The Saints signed Luton off the Panthers' practice squad Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Luton will likely operate as the team's No. 2 quarterback Sunday against the Buccaneers with Jake Haener still serving a six-game suspension and Derek Carr expected to be out with a shoulder injury. The Oregon State product spent time with New Orleans in 2022 and should be familiar with the offense, making him a viable emergency option for the franchise.

Allen saw action for the second straight week, playing 11 snaps in Buffalo's 37-3 win over Washington in Week 3. He did not attempt a pass and rushed twice for minus-2 yards.

The score indicates exactly why Allen was in there -- for the second game in a row the Bills blew out their opponent and used the fourth quarter to keep franchise quarterback Josh Allen in one piece. What's not shown in the stats is that Kyle Allen actually led the Bills to their final touchdown drive, mostly by handing the ball off to his teammates and letting them continue to run over the Washington D. Kyle Allen does have value if Josh were ever to miss a few games, given the firepower the team has on offense.

The Jets are expected to sign Siemian to their practice squad, pending the quarterback passing a physical, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

The transaction isn't official yet, but if it happens, Siemian will be the first outside addition to the Jets' QB room following the loss of Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) for the season. Currently the team is rolling with Zach Wilson as its starter and Tim Boyle as the No. 2 option.

Burrow (calf) completed 26 of 49 pass attempts for 259 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Monday's 19-16 win over the Rams.

Burrow was able to power through his lingering calf injury in order to help Cincinnati earn its first victory of the 2023 campaign. The star quarterback was clearly not at full strength, making several errant throws and showing limited mobility in the pocket. The end result was another pedestrian fantasy line for a player who sat near the top of all passing categories over the last two seasons. On the bright side, Burrow confirmed to Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic that he did not suffer any setbacks to his calf in a post-game interview following Monday's victory. The best hope for the quarterback's fantasy managers at this point is that he continues to inch closer to full strength as the season progresses. Assuming Burrow gets through this week's practice unscathed, he should be back under center for the Bengals in a tough road matchup against the Titans next Sunday.

Stafford completed 18 of 33 pass attempts for 269 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Monday's 19-16 loss to the Bengals, while rushing once for seven yards.

Two of the Rams' offensive linemen, Alaric Jackson (thigh) and Joe Noteboom (knee), both went down with injuries during Monday's showdown, and as a result the veteran quarterback was the recipient of six sacks and was under constant duress for the duration of the contest. A late one-yard toss to Tutu Atwell helped Stafford avoid going without a touchdown pass in two of his first three contests of the year, a small consolation prize to fantasy managers who gambled on what looked to be a high-octane Rams pass attack. A beatable Colts defense is up next for the Rams in Week 4, but if Jackson and Noteboom were to miss time, it could be another tough outing for Stafford.

Mayfield completed 15 of 25 passes for 146 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Buccaneers' 25-11 loss to the Eagles on Monday night. He also rushed once for two yards and committed a fumble recovered by Tampa Bay.

Mayfield found life much more difficult than during the first two games of his Buccaneers starting tenure, as he was sacked twice and also committed his first turnover of the campaign. The veteran signal-caller found favorite target Mike Evans for his one touchdown pass of the evening, but no other pass catcher surpassed three receptions or 32 yards. Mayfield averaged a meager 5.8 yards per attempt as well, and he'll likely have an uphill battle trying to bounce back in a Week 4 road matchup against the similarly tough Saints defense.

Hurts completed 23 of 37 passes for 277 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Monday's 25-11 win over the Buccaneers. He added 10 rushing attempts for 28 yards and a rushing touchdown.

Hurts got almost half of his yardage throwing to A.J. Brown (nine catches for 131 yards), but he also made two key throws to Olamide Zaccheaus on Philadelphia's first touchdown drive, as they connected for a 24-yard gain followed by a 34-yard touchdown three plays later to take a 10-3 lead in the second quarter. After being stuffed on a third-down quarterback sneak from the one-yard line in the third quarter, Hurts tried again on fourth down to produce his third rushing touchdown through three games. He was also picked off twice and has a pedestrian 3:3 TD:INT through the air after posting a 22:6 TD:INT in 2022. Having led Philadelphia to a 3-0 record despite throwing for just 640 yards, Hurts next will set his sights on avenging last season's home loss to the Commanders in a Week 4 rematch.

Luton reverted to the Panthers' practice squad Monday.

Luton was elevated to operate as the backup quarterback behind Andy Dalton in Week 3 while regular starter Bryce Young (ankle) was unavailable. If Young can't go again in Week 4 versus the Vikings, Luton will likely be added to the active roster again.

Burrow (calf) is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Rams, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

Burrow was officially listed as questionable for the contest after being deemed a limited participant in practice Friday and Saturday, but he'll give it a go Monday and is set to work through his right calf strain. It remains to be seen how close the Bengals' franchise signal-caller will be to 100 percent versus Los Angeles, but should Burrow suffer any in-game setbacks, Jake Browning is next in line for the team's QB snaps, with practice-squad elevation Reid Sinnett on hand in reserve.

Burrow (calf) is expected to play Monday night against the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network and Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer report.

Burrow approached the contest officially listed as questionable after being a limited participant in practice Friday and Saturday, but it appears as though he will play through his strained right calf Monday. Official confirmation of the QB's Week 3 status will arrive once the Bengals' inactives are posted ahead of the team's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.
