Jackson is slated to have surgery to address his right thumb injury and will be placed on injured reserve, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Per Wacker, Jackson's injury could potentially be season-ending according to coach Jesse Minter, with more context on that front presumably slated to arrive after the QB's thumb is checked out. With Tyler Huntley dealing with a toe injury, the Ravens' QB situation is in flux in Week 9, and beyond. Joe Fagnano finished up Sunday's game against the Bills, and it's likely the Ravens will add signal-caller depth ahead of Thursday's game against the Jaguars.

Cousins completed 19 of 26 passes for 247 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 38-33 win over the Jets. He added five rushing attempts for three yards and a rushing touchdown.

Cousins connected with Brock Bowers for touchdowns of 12 and two yards before scoring on a QB sneak in the third quarter for the 38-year-old QB's first rushing TD of the season and second rushing score since the start of the 2023 regular season. Cousins added a go-ahead two-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Nailor in the fourth quarter to take a 35-30 lead with 11:33 remaining. This was Cousins' fourth three-touchdown passing performance of the season but his first since Week 4. All four of those three-TD outings came in Vegas wins, and Cousins has added seven touchdown passes in the Raiders' four losses to bring his TD:INT to 19:5 heading into a Week 9 trip to San Francisco.

Nussmeier (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Denver, though he will be available as the team's emergency quarterback.

Nussmeier is inactive for another contest. However, the signal-caller will be available if Patrick Mahomes and Justin Fields exit the game due to injury, illness, or ejection.

Ehlinger (coach's decision) is inactive but will be the third emergency quarterback against the Chiefs on Sunday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

As the emergency QB3, Ehlinger is not allowed to play Sunday unless both Bo Nix and Jarrett Stidham leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Morton (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Patriots' emergency third quarterback against the Dolphins on Sunday.

As the emergency third quarterback, Morton is not allowed to play Sunday unless both Drake Maye and Tommy DeVito are removed from the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Huntley (toe) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Bills.

With Sunday starter Lamar Jackson also out for the remainder of the contest due to a right thumb injury, Joe Fagnano has been pressed into QB duties versus Buffalo. As a result of the pair of injuries at the position, Baltimore's signal-caller situation will need to be closely monitored ahead of Thursday night's game against the Jaguars.

Simpson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers but will serve as the team's emergency quarterback if needed.

Simpson will be inactive once again for Week 8. However, he will be eligible to play if Matthew Stafford and Stetson Bennett exit the contest due to injury, illness, or ejection.

Huntley (toe) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bills.

With Jackson (right thumb) having previously been ruled out for the remainder of the contest, Joe Fagnano - the Ravens' emergency No. 3 QB on Sunday -- has taken over for Huntley. Prior to hurting his toe, Huntley completed two of his four passing attempts for zero yards and was sacked once.

Jackson (right thumb) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Bills.

After previously being deemed questionable to return, Jackson has now been confirmed to be unavailable for the rest of the contest. In his absence, Tyler Huntley has taken over the Ravens' QB duties versus Buffalo. Prior to his first-quarter exit, Jackson didn't complete his only passing attempt.

Watson (undisclosed) returned to Sunday's game in Pittsburgh, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Watson endured a big hit on the Browns' first offensive possession and was required to visit the medical tent for what likely was to check on a possible concussion. He's since been cleared to return to action.
