Daniel Jones QB | IND
Giants' Daniel Jones: Late turnovers seal loss
Jones completed 24 of 38 passes for 264 yards with no touchdowns and one interception and rushed three times for one yard in the Giants' 26-18 loss to the Steelers on Monday night. He also lost a fumble.
Jones' final yardage total was more than adequate and was partly comprised of an impressive 43-yard strike to Darius Slayton in the first half. However, the embattled veteran signal-caller doomed the Giants' comeback attempts on two occasions during the latter portion of the fourth quarter, fumbling at the Steelers' 27-yard line on a sack by T.J. Watt and then overthrowing Devin Singletary at nearly the same spot on the field with 34 seconds remaining, resulting in a game-sealing interception for Pittsburgh. Jones now has gone three straight games without a touchdown pass while also throwing a pair of picks in that span, and a switch to Drew Lock could be afoot ahead of a Week 9 home matchup against the surging Commanders.

Russell Wilson QB | NYG
Steelers' Russell Wilson: Sharp from pocket Monday
Wilson completed 20 of 28 pass attempts for 278 yards and a touchdown while rushing three times for seven yards with a lost fumble in Monday's 26-18 win over the Giants.
Wilson had Pittsburgh's offense clicking out of halftime after several lengthy first half drives resulted in field goals. The 35-year-old is looking like a good fit in Pittsburgh's scheme through two starts with 542 passing yards and four combined touchdowns in two team victories. The 6-2 Steelers now will enter a bye week before resuming play against the Commanders on Sunday, Nov. 10. Wilson should be considered a solid fantasy play Week 10 as he continues to get acclimated to his new offense over the bye.

Trevor Siemian QB | ATL
Trevor Siemian: Reverts to practice squad
Siemian reverted to the Titans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Siemian operated as the backup quarterback behind Mason Rudolph in the team's 52-14 loss to the Lions in Week 8, failing to enter the game. With Will Levis (shoulder) still banged up, Siemian could be elevated again for Sunday's matchup with the Patriots.

Michael Pratt QB | TB
Michael Pratt: Back with practice squad
Pratt reverted to the Buccaneers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Pratt operated as the team's emergency third quarterback behind Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask in the team's 31-26 loss to the Falcons, failing to enter the game. Pratt can be elevated two more times before he'd need to be officially signed to the active roster.

Carter Bradley QB | JAC
Carter Bradley: Back with practice squad
Bradley reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Bradley was active but did not play in the team's 27-20 loss to Kansas City in Week 8. Gardner Minshew and Desmond Ridder operated as the top two options at quarterback in the contest and will likely do so again Sunday in Cincinnati.
-
Jack Plummer QB | CAR
Jack Plummer: Returns to practice squad
Plummer reverted to the Panthers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Plummer was active for the team's 28-14 loss to the Broncos in Week 8, failing to see any action while serving as the backup quarterback to Bryce Young. With Andy Dalton (thumb) banged up, it's possible that Plummer is elevated again for Sunday's matchup with the Saints.

Tommy DeVito QB | NE
Giants' Tommy DeVito: Emergency QB versus Pittsburgh
DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday Night Football against the Steelers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
DeVito will once again operate as the team's emergency third quarterback in Week 8 against the Steelers. He'll only enter the game if Daniel Jones and Drew Lock go down with an injury.

Justin Fields QB | KC
Steelers' Justin Fields: Out Monday, but emergency third QB
Fields (hamstring) is listed as inactive Monday against the Giants and will serve as the Steelers' emergency third quarterback, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Fields was added to Pittsburgh's Week 8 injury report Sunday as questionable due to a hamstring issue. Per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Fields' health concern is a minor one, but the Steelers will exercise caution with him with a Week 9 bye on the docket. Russell Wilson will handle starting duties for a second consecutive contest Monday, while Kyle Allen steps into the backup role.

Steelers' Justin Fields: In line to sit out Monday
Fields (hamstring) is in line to be inactive and serve as the Steelers' emergency third quarterback Monday against the Giants, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Pittsburgh added Fields to its injury report Sunday as questionable for Week 8 action due to a hamstring issue. Garafolo reports that the health concern is a minor one, but the team will exercise caution with Fields with a Week 9 bye on tap. As a result, Russell Wilson will continue to lead the Steelers' offense, while Kyle Allen bumps up to handle backup QB duties.

Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT
Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Estimated as limited Monday
Rodgers (knee/hamstring) was listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Coach Jeff Ulbrich said Monday that Rodgers didn't suffer any setbacks in Sunday's Week 8 loss to the Patriots, so it sounds like he'll be fine for Thursday night's start against the Texans. He's been tending to a multitude of injuries for weeks now.
