Matt Ryan, and not Ehlinger, was seen taking warmups with the first-team center before Sunday's game against Las Vegas, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

It looks like new head coach Jeff Saturday could be making a switch at quarterback with Ryan moving back to the starting role. However, nothing is official yet.

Smith completed 23 of his 33 passes for 275 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 21-16 loss to Tampa Bay.

Smith had a costly fumble deep in Tampa Bay territory late in the third quarter, which was a contributing cause to Seattle's loss. However, he was strong from a fantasy perspective, averaging 8.3 yards per attempt while also connecting for scores of 21 and 19 yards. Smith now has multiple touchdown throws in four consecutive games, and he has recorded exactly 275 passing yards in two straight contests.

Wolford will start in place of Matthew Stafford (concussion) on Sunday versus the Cardinals, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Wolford handled the first-teams reps during Week 10 prep as Stafford attempted to clear the concussion protocol following Tuesday's diagnosis. With Stafford sidelined Sunday, Wolford will earn his third career start, including playoffs. In five overall appearances as a pro, Wolford has completed 26 of 48 passes (54.2 percent) for 265 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions and recorded nine carries for 57 yards.

McCoy will start in place of Kyler Murray (hamstring) on Sunday at the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Murray's availability came down to a game-time decision, and the Cardinals are exercising caution with their franchise signal-caller due to the hamstring injury that contained him to two limited practices during Week 10 prep. In three spot starts for Murray last season, McCoy completed 68 of 90 passes (75.6 percent) for 684 yards, three touchdowns and one interception and had 14 carries for 40 yards.

Stafford (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

After entering the concussion protocol Tuesday, Stafford was unable to mix into drills until Friday, when he was limited at practice. Despite entering the weekend as questionable, he seemed like a long shot to play Week 10 considering the quick turnaround following the diagnosis, and he indeed won't be available Sunday. In Stafford's place, John Wolford will make the sixth appearance and third start of his career. Stafford will look to clear the aforementioned protocol ahead of next Sunday's road matchup with the Saints.

Murray (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game at the Rams.

Murray showed up on the Cardinals' initial Week 10 practice report as a non-participant due to a hamstring injury. After managing back-to-back limited sessions to cap the week, he was listed as questionable, and coach Kliff Kingsbury said Friday that Murray's availability would come down to a game-time decision. A pregame warmup ultimately determined Murray's fate, and he'll take a seat with an eye on returning Week 11 for a Monday night matchup with the 49ers on Nov. 21. Murray will cede quarterback duties Sunday to Colt McCoy, while Trace McSorley serves as the backup.

Keenum is expected to remain the Bills' backup quarterback Sunday against the Vikings with Josh Allen (elbow) active for the contest and slated to start, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Though Allen was listed as questionable heading into Sunday's game after he managed just one limited practice this week due to the UCL injury he sustained in the Week 9 loss to the Jets, the Bills' decision not to add a third quarterback to the active roster Saturday pointed to Allen being ready to go. While Allen avoided the inactive list, he didn't initially take part in warmups with the team before he finally got on the field to take the first 11-on-11 walk-through rep with the offense, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Allen's activity on the field accompanied with Schefter's report thus points to Keenum serving in his usual backup role, though Keenum will remain ready to go on in the event Allen incurs any in-game setbacks.

Allen (right elbow) will start Sunday's game against the Vikings, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Allen is dealing with an ulnar collateral ligament injury that he sustained during Week 9 action, but he's active and will get the starting nod Sunday, with backup Case Keenum on hand in the event that Allen is limited at all or suffers any setbacks versus Minnesota

Willis will return to a backup role Sunday against the Broncos with Ryan Tannehill (ankle) active for the contest and cleared to start, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

While Tannehill was sidelined for the past two weeks, Willis started but handled little more than a caretaker role while the Titans leaned even more heavily into the Derrick Henry-led ground attack. Willis showed some rushing upside of his own by carrying 13 times for 52 yards in games against the Texans and Chiefs in Weeks 8 and 9, respectively, but he showed little polish as a passer, completing just 11 of 26 attempts for 135 yards and an interception. So long as Tannehill stays healthy the rest of the way, Willis' remaining opportunities this season will likely come in garbage-time situations late in games.

Bridgewater (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Bridgewater's knee flared up this week and the Dolphins have elected to play it safe with their No. 2 QB, which sets the stage for Skylar Thompson to back up Tua Tagovailoa on Sunday. Bridgewater will now target a return to the mix in Week 12 versus the Texans, following Miami's Week 11 bye.
