Hurts completed 20 of 34 pass attempts for 278 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions while rushing 13 times for 33 yards with a lost fumble in Friday's win over the Packers in Brazil.

It was a sloppy start for Hurts on a slick playing field overseas after committing two of his three turnovers on Philadelphia's first two drives. The 25-year-old settled in following the pick and ensuing lost fumble, rattling off four straight scoring drives for the split crowd in Sau Paolo, Brazil. Hurts did not see any action this preseason, so a sloppy game in a foreign land can be looked past for one of the top QBs in fantasy, especially after willing his team to a narrow victory to start the regular season. The Eagles will return home to face the Falcons on Monday, Sept. 16.

Love exited late in the fourth quarter of Friday's 34-29 loss to the Eagles due to a lower left leg injury. "I don't know," Packers head coach LaFleur said, when asked twice about the severity of Love's injury after the game, ESPN.com reports.

The Packers seemingly aren't planning on offering any clarity on Love's injury until he undergoes further testing. Malik Willis played the final two snaps of Friday's loss and would likely be in line to take over as the team's starter if Love isn't available for the Packers' Week 2 contest next Sunday versus the Colts. Before exiting the contest in the game's final minute when he required assistance to the sideline after he appeared to twist his left leg when he was hit by two defenders on a lateral, Love completed 17 of 34 pass attempts for 260 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.

Love suffered an apparent left leg injury in Friday's matchup against the Eagles, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Love took a hit to the lower leg and had to exit the game prior to the final two plays of Friday's game in Brazil. There is no word on the severity of the injury as of this time.

Mariota (chest) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Washington's new No. 2 quarterback won't be suiting up for the team's regular-season opener after logging DNPs during practice both Thursday and Friday. With Mariota sidelined, expect Jeff Driskel to back up rookie Jayden Daniels in Week 1.

With Russell Wilson dealing with a calf injury, Fields relayed that he took first-team reps during team periods in Friday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN reports.

Wilson, who had previously been named the Steelers' starting quarterback, was very limited during Friday's session, per Pryor and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's season opener against the Falcons. While Wilson has expressed a degree of optimism regarding his Week 1 status, if he ends up not being ready to face Atlanta, Fields would be in line to start in his place.

Wilson (calf), who was limited in practice Friday, is listed as questionable for Sunday's season opener against the Falcons, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Wilson was also limited one day earlier after experiencing calf tightness at practice. "I just felt a little tight (on Thursday)," Wilson noted Friday. "I wanted to be smart about it. Obviously, we play the game on Sunday, I'm hoping I get to be in it. Just trying to try and get ready to go." At this stage, it looks as though Wilson's Week 1 status could emerge as a game-day call, though there should be added context on that front prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If he's unavailable for the contest, Justin Fields would draw the start at QB versus Atlanta.

Lock (abdomen) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's Week 1 game against the Vikings, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Lock has been dealing with this abdomen issue for about a month, but it appears the injury won't stop him from suiting up for the Giants' regular-season opener Sunday. In his first campaign with New York, the 2019 second-round pick is expected to serve as the Giants' backup quarterback behind Daniel Jones.

Wilson (calf) hopes to play Sunday against the Falcons, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Wilson, who aggravated a previous calf injury Thursday, says that he's taking it day-by-day ahead of the contest. When asked if he expected to start Sunday, Wilson told Pryor, "I'm trying to get my body ready to go and rock and roll. Just doing everything we can." If the QB -- who the Steelers figure to list as questionable -- is unavailable this weekend, Justin Fields would be in line to start in his place versus Atlanta.

Wilson (calf) is present at practice Friday, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

Wilson's practice participation level will be clarified later Friday, along with a possible injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, but it's a good sign that he's taking the practice field Friday after being limited by calf tightness Thursday. Barring a setback, Wilson's poised to make his Steelers debut Sunday, relegating Justin Fields to a backup role.

Mahomes completed 20 of 28 passes for 291 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Chiefs' 27-20 win over the Ravens on Thursday night. He also rushed twice for three yards and was credited with a two-yard reception of his own deflected pass.

Mahomes put together a signature performance that saw him distribute the ball to seven different targets. The perennial Pro Bowler clicked most frequently with top wideout Rashee Rice, who brought in seven of Mahomes' completions for 103 yards. Mahomes' one scoring toss went to speedy first-round pick Xavier Worthy, who brought in a 35-yard dart early in the fourth quarter that gave Kansas City some valuable breathing room. Mahomes' impressive yardage total and efficiency notably came with Travis Kelce recording only three receptions and Marquise Brown missing the game with his shoulder injury, supporting the notion the two-time MVP could be in store for another prolific season. Mahomes' and the Chiefs' next assignment is a marquee Week 2 home showdown against the Bengals on Sunday, Sept. 15.
