Daniels (elbow) is traveling with the Commanders to London ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

As expected, Daniels will make the trip across the pond and participate in practices over the coming days. He has a lot of work ahead of him in order to be cleared to play Sunday as he continues to recover from a dislocated elbow, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Marcus Mariota get the starting nod for a second week in a row. Logging a full practice at least once this week would go a long way in Daniels' efforts to return to the field.

Tampa Bay signed Rypien to its practice squad Tuesday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Rypien has some familiarity with the Buccaneers' offense, as the team's current quarterbacks coach, Zac Robinson, was with the Rams in 2023 during Rypien's stint in Los Angeles. Tampa Bay developed a need for quarterback depth after Baker Mayfield suffered a thumb injury that is expected to sideline him for multiple weeks in Sunday's loss to Minnesota. Undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels is in line to start for the Buccaneers on Sunday against Green Bay, while Easton Stick is likely to serve as his backup.

The Vikings will sign Brosmer off their practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

With the Vikings trading J.J. McCarthy to the Giants on Monday, Brosmer will be awarded a spot on the 53-man roster and slot in as the team's No. 3 quarterback behind Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz. As an undrafted rookie last season, Brosmer appeared in eight games for the Vikings and completed 47 of 71 pass attempts for 328 yards, zero touchdowns and four interceptions while carrying seven times for 11 yards and also losing a fumble.

Daniels will avoid a procedure on his dislocated left elbow for the time being, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the quarterback could undergo surgery after the season.

Daniels has dislocated the elbow three times in less than a year, with his most recent aggravation of the injury occurring in the Commanders' Sept. 20 loss to the Cowboys. Surgery could provide a more permanent fix for the elbow, but for the time being, Daniels will rehab the injury and wear a brace for added protection when he eventually returns. After Daniels sat out the Commanders' Week 3 win over the Seahawks, head coach Dan Quinn said Monday that the quarterback would with the team to London this week and resume practicing in some capacity. The Commanders haven't ruled Daniels out from playing Sunday against the Colts, but he may need to put in at least one full practice in order to have a chance at reclaiming the starting role from Marcus Mariota, who performed well in his stead in Week 3.

Hurts completed 16 of 25 passes for 153 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while rushing four times for 25 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 27-7 loss to the Bears on Monday night.

Hurts scuffled through the air as much as his final suggests, averaging a modest 6.1 yards per attempt while taking a pair of sacks. The star signal-caller also absorbed a big hit on the sideline at the end of a two-yard scramble shortly before the midway point of the second quarter, and he missed four plays while undergoing a concussion check he subsequently passed. Hurts led the Eagles to their only points upon checking back in for the following possession, one he capped off with a one-yard touchdown run as time expired in the first half. That would prove to be the highlight of an otherwise forgettable night, and Hurts is averaging a modest 206.7 passing yards per game while carrying a 5:3 TD:INT into a Week 4 home showdown against the Rams on Sunday.

Keenum completed 24 of 34 passes for 247 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing four times for six yards and another score in the Bears' 27-7 win over the Eagles on Monday night. He also fumbled once but recovered.

Keenum's final numbers underscore how effective he was running Ben Johnson's aggressive offense against a quality defense. The 38-year-old signal-caller, who got the starting nod over Tyson Bagent in Caleb Williams' (hamstring) stead, connected with seven different targets overall, facilitating multi-reception tallies for four of his pass catchers. Keenum completed an eight-yard shovel pass to Luther Burden for his first touchdown toss of the night, and he followed it up with an impressive 41-yard scoring strike to Kalif Raymond in the latter portion of the third quarter for his two TD passes. He then closed out the scoring with a one-yard run just past the midway point of the final period, rounding out a rewarding fantasy night. Given Monday night's results, Keenum appears well in line to be under center for a Week 4 home matchup against the Jets on Sunday.

Hurts exited Monday's game versus Chicago to be evaluated for a concussion and has since been cleared to return.

Hurts was pulled after taking a hard hit midway through the second quarter. He headed to the medical tent and was replaced at quarterback by Andy Dalton, who threw an interception in the end zone to end a potential Eagles scoring drive. Hurts is now slated to get back behind center for Philadelphia following the brief but costly exit.

The Giants waived Haener on Monday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

The Giants signed Haener from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday in anticipation of Sunday's game against the Titans. The quarterback was utilized as a backup to Jameis Winston due to the injury to Jaxson Dart (knee). The team traded with the Vikings for quarterback J.J. McCarthy on Monday, meaning Haener's spot on the active roster has been filled by a younger option. If the quarterback clears waivers, there is a decent chance he ends up back with the Giants on the practice squad.

McKee (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the team's emergency third quarterback Monday night against the Bears.

McKee will operate as the team's No. 3 QB for the third straight week to open the regular season. The 26-year-old will only be eligible to enter the contest if both starter Jalen Hurts and top backup Andy Dalton sustain injuries.

Bills head coach Joe Brady downplayed any concern about Allen's health after the quarterback took a hit to his knee during the fourth quarter of Sunday's 24-16 win over the Chargers, Alex Brasky of SI.com reports. "We're gonna have to see how [Allen] progresses these next couple days," Brady said. "Josh is always a little [gimpy] after the game."

With just under 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, a Chargers defender appeared to plow into Allen's left knee at the end of an eight-yard run, leaving the quarterback grimacing in pain afterward. Allen didn't end up missing any snaps and even handled a designed run later on during that same possession, but he was seen favoring the knee in the locker room after the game, per Chris Trapasso of BuffaloRumblings.com. Allen could receive some extra treatment over the next several days while he continues to manage the knee issue, but Brady offered no indication that the star quarterback is at any risk of sitting out next Sunday's game against the Patriots.
