Jordan Love QB | GB
Packers' Jordan Love: Listed as questionable
Love (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Love was a limited participant in each practice this week and now heads into the weekend looking truly questionable ahead of a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. He also was listed as questionable the past two games, but for Week 2 he was downgraded to doubtful and for Week 3 there were early reports suggesting he wouldn't play. This time around, it looks like closer to 50/50, with the Packers perhaps inclined to be less cautious than usual on account of the divisional matchup against an undefeated rival. QB Malik Willis will make his third straight start if Love doesn't end up playing.

Russell Wilson QB | NYG
Steelers' Russell Wilson: Questionable for Sunday
Wilson (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Wilson, who remained limited at practice this week, has been inactive as the Steelers' emergency No. 3 quarterback for the team's first three games this season. It remains to be seen if that will be the case again this weekend, but either way Justin Fields is on track to make his fourth consecutive start at QB for the 3-0 Steelers, per Dale Lolley of the team's official site.

Jordan Love QB | GB
Packers' Jordan Love: Stays limited Friday
Coach Matt LaFleur said Love (knee) was limited at Friday's practice, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.
LaFleur also was non-committal about Love's potential to play Sunday against the Vikings. Once the Packers post their final Week 4 injury report later Friday, Love likely will be listed as questionable, as he was last week. If Love is unable to suit up this weekend, Malik Willis again will be under center for Green Bay.

Daniel Jones QB | IND
Giants' Daniel Jones: Strong numbers in loss
Jones completed 29 of 40 passes for 281 yards with no touchdowns and one interception and rushed four times for three yards in the Giants' 20-15 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday night.
Jones' passing yardage tally was a season high and certainly served his fantasy managers well, but it was a hollow number from a real-life sense to an extent. The embattled signal-caller focused very heavily on both rookie sensation Malik Nabers (concussion) and Wan'Dale Robinson, with 23 of his completions and 186 of his yards going to the talented duo. Nabers' absence late certainly didn't help Jones on the Giants' last-gasp drive, which culminated in an interception at the Cowboys' four-yard line following two incompletions to open the possession. Jones should have a chance of having Nabers back in the fold for a Week 5 road matchup against the Seahawks on Sunday, Oct. 6.

Dak Prescott QB | DAL
Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Two TD passes in win
Prescott completed 22 of 27 passes for 221 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding two carries for minus-1 yard in the Cowboys' 20-15 win over the Giants on Thursday night.
It wasn't the prettiest of wins for the Cowboys, but Prescott was able to play a clean, highly efficient game while taking only one sack. The veteran signal-caller connected with seven different targets, hitting the duo of CeeDee Lamb and Jake Ferguson for seven catches apiece to lead the way. Prescott linked up with Rico Dowdle and Lamb for touchdown passes of 15 and 55 yards, respectively, in the first half, generating his second two-TD tally through the air in the last five days. Prescott and his teammates next gear up for a challenging road interconference clash with the Steelers on Sunday, Oct. 6.

Tommy DeVito QB | NE
Giants' Tommy DeVito: Emergency QB vs. Dallas
DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive but serving as the Giants' emergency quarterback for Thursday's game against the Cowboys, 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.

Trey Lance QB | LAC
Cowboys' Trey Lance: Emergency QB vs. Giants
Lance (coach's decision) is inactive but available as the emergency third quarterback for Thursday's game against the Giants, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Lance will be the Cowboys' emergency quarterback for a fourth consecutive game. Lance will only be able to play if both Dak Prescott and Cooper Rush sustain injuries that force them to leave the game.

Justin Herbert QB | LAC
Chargers' Justin Herbert: Still limited at practice
Herbert (ankle) remained limited at practice Thursday.
Herbert, who was also listed as limited Wednesday, previously noted that he is "doing everything he can" to play Sunday against the Chiefs despite having aggravated his high right ankle sprain during Week 3 action, per Kris Rhim of ESPN. With the Chargers on bye in Week 5, Herbert acknowledged Wednesday that the team has had discussions about him possibly sitting out Sunday in order to rest his ankle, but the QB noted he doesn't "think that's the way we're heading." Friday's injury report will add further context regarding Herbert's Week 4 status, but chances are, he'll head into the weekend listed as questionable. Taylor Heinicke would presumably start versus Kansas City in the event Herbert ends up being deemed unavailable for Los Angeles' 4:25 ET contest.

Jordan Love QB | GB
Packers' Jordan Love: Remains limited in practice
Love (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. "We'll see," head coach Matt LaFleur said, when asked about Love's status for Sunday's game against the Vikings. "We'll give him up to game time."
Love continues to work his way back from the Grade 1-to-2 MCL sprain he sustained in the Sept. 6 loss to the Eagles, and he looks to have a chance at meeting the short end of his projected 3-to-6-week recovery timeline. He's now been listed as a limited participant in six consecutive practices, and while the Packers haven't indicated that Love has experienced any setbacks with his left knee, he may need to turn in a full practice Friday to avoid being viewed as anything more than a game-time call leading up to Sunday. Malik Willis has presided over the Green Bay offense for the last two games and will stay prepared for another start under center this weekend if the Packers' franchise signal-caller isn't cleared to return to the lineup.

Skylar Thompson QB | BAL
Dolphins' Skylar Thompson: Looks set for limited practice
Thompson (ribs) will practice in at least a limited capacity Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said he hasn't yet named a starting quarterback for Monday's game against the Titans, and that the rib injury that forced Thompson out of the team's Week 3 loss to the Seahawks could still limit his effectiveness. McDaniel said he's also encouraged by the progress Tyler Huntley has made picking up the offense so far, per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com, and that both he and Tim Boyle will get opportunities in practice to try and command the offense. It sounds like a final decision on the Dolphins' starter for Week 4 won't arrive until the team has a had a chance to monitor all options at the position in practice.
