Love (head) is questionable to return to Saturday's Week 16 battle against the Bears.

Love was hurt midway through the second quarter after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit that drew a roughing-the-passer penalty. He spent some time being assessed on the field before heading to the medical tent and then to the locker room. If he's unable to return to action Saturday, Malik Willis would guide Green Bay's offense the rest of the way.

Love (head) went to the locker room after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit in the second quarter of Saturday's Week 16 matchup against Chicago, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Love took a helmet-to-hit from the Bears' Austin Booker that drew a roughing-the-passer penalty. After initially being tended to on the field, Love was able to jog off and head to the medical tent, and he subsequently went to the locker room (presumably for further evaluation). Malik Willis has entered the game to take over at quarterback for the Packers.

Hurts completed 22 of 30 passes for 185 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions in Saturday's 29-18 win over the Eagles. He added seven rushes for 40 yards.

Hurts had an accurate game as a passer, but he worked primarily in short and intermediate areas of the field. Nevertheless, he managed a 24-yard completion to A.J. Brown and also tallied touchdown passes from five and 15 yards away. Hurts also showed some aggression on the ground, logging his highest rushing total since Week 4. He'll draw a tough Week 17 matchup against the Bills, though he has gotten back on track in recent weeks by tallying multiple scores in four of his last five matchups.

Johnson completed five of nine passes for 43 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Saturday's 29-18 loss to the Eagles. He also had one rush for zero yards.

Johnson has served as the Commanders' emergency quarterback for much of the season, but he was the backup to Marcus Mariota (hand) for this contest due to Jayden Daniels (elbow) being sidelined. Mariota exited the game for a concussion check and hand injury early in the third quarter, with Johnson stepping in. He was able to move Washington down the field for a touchdown during garbage time late in the fourth quarter, but it would be a significant downgrade for all of the team's skill-position players if Johnson is the starter for Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

Mariota is questionable to return to Saturday's matchup against Philadelphia due to a right hand injury.

Mariota was also evaluated for a concussion but was cleared to continue playing. However, he may not do so if the right hand injury he's dealing with proves to be serious. Should Mariota be unable to return to action, Josh Johnson will step in to direct the Commanders' offense.

Rourke (knee) is ruled out for Monday's game against the Colts, Briana Jeannel of the team's official site reports.

Rourke will remain on the reserve/non-football injury list for at least one more week. The rookie seventh-round pick has managed to practice in full since having his 21-day practice window opened Dec. 8, but he's nonetheless not ready to join the 53-man roster.

The Broncos have elevated Ehlinger from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Ehlinger was also elevated for Week 15, in which he didn't handle a single offensive snap while operating as a reserve option at quarterback behind Bo Nix and Jarrett Stidham. He stands to operate in a similar capacity versus Jacksonville. Ehlinger will revert to Denver's practice squad after Sunday's contest.

Howell (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Eagles' emergency third quarterback for Saturday's game against the Commanders.

Howell continues to operate as Philadelphia's emergency No. 3 quarterback. He'll only be eligible to take the field Saturday in the event that both Jalen Hurts and Tanner McKee are forced out of the game.

Head coach Shane Steichen said Saturday that Richardson (orbital) will not be available for Monday's game against the 49ers, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports.

The Colts designated Richardson to return from injured reserve Thursday, but he won't be activated from IR ahead of Monday's game after being a limited practice participant during Week 16 prep. His next opportunity to return is Week 17 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Dec. 28, but even if he does return, he'll likely serve as the Colts' backup quarterback to Philip Rivers.

Head coach Pete Carroll confirmed Friday that Smith will start Sunday's game against the Texans, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Smith missed the Raiders' Week 15 shutout loss to the Eagles due to shoulder and back injuries, but he has been a full participant throughout Week 16 prep and will reclaim the starting role under center Sunday against Houston's elite defense. His return pushes Kenny Pickett back down to the bench.
