DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Seahawks, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

As the emergency quarterback, DeVito will only see playing time Thursday if both Daniel Jones and Drew Lock were to sustain injuries that would force them off the field.

Dobbs (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Once again, Dobbs will serve as the 49ers' emergency quarterback. He's technically inactive but will suit up and can play if Brock Purdy and Brandon Allen are both injured during Sunday's game.

Darnold completed 14 of 31 passes for 179 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Jets. He also rushed five times for 11 yards and lost a fumble.

Darnold experienced significant struggles for the first time this season, as he combined to complete only nine of his 22 passes to Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. There were several potential explanations for the down performance, as the Jets are a tough defensive matchup and Darnold also suffered an apparent chest injury midway through the first quarter that caused him to miss one play. In addition, the Vikings jumped ahead early, causing the offense to limit its aggressiveness for much of the game. Darnold will have a chance to rest from any lingering soreness as Minnesota will head into a Week 6 bye.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
