  • Drake Maye QB | NE

    Patriots' Drake Maye: Clears concussion protocol

    Maye has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and no longer carries an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans.

    As a result, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft -- who had been listed as questionable after sustaining a concussion last weekend against the Jets -- is line to make his fourth straight start for the Patriots on Sunday, per Evan Lazar of the team's official site. With Maye under center, New England's passing game has been able to pick up the pace, but the rookie out of North Carolina profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option while facing the Titans, who head into Week 9 action allowing a league-low 151.6 passing yards per game.

  • Jordan Love QB | GB

    Packers' Jordan Love: Expected to play Sunday

    Love (groin) remains listed as questionable but is expected to start Sunday's game against the Lions, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Love, who logged limited practices Thursday and Friday, didn't encounter any setbacks or surprises during the week, which puts him on track to face Detroit, per Pelissero. Official confirmation of the quarterback's Week 9 status will arrive when the Packers post their inactive list approximately 90 minutes ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Cleared to face Broncos

    Jackson (back/knee) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos after logging a full practice Friday.

    Jackson was listed as a non-participant both Wednesday and Thursday, but the star QB is good to go for Sunday's game after working fully Friday and looking good in doing so, as coach John Harbaugh told Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, Jackson noted Friday that his status for the contest was never in doubt and that his missed practices were simply a case of resting his body ahead of Week 9 action.

  • Jayden Daniels QB | WAS

    Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Good to go

    Daniels (ribs) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at the Giants, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

    Daniels played through the same injury last week without any reported complications, and he's now closed out Week 9 prep with his first full practice since hurting his ribs Week 7. He shouldn't have any limitations this Sunday and remains one of the top fantasy options at his position, combining efficient passing with frequent, effective running.

  • Drake Maye QB | NE

    Patriots' Drake Maye: Questionable for Sunday

    Maye (concussion) officially is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Tennessee.

    Maye was able to handle limited work in all three practices during Week 9 prep, giving him a chance to miss no time as a result of the concussion he sustained this past Sunday against the Jets. Having said that, he'll still need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to suit up this weekend. At the latest, Maye's status will be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Jacoby Brissett is on hand to start if Maye doesn't pass through the protocol for head injuries.

  • Jordan Love QB | GB

    Packers' Jordan Love: Listed as questionable

    Love (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    As promised earlier by coach Matt LaFleur, who otherwise declined to give hints about whether or not Love will play. Malik Willis will fill in as the starting QB if Love ends up inactive ahead of the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff despite managing limited practice participation Thursday and Friday.

  • Jordan Love QB | GB

    Packers' Jordan Love: Has chance to play Sunday

    Coach Matt LaFleur said Love (groin) was limited at Friday's practice and will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Lions, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    In the wake of exiting early from a Week 8 win at Jacksonville, Love was diagnosed with a strained groin and deemed day-to-day. He proceeded to sit out Wednesday's practice before logging back-to-back capped sessions to wrap up Week 9 prep. The Packers are giving him a chance to be available this weekend, as LaFleur wouldn't definitively say one way or another whether Love will be able to suit up Sunday, per Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Malik Willis would get the start if Love isn't able to go.

  • Derek Carr QB | NO

    Saints' Derek Carr: Cleared for Week 9

    Carr (oblique) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Carolina, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Carr never quite progressed to full practice participation but nonetheless has been cleared to return from a three-game absence. He'll take over a somewhat depleted offense, with WR Rashid Shaheed (knee) out for the season, WR Bub Means (ankle) out for Week 9 and Cedrick Wilson (hip) listed as questionable, not to mention the Saints' continued O-line issues.

  • Will Levis QB | TEN

    Titans' Will Levis: Questionable for Week 9

    Coach Brian Callahan said Friday that Levis (shoulder) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Titans insider Paul Kuharsky reports.

    Callahan added that while the decision is ultimately in his hands, he will rely on Levis' input regarding the health of the second-year quarterback's shoulder before deciding on a starter for Sunday's game against the Patriots. If Levis misses a third consecutive game, Mason Rudolph would continue to start for Tennessee.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Coach says he's playing Week 9

    Coach John Harbaugh said Friday that Jackson (back/knee) will play Sunday against the Broncos, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Jackson missed practice Wednesday and Thursday but returned to practice Friday. While Baltimore has yet to unveil its injury designations for Sunday's game, both the reigning NFL MVP and his coach were confident regarding Jackson's availability. Earlier Friday, Jackson said his availability was never in doubt and that he was simply resting his body with a couple days off from practice Wednesday and Thursday, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com.
