Coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Love (knee) will not be placed on injured reserve, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

LaFleur also declined to fully rule Love out to play Week 2 versus Indianapolis, though considering the 3-to-6-week recovery timetable that Tom Pelissero of NFL Network offered for the starting quarterback's MCL sprain, it would be a true surprise if he didn't miss any time. Per LaFleur, Malik Willis will start Sunday against Tennessee if Love can't go. Placing Love on IR would rule him out for the next four games while opening up a roster spot, so Green Bay's decision not to do so is an indication that Love is expected to be back sooner rather than later. However, LaFleur said the team will take a cautious approach to Love's recovery rather than "put him in position to mortgage the short term for the future."

Coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Willis will start Sunday's game against the Colts over Sean Clifford if Jordan Love (knee) isn't cleared to play, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

LaFleur didn't officially rule Love out for Week 2, but he said Willis will start until the franchise QB is ready to return. Reports have linked Love to a 3-to-6-week recovery timeline due to an MCL sprain, so though LaFleur is still leaving the door open for Love to play Sunday and said he won't go on IR, per Bill Huber of SI.com, it seems likely that Willis will start versus Indianapolis. Willis joined the Packers via trade from the Titans in the last week of August, so the 2022 third-round pick presumably isn't yet fully acclimated to his new offensive scheme. That could result in Green Bay deploying a run-heavy attack headlined by Josh Jacobs on Sunday.

Coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Allen (hand) has been cleared to practice and suit up for Thursday's game against the Dolphins, Ryan O'Halloran of The Buffalo News reports.

Allen injured his left, non-throwing hand while making a leaping rushing touchdown during Sunday's win over the Cardinals, but the issue won't impact his ability to get on the field Week 2. The star quarterback got off to a slow start Week 1 against Arizona, even losing a fumble on Buffalo's first drive, but he ended the day with two touchdown passes to Mack Hollins and Khalil Shakir, in addition to two rushing scores of his own. Allen will look to remain sharp while adjusting to his new group of skill-position players during Thursday's road divisional matchup.

Jackson did not participate in Monday's practice, and coach John Harbaugh declined to state a reason for the star quarterback's absence, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Harbaugh joked that the "injury report comes out Wednesday afternoon," so it sounds like an official update on Jackson's status won't arrive until then. Jackson didn't appear to sustain any injuries during last Thursday's season-opening loss to the Chiefs, meaning his absence from practice Monday may have been personal. Barring any further updates, it seems like the expectation should be that Jackson will be in attendance at Wednesday's practice.

Coach Brian Daboll said Monday that Jones remains the Giants' starting quarterback heading into a Week 2 matchup on the road against Washington, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.

Daboll also said that New York won't be discussing any additions to the quarterback room or any changes to the distribution of practice reps, per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. Jones was dreadful in Sunday's season-opening loss to Minnesota in which he completed 22 of 42 passes for 186 yards, with zero touchdowns and two interceptions (one pick-six). The sixth-year QB will work to bounce back Week 2 in a favorable matchup against the Commanders, but if Jones is unable to spark the offense again his grip on the starting gig may not hold firm much longer.

Allen (hand) said after Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals that his left hand felt fine, but he's still scheduled to undergo further testing, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.

Allen landed hard on his non-throwing hand during the fourth quarter of Sunday's narrow win over Arizona. Though the star quarterback downplayed the issue, it will be closely monitored with Buffalo scheduled for only a few days rest prior to taking on the Dolphins on Thursday Night Football in Week 2. The Bills will release an official injury report Monday, and the team also should announce the results of Allen's medical tests soon. Mitchell Trubisky is healthy and ready to step in if necessary, but at this stage it doesn't seem as though Allen will be forced to miss the AFC East divisional clash against Miami.

Minshew completed 25 of 33 passes for 257 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Chargers.

Minshew had a decent statistical performance and effectively spread the ball between several pass catchers. His touchdown came late in the first quarter on a dumpoff to Alexander Mattison, though he managed only 100 yards on 18 attempts in the second half to stall the Raiders' offense. Minshew also had a key mistake late in the second quarter when he fumbled on an attempted pass that led directly to three points for the Chargers. Overall, Minshew has shown the ability to help skill-position players in his offense produce, though his own numbers are more likely to remain pedestrian.

Levis completed 19 of 32 passes for 127 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Bears. He added four rushes for 36 yards.

The Titans started quickly, limiting what Levis was asked to do in the first half as he attempted only 15 passes. He did manage his lone touchdown of the day late in the second quarter, a 17-yard connection with Chigoziem Okonkwo. The Bears made a run in the second half, which in turn forced Levis to the air more often and led to mistakes. The worst came midway through the fourth quarter when Levis attempted to escape pressure and desperately flung the ball toward the sidelines and into the waiting arms of Tyrique Stevenson for what turned out to be the game-winning touchdown. It wasn't the start to the season that Levis was looking for, as he averaged only 4.0 yards per attempt and completed just two passes for more than 20 yards.

Fields completed 17 of 23 passes for 156 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 18-10 win over the Falcons. He added 14 rushes for 57 yards.

Fields drew the start and made his Steelers debut with Russell Wilson (calf) sidelined. The team was very run-heavy, particularly in the second half as Fields took to the air only 10 times in the final two quarters. While it was clear that Pittsburgh was running a conservative offensive gameplan, Fields did show the ability to connect with George Pickens for explosive plays, as the duo hooked up for big gains of 40 and 33 yards. He also utilized his legs effectively, despite his longest rush going for only 12 yards. Pittsburgh's plans under center are once again murky, though Wilson's first step toward regaining the role will have to be increasing his practice activity.

Hill recorded five carries for 35 yards and caught one of his two targets for one yard during Sunday's 47-10 win versus the Panthers.

Hill worked as the Saints' secondary rushing option to start the game, logging a two-yard carry on their second play from scrimmage. The 34-year-old finished with four carries and one target in the first quarter, and his playing time dwindled as the game got out of hand down the stretch. Backup running back Jamaal Williams logged more carries (11), but most of his touches came later in the second half when the game was essentially decided. Hill's early usage in the rushing game Sunday is a likely indicator of what his role could be under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak this season. It will be worth monitoring if/how his deployment changes when New Orleans faces what should be a much tougher road matchup versus Dallas on Sunday, Sept. 15.
