  • Justin Herbert QB | LAC

    Chargers' Justin Herbert: Questionable for Week 3

    Herbert (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh.

    Herbert told Kris Rhim of ESPN.com on Friday that the injury he sustained during the Chargers' Week 2 win in Carolina is a high right-ankle sprain, which didn't allow him to practice until Thursday. During that session, he was spotted with a heavy tape job on his right ankle, per Rhim. Herbert also relayed Friday that it's "yet to be decided" whether he'll be able to play Sunday, so if the quarterback ultimately can't go, Easton Stick would get the call under center for Los Angeles.

  • Jordan Love QB | GB

    Packers' Jordan Love: Possible game-time call

    Love (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Tennessee, with Packers coach Matt LaFleur suggesting Friday that the QB may be a game-time decision, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

    Love hasn't been medically cleared but apparently still could be before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. He was a limited practice participant Friday, which was the same as the two previous days, after being held out entirely last week ahead of an absence for the eventual win over Indianapolis. Malik Willis will make another start at QB if Love is out again Week 3.

    Chargers' Justin Herbert: Has high ankle sprain

    Herbert (ankle) said Friday that it's "yet to be decided" if he'll play Sunday at Pittsburgh, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports. Additionally, Herbert relayed that he's dealing with a high right-ankle sprain.

    Herbert played all 69 offensive snaps during the Chargers' Week 2 win at Carolina, but afterward he underwent X-rays on his right leg, which were returned negative. He eventually was diagnosed with a generic ankle injury and didn't return to practice until Thursday, when he was limited. During that session, Herbert's right ankle was heavily taped, per Rhim, and now that the nature of the issue has been confirmed by the quarterback, it's no surprise he hasn't taken many practice reps this week. The Chargers will reveal a Week 3 game designation later Friday, with Easton Stick on hand to start if Herbert is unable to play.

  • Taysom Hill QB | NO

    Saints' Taysom Hill: Will be questionable vs. Eagles

    Hill (chest) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, per coach Dennis Allen, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Hill was hospitalized due to a chest injury suffered in last week's win over the Cowboys, and while the injury ultimately wasn't deemed too serious, it may nonetheless impact his availability for Sunday's game against the Eagles. Even if Hill gets the green light to suit up, the versatile playmaker may see a diminished role, which will make Hill tough to trust for fantasy purposes.

  • Jordan Love QB | GB

    Packers' Jordan Love: Practicing again

    Love (knee) is practicing Friday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

    Love was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday, after missing last week's win over the Colts. It's unclear if he'll be back this Sunday against the Titans, but he at least seems to be doing better than initial reports suggested after he suffered an MCL sprain in a Week 1 loss to Philadelphia.

  • Patriots' Jacoby Brissett: Remains starting QB

    Speaking to the media Friday, coach Jerod Mayo said Brissett will remain New England's starting quarterback, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.

    After going 12-for-18 passing for 98 scoreless yards and failing to lead a touchdown drive, Brissett was pulled from Thursday night's eventual loss to the Jets late in the fourth quarter with the team down 24-3. First-round rookie Drake Maye played the final 4:24 of the game and went 4-for-8 for 22 yards. After Brissett absorbed five sacks, Maye took another two. Neither quarterback stands much of a chance behind New England's bottom-barrel offensive line that was missing a pair of starters versus New York. Brissett sounds like he'll be under center for Week 4 against San Francisco.

  • Patriots' Jacoby Brissett: Benched late in Week 3 loss

    Brissett completed 12 of 18 passes for 98 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Patriots' 24-3 loss to the Jets on Thursday night. He was replaced by Drake Maye with 4:24 remaining in the game.

    Brissett's final numbers, which also included five sacks taken, tell the tale of how difficult a night it was for the Patriots offense. The veteran signal-caller hasn't averaged more than 5.5 yards per attempt in any of his first three contests, but due to the fact New England's Week 4 matchup on Sunday, Sept. 29 involves a visit to the 49ers, Brissett could get the call over the inexperienced Maye for that daunting assignment.

  • Drake Maye QB | NE

    Patriots' Drake Maye: Makes pro debut in fourth quarter

    Maye replaced Jacoby Brissett with 4:24 remaining in the Patriots' 24-3 loss to the Jets on Thursday night and completed four of eight passes for 22 yards while adding two rushes for 12 yards.

    Maye ended up helming a ragged 16-play, 46-yard drive that encompassed the final 4:24 of the game and culminated with the rookie third overall pick taking a sack at the Jets' 12-yard line. His longest completion came on the final pass he got off, a 15-yard connection with DeMario Douglas. Brissett threw for just 98 yards and averaged 5.4 yards per attempt while taking five sacks, so it remains to be seen if Maye, who was essentially just as ineffective over a more condensed period, will be considered for a daunting Week 4 road start against the 49ers on Sunday, Sept. 29. Per Mike Kadlick of CLNSMedia, that decision is one head coach Jerod Mayo stated in his postgame press conference will be further discussed with his staff.

  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Best game as Jet yet

    Rodgers completed 27 of 35 passes for 281 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Jets' 24-3 win over the Patriots on Thursday night. He also rushed three times for 18 yards.

    Rodgers connected with Allen Lazard and Garrett Wilson for touchdown passes of 10 and two yards, respectively, on his way to his best game as a Jet yet. Rodgers' passing yardage total was his highest since Week 9 of the 2022 season, when he threw for 291 yards against the Lions as a member of the Packers. The four-time NFL MVP recorded completions to eight pass catchers overall, and he appears to clearly be shaking off the last of the rust he accumulated in 2023 as he preps for a Week 4 home matchup against the Broncos on Sunday, Sept. 29.

  • Taysom Hill QB | NO

    Saints' Taysom Hill: Returns as limited Thursday

    HIll (chest) was a limited practice participant Thursday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

    After Hill sat out Wednesday's session, coach Dennis Allen relayed hope that the tight end would return as limited one day later. Indeed, that has come to pass, but Hill still has some work to do as a result of the chest injury that forced him from this past Sunday's victory at Dallas and also resulted in a visit to a local hospital. Hill will have one more opportunity to practice this week before the Saints potentially give him a designation ahead of Sunday's contest versus the Eagles.
