Allen (right elbow) didn't participate in the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

Per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com, coach Sean McDermott previously referred to Allen -- who didn't practice Wednesday -- as day-to-day in advance of Sunday's game against the Vikings. When asked if Allen would be able to play in the contest, McDermott replied, "We'll see." Look for added context with regard to the QB's chances of playing this weekend to arrive no later than Friday's injury report, but if Allen ends up being held out, Case Keenum would be in line to draw the start for the Bills in Week 10.

The Saints re-signed Luton to their practice squad Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Luton has been up and down between New Orleans' practice squad and active roster throughout the campaign, so he's already familiar with the organization. Though he was active for two games this season, he has yet to take a snap with the Saints. In fact, Luton hasn't seen NFL game action since 2020 with Jacksonville, so his role is clearly to provide organizational depth in case of an injury to either Andy Dalton or Jameis Winston.

Stafford (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Per Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic, Rams head coach Sean McVay revealed Wednesday that Stafford was put in the concussion protocol Tuesday based on his discussion with team physicians in the aftermath of a loss to the Buccaneers this past Sunday. If Stafford isn't cleared before Sunday's game against Arizona, the already-struggling Rams offense will be led by backup quarterback John Wolford.

Rodgers (thumb) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

For the fifth week in a row, Rodgers is opening game prep with either some or no activity. This time around, it was the latter, but that may be due to most of the Packers' skill-position group and top two offensive linemen having some sort of practice limitations Wednesday. Wide receivers Romeo Doubs (ankle) and Sammy Watkins (knee) also sat out the session, wideout Allen Lazard (shoulder) and running back Aaron Jones (ankle) were limited, and wideout Christian Watson (concussion protocol) was a full participant. Rodgers will look to get back in the mix Thursday and/or Friday as the team prepares for Sunday's showdown with the Cowboys.

Tannehill (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Tannehill managed limited showings last Wednesday and Friday before ultimately missing a second straight game in Sunday's overtime loss to the Chiefs. Malik Willis will make another start this Sunday against Denver if Tannehill isn't ready to play.

Murray was a non-participant at Wednesday's walk-through session due to a hamstring injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

The Cardinals' first injury report of Week 10 is merely an estimate, but Murray wouldn't have taken part if the team had held an actual practice. As such, his status will be one to watch Thursday and Friday to get a sense of his availability for Sunday's game at the Rams.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that Stafford is in the concussion protocol, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Stafford struggled to move the offense during this past Sunday's 16-13 loss at Tampa Bay, where he completed 13 of 27 passes for 165 yards and one touchdown, was sacked four times and overall took eight quarterback hits. Now that he's in the concussion protocol, Stafford is subject to its five phases in order to gain clearance for game action. Wednesday's injury report may give an indication of Stafford's current standing in the protocol. If he's able to practice Wednesday in a limited capacity, he could be on a path to playing Sunday versus the Cardinals.

Allen (elbow) won't practice Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, head coach Sean McDermott referred to Allen as "day-to-day" as Sunday's game against the Vikings approaches. With the star signal-caller's Week 10 status yet to be determined, backup Case Keenum is in line to handle first-team quarterback reps for the Bills on Wednesday.

Allen, who is dealing with a UCL sprain to his right elbow, is expected to have his reps limited in practice this week, but the Bills remain hopeful that he'll play Sunday against the Vikings, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Allen picked up the injury in the Bills' Week 9 loss to the Jets, though he wasn't forced to miss any snaps because of it. Even so, Allen still seems to be affected by the injury, though both the quarterback and the team believe the elbow sprain will be something he'll be able to manage moving forward. While Allen is likely to sit out Wednesday or participate in the Bills' first Week 10 session as only a limited participant, the early expectation is that he'll be ready to start by the time Sunday rolls around. Rapoport notes that how Allen's elbow responds this week will be a significant factor in the 26-year-old's availability and outlook moving forward.

Ehlinger remains the starter heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Raiders on Sunday, Kevin Hickey of USA Today reports.

Indianapolis' new head coach, Jeff Saturday, replacing Frank Reich, said in his opening press conference Monday that "Sam [Ehlinger] will be the quarterback." The 2021 sixth-round pick is coming off a dispiriting loss to New England but did show some flashes in his debut versus the Commanders in Week 8, and he could find more success against an exploitable Raiders defense on Sunday. Through two NFL starts, Ehlinger is still without his first passing touchdown but has thrown one interception.
