due to injury. McKee has yet to play a regular-season snap since being selected by the Eagles in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

Drisker (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday night's game against Philadelphia, but he will serve as Washington's emergency third quarterback, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

As the emergency quarterback, Driskel will only see the field if starter Jayden Daniels and backup Marcus Mariota were both to be knocked out of Thursday's game due to injury. Driskel hasn't taken a snap on offense since Week 2 against the Giants.

Jackson (non-injury related-rest/knee) was limited at practice Thursday, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

Jackson has been managing a knee issue of late, so it's not surprising to see the Ravens limit his practice reps Thursday for maintenance purposes. Chances are, Jackson will return to a full session Friday and approach Sunday's game against the Steelers without an injury designation.

Darnold (right hand) practiced fully Thursday.

One day removed from being limited due to an injury to his throwing hand Wednesday, Darnold was able to handle every practice rep, paving the way for him to continue to direct the Vikings offense. On Sunday, he'll be taking on a Titans defense that has given up the second-fewest yards per attempt (6.21) to opposing quarterbacks on the campaign.

Cousins (right shoulder/right elbow) practiced fully Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

After opening Week 11 prep with a limited session due to a pair of health concerns, Cousins was back to full participation one day later. With his status clear ahead of the weekend, he'll turn his attention to Sunday's contest and a Broncos defense that hasn't allowed a 300-yard passer in 10 games this season.
