Thompson (ribs) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel declined Wednesday to state whether Thompson will act as the team's backup quarterback for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, but he noted that Tyler Huntley (shoulder) is expected to miss Week 8. With Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) practicing on a limited basis and potentially in line to start Sunday, Thompson, Tim Boyle and practice-squad member C.J. Beathard could all be candidates for the No. 2 gig.

Huntley (right shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

When asked about Huntley's availability as Sunday's game against the Cardinals approaches, head coach Mike McDaniel noted, "I don't think (Huntley) is going to be available this week." While Huntley's Week 8 status is cloudy, Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) returned to a limited practice Wednesday and is trending toward a return to the starting lineup this weekend. If that happens and Huntley is unavailable, Miami's backup options versus Arizona would be Skylar Thompson, Tim Boyle and C.J. Beathard.

Rattler (hip) practiced fully Wednesday.

Almost a week removed from sustaining a hip pointer last Thursday against the Broncos, Rattler was able to handle a full allotment of practice reps to begin Week 8 prep. His full workout comes on the heels of head coach Dennis Allen stating that Rattler likely will start Sunday's game at the Chargers, with Derek Carr still in recovery mode from an oblique injury, per Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune. Rattler thus should get the nod over fellow quarterback Jake Haener, after the former completed 47 of 75 passes for 415 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions, recorded nine carries for 61 yards and fumbled three times (two lost) in his first two career starts.

The Dolphins signed Beathard to the practice squad Wednesday.

Beathard was released by the Jaguars at the end of training camp with an injury settlement due to a groin injury he picked up in preseason action. He wasn't able to catch on with the Giants following a workout in late September, but the 2017 third-round pick will return to Florida and serve as the Dolphins' practice squad quarterback. Tyler Huntley (shoulder) and Skylar Thompson (ribs) are nursing injuries while Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday. Tim Boyle is the only healthy quarterback on the Dolphins' active roster, meaning Beathard could be elevated from the practice squad to serve as the backup or emergency quarterback against the Cardinals on Sunday.

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

Levis was inactive for this past Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Bills, and at this stage the quarterback is trending toward giving way to Mason Rudolph once again this weekend on the road versus the Lions. With that in mind, head coach Brian Callahan said Wednesday that the Titans will "probably give (Levis) one more week," though Levis hasn't officially been ruled out for Sunday's contest in Detroit.

Tagovailoa (concussion) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

The Dolphins designated Tagovailoa for return from injured reserve earlier Wednesday and reportedly expect him to clear concussion protocol before Sunday's game against Arizona. He'll likely upgrade to full participation Thursday or Friday, and Furones notes that Tagovailoa looked sharp during Wednesday's practice, his first since he suffered his fourth documented concussion in five years in the Dolphins' Sept. 12 loss to the Bills.

Thompson-Robinson (finger) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Thompson-Robinson looks likely to be available for Sunday's game against the Ravens, though Jameis Winston has already been named the Week 8 starter due to concerns about how Thompson-Robinson's finger injury might affect his throwing. With the Browns heading into Sunday's contest with a 1-6 record and with Deshaun Watson (Achilles) out for the season, it may be just a matter of time until the Browns turn to Thompson-Robinson under center to see just to get an extended evaluation on the 2023 fifth-round draft pick.

Head coach Dennis Allen said Wednesday that Rattler (hip) likely will be the Saints' starting quarterback Sunday at the Chargers, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Derek Carr, who has been sidelined the last two games due to an oblique injury, took part in throwing sessions Monday and Tuesday, which seemingly were helpful in determining where he stood in his recovery. As of Wednesday, Allen doesn't believe Carr will be ready for Week 8 action, setting Rattler up for a third start in a row. Rattler emerged from last Thursday's to the Broncos with a hip pointer, but the issue won't stop him from being available this weekend. In his first two career starts, the rookie fifth-round pick out of South Carolina has completed 47 of 75 passes for 415 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions, rushed nine times for 61 yards and fumbled three times (two lost).

Head coach Dennis Allen said Wednesday that Carr (oblique) is unlikely to be available Sunday at the Chargers, with Spencer Rattler (hip) expected to make a third straight start at quarterback, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Carr has missed the last two games due to an oblique injury, but he was able to take part in throwing sessions Monday and Tuesday, which were intended to determine where he stood in his recovery. He appears to have not made enough progress, leaving Rattler and Jake Haener as the options under center Week 8. Rattler is dealing with a hip issue at the moment, but he looks like he'll be able to play through that injury this weekend.

Head coach Dave Canales announced Wednesday that Young will start Sunday's game in Denver over Andy Dalton (thumb), Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Young will get a chance at redemption after being benched in favor of Dalton in Week 3. The second-year quarterback failed to throw a touchdown pass in two games prior to his benching, but with Dalton coming off a dreadful showing in this past Sunday's 40-7 loss to the Commanders, Young has a chance to reclaim the starting role moving forward if he shows improvement against the Broncos. Dalton doesn't have a firm return timetable after spraining his thumb in a car accident Tuesday.
