  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Dealing with ankle issue

    Rodgers said after Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings in London that he's dealing with a low-ankle sprain, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Rodgers was noticeably hobbled late in the game due to the injury, but he didn't miss any snaps and completed 29 of 54 pass attempts for 244 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in the loss. His status will still warrant monitoring ahead of the Jets' Oct. 14 game against the Bills in Week 6.

    Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Three picks in loss

    Rodgers completed 29 of 54 passes for 254 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings.

    The Jets fell behind 17-0 late in the second quarter, leading Rodgers to attempt a season-high 54 pass attempts. He put up decent stats based on that volume, but he was inefficient by posting 4.7 yards per attempt while still looking out of sync with many of his targets. Rodgers also threw three interceptions --including a game-sealing pick on a potential game-winning drive late in the fourth quarter -- in a game for only the sixth time in his career, four which transpired in 2017 or earlier. Positively, Rodgers has multiple touchdowns in three of his last four games and has reached 225 passing yards in each of his last three contests.

  • Colts' Anthony Richardson: Out Week 5, injury not long term

    Richardson is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, but his oblique strain isn't considered a long-term concern, and the Colts are hopeful that he can return for the team's Week 6 game against the Titans, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports.

    Joe Flacco will get the start Week 5 after he came on in relief of Richardson in last Sunday's win over the Steelers when the latter went down with his oblique strain. Richardson was a limited participant in practice throughout Week 5, so if he's able to resume practicing in full at some point next week, he should be cleared to reclaim the starting role next Sunday at Tennessee.

  • Joe Flacco QB | CIN

    Colts' Joe Flacco: Draws start with Richardson out

    Flacco will start Sunday's game against the Jaguars with Anthony Richardson (oblique) inactive for the contest, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.

    The starting assignment was fully expected after Flacco took most of the first-team reps during practice this week while Richardson was listed as a limited participant in sessions Wednesday through Friday due to the oblique strain he sustained in last week's 27-24 win over the Steelers. Upon entering the Week 4 game in relief of Richardson on the Colts' second drive, Flacco completed 16 of 26 pass attempts for 168 yards and two touchdowns. With Richardson and top running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) both sitting out Sunday, the Colts could rely more heavily on the Flacco-led passing attack, which could increase the viability of receivers Michael Pittman and Josh Downs as fantasy options in Week 5.

  • Sam Hartman QB | WAS

    Commanders' Sam Hartman: Healthy scratch

    Hartman (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Browns.

    Hartman has been serving as the team's emergency QB to start the season, but with Marcus Mariota's return from injury, the Notre Dame product will be relegated to the team's No. 4 option on the positional depth chart at quarterback.

  • Jeff Driskel QB | WAS

    Commanders' Jeff Driskel: Emergency option

    Driskel (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Browns, but he'll dress as the team's emergency No. 3 quarterback.

    Driskel will dress despite technically being inactive. However, he'll only be able to enter the game if Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota get injured.

  • Dolphins' Skylar Thompson: Inactive Sunday

    Thompson (ribs) is inactive for Sunday's game at New England.

    The Dolphins included Thompson among its inactives for a second consecutive contest, and he'll again be serving as the emergency third quarterback behind starter Tyler Huntley and No. 2 Tim Boyle, per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com. Thompson has been tending to a rib injury for two weeks running, but it remains to be seen if he'll be in consideration to start or even be the team's backup signal-caller once he's healthy while Tua Tagovailoa remains on IR due to a concussion.

  • Marcus Mariota QB | WAS

    Commanders' Marcus Mariota: Serving as backup QB

    Mariota (pectoral) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns.

    Mariota landed on injured reserve just before the season opener due to a chest injury, which was reclassified as a pectoral issue during Week 5 prep after the Commanders designated him for return Wednesday and were required to list him on the practice report. He remained questionable for Sunday even after the team activated him Saturday, but now that he's deemed active, he'll act as the top backup to starting quarterback and rookie sensation Jayden Daniels.

  • Colts' Anthony Richardson: Inactive for Week 5

    Richardson (oblique) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Richardson's absence for Week 5 was expected after he suffered an oblique strain in the Colts' Week 4 win over the Steelers and was subsequently a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday before taking a questionable tag into the weekend and then getting downgraded to doubtful Saturday. With Richardson getting at least one game off to tend to his injury, Joe Flacco will step in as the Colts' starting quarterback while usual No. 3 signal-caller Sam Ehlinger slides into the backup role.

  • Jets' Adrian Martinez: Elevated from practice squad

    The Jets elevated Martinez from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

    Martinez will make the trip to London to serve as the third/emergency quarterback behind Aaron Rodgers and Tyrod Taylor for Sunday's game against the Vikings. Rodgers had been dealing with knee swelling all week, but he doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's contest.
