Tannehill said after Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Ravens in London that he'll undergo an MRI after exiting the contest in the fourth quarter with a right ankle injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. He completed eight of 16 pass attempts for 76 yards and an interception before departing.

Tannehill limped off the field with the right ankle injury during the Titans' first possession of the second half, but he was able to check back into the contest for the next two drives while sporting a heavy tape job on the ankle. However, after a poor throw on the Titans' final drive of the third quarter resulted in a Geno Stone interception, Tannehill once again looked to be favoring the ankle and was carted to the locker room. Tannehill underwent X-rays while in the locker room, but the MRI should provide a clearer picture on the extent of the injury. With a bye on tap Week 7, Tannehill will have extra time to heal up from the injury before the Titans return to action Oct. 29 versus the Falcons.

Jackson completed 21 of 30 passes for 223 yards and a touchdown with one interception in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Titans. He added 62 rushing yards on 13 carries.

While Baltimore struggled in the red zone -- Justin Tucker carried the offense with six field goals -- Jackson did hit Zay Flowers for a 10-yard score in the second quarter, and the quarterback was able to extend plays and drives with his legs as he led the Ravens in rushing. Jackson's 5:3 TD:INT through six games isn't much, but he's completed at least 70 percent of his passes in five of those contests, suggesting better passing numbers should lie ahead once he's fully comfortable with offensive coordinator Todd Monken's new scheme. Next up in Week 7 is a home tilt against a Lions defense that's allowed eight passing TDs through five games, a figure topped by only four other secondaries.

Hall is active for Sunday's contest against the Bears and will serve as the backup quarterback.

Hall moves into the backup spot after the Vikings placed Nick Mullens (back) on injured reserve Wednesday. Hall has served as the emergency option this season and will be the next man up should Kirk Cousins sustain an injury.

Tannehill headed to the locker room on a cart in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Ravens with an apparent right ankle injury and is considered questionable to return, Jamie Erdahl of NFL Network reports.

Tannehill initially appeared to suffer the injury during the Titans' first possession of the third quarter, but he returned to the field with his ankle taped up for the team's subsequent two drives. After Tannehill underthrew a ball for an interception late in the third quarter, the Titans decided to send Tannehill to the locker room for further evaluation. Malik Willis took over at quarterback for Tannehill, who may not be available to return to the contest. If Tannehill's day is in fact done, he'll finish with eight completions on 16 attempts for 76 yards and an interception.

Luton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Luton latched on with the Saints when Derek Carr was dealing with a shoulder injury. However, the latter never had to miss any time, leaving Luton as the No. 4 quarterback behind Carr, Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill. Luton hasn't appeared in an NFL regular-season game since 2020.

Lock (ankle) is active for Sunday's contest against the Bengals.

The Seahawks added Holton Ahlers to the practice squad Thursday in case Lock couldn't suit up. Lock missed practice Thursday with an ankle injury but he'll serve as the backup quarterback behind Geno Smith for Sunday's game.

Woodside (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions, but he'll dress and serve as the Falcons' emergency quarterback, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

For a sixth straight week, Woodside will serve as the No. 3 quarterback. He won't count against the 53-man roster but will be available if Desmond Ridder and Taylor Heinicke are forced out of the game.

Jones will remain the Patriots' starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Raiders in Las Vegas, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that the third-year signal-caller will be "on a short leash," and a poor opening few series could result in him getting benched.

Though Jones was pulled early in blowout losses to the Cowboys and Saints in the past two weeks, head coach Bill Belichick reaffirmed his commitment to Jones after both contests. Even so, with Jones heading into Sunday with a 5:6 TD:INT, 6.0 yards per attempt and 62.5 percent completion rate through five games -- all of which represent steps back from his first two seasons in the league -- it's clear that the 25-year-old has lost some job security. In light of his struggles thus far, Jones warrants lineup consideration only in leagues that start two quarterbacks or have a QB flex spot, but he may be a dicey proposition even in those formats in Week 6 due to the risk of a mid-game benching. Though Bailey Zappe has replaced Jones in both of the past two games, Rapoport relays that Zappe and Will Grier have taken reps with the first-team offense along with Jones this week. The Patriots also signed versatile Malik Cunningham off the practice squad Saturday, though he may be a candidate for more immediate work at receiver rather than at quarterback.

The Colts are "strongly" considering the possibility of Richardson (shoulder) undergoing season-ending surgery to address his Grade 3 right AC joint sprain, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Indianapolis is reportedly trying to decide whether season-ending surgery is the best option for ensuring that Richardson is able to recover fully without setbacks, though such a procedure would end his rookie campaign prematurely after just four appearances. Richardson has already sought opinions from at least four specialists, though an MRI revealed the labrum in his right shoulder isn't torn. The Colts could feel confident turning to Gardner Minshew to direct the offense for the rest of the season, if necessary. Even so, if Richardson finishes his rookie season with just four appearances, it would give the Colts an incomplete evaluation in determining whether he's the franchise's long-term answer under center.

The Browns officially elevated Walker from their practice squad Saturday, setting the stage for him to start in place of quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder) on Sunday against the 49ers.

After Watson was a game-day scratch Week 4 due to a bruised rotator cuff in his right throwing shoulder, rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson got the nod as the only other QB on the active roster. The Browns had a Week 5 bye, but the extra rest wasn't enough for Watson to be able to play this Sunday. Consequently, Walker took on all the first-team reps during Week 6 prep and now is in line for his eighth career start. In the previous seven, he completed 104 of 163 passes (63.8 percent) for 1,096 yards, four touchdowns and six interceptions, recorded 14 carries for 43 yards and had three fumbles (one lost), all with the Panthers.
