Jackson is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bills due to a right thumb injury.

Jackson remains in the Baltimore locker room for further evaluation after he was forced out of the game following the team's first offensive play of the day, when his hand made contact with a Bills defender as he was following through on a throw. Tyler Huntley took over at quarterback and will be tasked with directing the offense for the rest of the afternoon if Jackson is unable to return. Jackson had been cleared to start Sunday after missing the Ravens' previous three games due to an ankle sprain.

Jackson headed to the locker room after sustaining an apparent injury to his throwing hand during Sunday's game against the Bills, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

After missing the Ravens' previous three games due to an ankle sprain, Jackson lasted just one play before succumbing to a new injury. The quarterback was in visible pain after his hand appeared to make contact with the arm of a Bills defender while he was following through on a pass attempt. Rather than heading to the medical tent on the sideline, Jackson immediately jogged to the locker room to receive treatment. Until the Ravens provide an update on Jackson's status, Tyler Huntley will direct the offense.

Watson went to the sideline tent in the first quarter of Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Watson took a big hit on the Browns' first offensive possession, and it appears he may be undergoing a check for a possible concussion. Shedeur Sanders will take over for Watson for as long as the latter is sidelined.

Leonard (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the emergency third quarterback against the Jaguars on Sunday, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.

As the emergency QB3, Leonard is now allowed to see the field Sunday unless both Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson are taken out of the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Brosmer (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Vikings' emergency third quarterback against the Lions on Sunday.

As the emergency QB3, Brosmer is prohibited from playing Sunday unless both Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Gabriel (coach's decision) is inactive but will be the emergency third quarterback against the Steelers on Sunday, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

Gabriel opened the regular season on injured reserve due to a back injury, but he was cleared to be activated from IR on Monday. He'll be the Browns' emergency QB3 in his return, which means he's not allowed to play Sunday unless both Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Beck (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game in Dallas, though he will be available as the team's QB3, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Beck has been battling a back injury. While the rookie is seemingly healthy, he will be inactive for the Week 8 meeting with the Cowboys. However, Beck will be eligible to play if Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew leave the game due to illness, injury or ejection.

Howard (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Steelers' emergency third quarterback against the Browns on Sunday.

Howard will continue to operate as the emergency QB3, which means he is not allowed to play Sunday unless both Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph are removed from the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Fagnano (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Ravens' emergency third quarterback Sunday against the Bills.

Fagnano operated as the Ravens' backup quarterback behind Tyler Huntley for each of the team's prior three games in the absence of Lamar Jackson, who has been cleared to return for Sunday's contest against Buffalo. As the emergency QB3, Fagnano is not allowed to play unless both Jackson and Huntley are taken out of the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Dalton is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers, though he will be available as the team's emergency backup if necessary.

Dalton agreed to a deal with the Falcons in October. While the veteran signal-caller will be inactive for the Week 8 meeting against Tampa Bay, he will be eligible to play if Michael Penix and Tua Tagovailoa exit the game due to injury, illness or ejection.
