Daniels (ribs) is listed as active Sunday versus the Bears.

One week removed from lasting just one possession due to a rib injury, Daniels will suit up after being capped to just one limited session (Friday) during Week 8 prep. He'll thus continue to start under center as he and the Commanders take on fellow rookie quarterback Caleb Williams.

Carr (oblique) is inactive for Sunday's game at the Chargers, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

Carr has been tending to an oblique injury since a Week 5 loss at Kansas City, resulting in three straight absences. He hasn't practiced in the meantime, so his activity level in the coming days may be key for his odds to return to action next Sunday in Carolina. Spencer Rattler will continue to start under center for the Saints in Week 8.

Maye was diagnosed with a concussion after exiting in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Jets and has been ruled out for the remainder of the contest.

Maye appeared to suffer the head injury when he took a helmet-to-helmet hit during a scramble on the Patriots' third possession. Though he stayed in the game for the remainder of the drive, he gave way to backup Jacoby Brissett on the Patriots' next possession while he headed to the locker room for a concussion test. Brissett will now direct the New England offense for the rest of the day, while Joe Milton -- who is inactive as the emergency third quarterback -- will be the next man up for reps if Brissett is forced to leave the game early. Maye completed three of six pass attempts for 23 yards and carried three times for 46 yards and a touchdown prior to his departure.

Maye exited Sunday's game against the Jets in the second quarter due to a head injury.

Per Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald, Maye took a hit to the back of his helmet during a scramble on the Patriots' third drive of the game, and now the quarterback is questionable to return to action Sunday. Jacoby Brissett has entered the game in place of Maye, who completed three of six passes for 23 yards while adding 46 yards and a touchdown on three carries prior to exiting the contest.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Daniels (ribs) remains listed as questionable but is slated to start Sunday against the Bears, barring a last-minute setback, Tracy Wolfson of CBS Sports reports.

Daniels is still planning on going through a pregame workout before the Commanders officially clear him to play when the team releases its inactive list approximately 90 minutes before the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Due to the rib cartilage injury he sustained early in last week's win over the Panthers, Daniels didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but he returned to the field as a limited participant Friday. Quinn told Wolfson that Daniels looked good during that session, and with Ian Rapoport of NFL Network noting that Daniels attended every walk-through session this week, the full playbook should be available for the rookie quarterback Sunday.

Daniels (ribs) remains listed as questionable but will meet with team officials roughly around 12:45 p.m. ET before the Commanders confirm definitively whether or not he'll play Sunday against the Bears, Jay Glazer reported on "Fox NFL Sunday."

All reports in the past 24 hours regarding Daniels have been positive in the run-up to the Commanders' 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Assuming team officials are comfortable with Daniels' health coming out of his upcoming meeting, he should get the Week 8 starting nod over Marcus Mariota.

Zappe (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as Cleveland's emergency third quarterback.

Zappe won't count against the gameday roster maximum, but he can enter the game if Jameis Winston and Dorian Thompson-Robinson are injured during the contest.

Rudolph will start for the Titans on Sunday against the Lions with Will Levis (shoulder) inactive.

Rudolph drew his first start with the Titans in Week 7 in a tough matchup against the Bills. He took to the air 40 times but averaged only 5.4 yards per attempt, a mark he will look to improve upon in a more favorable matchup. However, after the departure of DeAndre Hopkins, the Titans' wide receiver corps is among the worst in the league, which won't help Rudolph's cause.

Levis (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Levis logged limited practice sessions all week and was officially listed as questionable entering Sunday's game. However, the Titans tipped their hand when they elevated Trevor Siemian to the active roster from the practice squad Saturday, and Levis is now set to miss his second straight game. Mason Rudolph will draw another start for the Titans and will face a Lions secondary that has been vulnerable at times this season.

The Steelers added Fields to the injury report with a hamstring issue and are listing him as questionable for Monday's game against the Giants.

With Fields' Week 8 status now in question, the Steelers may have to turn to Kyle Allen to serve as Russell Wilson's backup Monday. According to Jay Glazer of Fox Sports, the Steelers had planned to have some packages available for Fields, but after Fields tweaked his hamstring in practice, that plan will likely be scrapped even if he's ultimately active as Wilson's backup Monday.
