McKee (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as Philadelphia's emergency quarterback for Monday's game at Tampa Bay.

Though technically inactive, McKee will suit up and be ready to step under center in case both Jalen Hurts and Marcus Mariota go down with injuries in Week 3. Otherwise, he'll continue to wait for his first regular-season NFL action.

Cincinnati elevated Sinnett from its practice squad to the active roster ahead of Monday's game versus the Rams.

Starting quarterback Joe Burrow wants to suit up Monday, but there's still a chance he could be sidelined or otherwise limited in Week 3. Enter Sinnett, who profiles as the Bengals' third option at the position behind Burrow and Jake Browning in case something disastrous happens. He's yet to play a regular-season NFL snap.

Cincinnati is expected to elevate Sinnett from its practice squad to the active roster ahead of Monday's game versus the Rams, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

With starting quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) a game-time call for Monday Night Football, it makes sense for the Bengals to bring up Sinnett as a contingency plan. Any playing time Sinnett might see would be the first regular-season action of his NFL career.

Saints head coach Dennis Allen said Monday that Carr (shoulder) has a sprained AC joint and is considered week-to-week.

Allen noted that the team will evaluate Carr's progress throughout the week before making a determination on his availability for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. Jameis Winston, who replaced Carr in the 18-17 Week 3 loss to Green Bay, would continue to start under center if Carr misses additional time. Wednesday's practice report will offer the first official determination of Carr's availability moving forward.

Garoppolo has been placed in the NFL's concussion protocol, coach Josh McDaniels revealed Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Garoppolo took a helmet-to-helmet hit from Minkah Fitzpatrick in the second half of Sunday's 23-18 loss to Pittsburgh, though it's unclear if that play was the cause of the possible concussion. The quarterback was able to finish the game but didn't attend post-game media sessions because he was being evaluated for a head injury. Those evaluations have resulted in Garoppolo being placed in the league's five-step concussion protocol. Garoppolo's progress through the protocol likely will be updated throughout the week, and if he's unable to return in time to face the Chargers in Week 4, Brian Hoyer would likely get the start, with Aidan O'Connell on hand to provide quarterback depth.

Burrow (calf) intends to try and suit up for Monday night's game against the Rams, barring any setbacks, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Burrow appears to be trending in the right direction for Monday Night Football, but a final word on his status may not come until closer to Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. The star quarterback is officially listed as questionable for Week 3, but he's reportedly continued to feel better as the week has progressed, and he took first-team reps during Sunday's walk-through practice. Jake Browning would be in line to start for Cincinnati if Burrow's right calf injury doesn't react well during pregame warmups.

Mahomes avoided any significant injuries during Sunday's 41-10 win over the Bears, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Mahomes appeared to injure his right leg near the end of the first half of Sunday's blowout victory and was briefly seen limping, but a source confirmed to Pelissero on Monday that the star quarterback is fine. Through three contests this season, Mahomes is averaging 268 passing yards per game with seven passing touchdowns and two interceptions. The reigning NFL MVP appears on track to suit up Week 4 versus the Jets without limitations.

White completed both of his pass attempts for 67 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 70-20 win over Denver. He also lost one yard on his lone carry.

White entered the contest in the fourth quarter in relief of Tua Tagovailoa with the game already well out of hand, and he managed to connect with Robbie Chosen on a 68-yard score after a handful of initial plays were bottled up. It's difficult to take much away from Sunday's blowout win, but White certainly made the most of his first reserve action as a member of the Dolphins. He remains Tagovailoa's top backup heading into a Week 4 matchup at Buffalo.

Thompson-Robinson played five snaps in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Titans.

Thompson-Robinson saw regular-season action for the first time since being selected in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. He mopped up on the final drive, handing off five times to Pierre Strong. It would take an injury to Deshaun Watson to thrust Thompson-Robinson into a role with significant fantasy value.

Pickett completed 16 of 28 pass attempts for 235 yards and two touchdowns while adding 11 rushing yards on three attempts in Sunday's 23-18 win over the Raiders.

Pickett fared much better on Sunday Night Football than he did in a sloppy primetime win this past Monday. The second-year starter took care of the football without losing confidence in his deep ball, completing a touchdown of over 70 yards for the second week in a row. Pickett will have to continue showing progress to become a hot commodity in fantasy, but this was a step in the right direction after struggling in his previous two starts (albeit against two tough defenses). Pickett will look to build off Sunday's success in a Week 4 matchup against C.J. Stroud and the Texans.
