  • Jayden Daniels QB | WAS

    Commanders' Jayden Daniels: No long-term concerns with elbow

    Coach Dan Quinn noted Monday that Daniels is "sore" following Week 14 action, but added that there are no "long-term concerns" with the QB's left (non-throwing) elbow, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Per Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C., Quinn previously relayed that Daniels (left elbow) could have returned to Sunday's 31-0 loss to Vikings after exiting the contest, but it was a coach's decision to keep the signal-caller on the sideline. That said, Quinn indicated Monday that Daniels will be monitored ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants, with the QB's Week 15 status yet to be determined.

  • Riley Leonard QB | IND

    Colts' Riley Leonard: Week 15 status uncertain

    Coach Shane Steichen noted Monday that "the hope" is Leonard (right knee) will be able to play Sunday against the Seahawks, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    At this stage, Steichen can't say for certain that Leonard will be available this weekend, which means that current practice squad member Brett Rypien may be pressed into duty in Week 15. In any case, it seems likely that the Colts will bring in another QB in short order, with Daniel Jones out for the season with an Achilles' injury and Anthony Richardson (orbital) still on IR.

  • Daniel Jones QB | IND

    Colts' Daniel Jones: Season-ending injury confirmed

    Coach Shane Steichen confirmed Monday that Jones sustained a torn right Achilles during Sunday's loss to the Jaguars.

    The quarterback will miss the remainder of the 2025 season and is slated to undergo surgery within the next week, per Steichen. Sixth-round rookie Riley Leonard, who replaced Jones Sunday, is also dealing with a knee injury of his own, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. While Steichen thinks Leonard will be able to play in Week 15 against the Seahawks, that's not a lock to happen. With Anthony Richardson (orbital fracture) still on IR and not in line to be activated this week, practice squad member Brett Rypien could end up drawing the start instead of Leonard. In his first campaign with Indianapolis, Jones had been re-establishing himself as a viable QB1, throwing for 3,101 yards with a 19:8 TD in 13 games to go along with 45 carries for 164 yards and five rushing TDs. The 28-year-old is facing a lengthy rehab, and considering that he's on track to become a free agent this offseason, his future with the Colts is uncertain.

  • Colts' Anthony Richardson: Will remain on IR

    Richardson (orbital) will not be activated from injured reserve this week, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

    The Colts find themselves in need of options at the quarterback spot with Daniel Jones (Achilles) out for the season and Riley Leonard (knee) also banged up, but Richardson will not be one of them immediately, as his recovery continues from the orbital fracture he sustained in mid-October. Brett Rypien -- who is on the practice squad -- is the only Colts quarterback without an injury concern heading into Week 15.

  • Riley Leonard QB | IND

    Colts' Riley Leonard: Dealing with knee injury

    Leonard is dealing with a knee injury, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

    Leonard replaced an injured Daniel Jones (Achilles) in Sunday's contest and finished out the game, but it appears he picked up an injury of his own. The extent of the injury is not yet known. With Jones out for the season and Anthony Richardson (orbital) on injured reserve, practice-squad quarterback Brett Rypien is currently the only healthy Colts quarterback option.

  • Daniel Jones QB | IND

    Colts' Daniel Jones: Diagnosed with torn Achilles

    Jones was diagnosed with a torn right Achilles tendon, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

    Jones underwent an MRI on Monday after leaving Sunday's loss to the Jaguars with an Achilles injury, and it was confirmed that he is dealing with a setback that will bring an end to his season. A timeline for his recovery was not provided, but his absence will almost certainly be measured in months. Sixth-round rookie Riley Leonard replaced Jones in Sunday's contest, and both Anthony Richardson (orbital) and Brett Rypien could be in the mix for snaps, though Richardson is on injured reserve and Rypien currently resides on the practice squad.

  • Browns' Shedeur Sanders: Will start rest of season

    Sanders will start at quarterback for the remainder of the season, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Sanders broke out in a big way in Week 14, throwing for 364 yards, running for 29 more and totaling four touchdowns, and he showed enough to remain under center for the Browns the rest of the way. Before most fantasy football seasons end in Week 17, Sanders will have a couple favorable matchups sandwiched around a tough one, as the Bears, Bills and Steelers line up next on Cleveland's schedule.

  • Geno Smith QB | NYJ

    Raiders' Geno Smith: Dealing with shoulder injury

    Smith sustained a right shoulder injury during Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Broncos, Ryan McFadden of ESPN reports.

    Following the game, coach Pete Carroll said that Smith's shoulder "locked up" after he completed a pass late in the third quarter, which paved the way for Kenny Pickett to play the remainder of the contest. In terms of Smith's Week 15 status, Carroll noted that an early test revealed that the QB (who also sustained a cut on his right hand versus Denver) had avoided serious damage to his shoulder, while adding that he'll lean toward starting the veteran signal-caller Nov.14 against the Eagles, health permitting.

  • Tyrod Taylor QB | NYJ

    Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Week 15 starting QB TBD

    Coach Aaron Glenn noted Monday that the Jets are still gathering information on the health and availability of Taylor (groin) and Justin Fields (knee), Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Fields was inactive for Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins, and Taylor lasted only two series in the contest because of a groin injury before being replaced by rookie Brady Cook. In terms of the Jets' QB plans for a Week 15 game against the Jaguars, Glenn indicated Monday that the team will "have to see what guys are healthy enough to go out there and give us a chance to win." The team's signal-caller situation likely won't gain any clarity until at least Wednesday, when the Jets' next practice/injury report is posted.

  • C.J. Stroud QB | HOU

    Texans' C.J. Stroud: Avoids mistakes in win

    Stroud completed 15 of 31 passes for 203 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs. He added two rushes for five yards.

    Stroud led the Texans to consecutive scoring drives late in the first quarter and into the second quarter, during which he completed long passes of 46 and 53 yards while also capping a touchdown drive with a nine-yard pass to Woody Marks. He didn't muster much production thereafter, as Houston's only additional score came on a short field as the result of a turnover of downs by Kansas City. Positively, Stroud did not turn the ball over and helped Houston continue to surge toward a playoff spot, though he has only one total touchdown in two games since returning from a concussion.
