Luton was released from the Seahawks practice squad Monday, John Boyle of Seahawks.com reports.

Luton was dropped from the practice squad to make room for the addition of Tyler Mabry. Now that Russell Wilson is back from injury, the Seahawks no longer have a need for another quarterback behind Wilson, Geno Smith and Jacob Eason.

Stafford completed 26 of 41 passes for 243 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions in Monday night's 31-10 loss to the 49ers.

Stafford was picked on a deep ball to start the game, then saw a drop turn into an interception returned for a touchdown on the next drive. Although more drops slowed him over the course of the game, Stafford also flirted with a couple other interceptions. The sudden injury absence of wideout Robert Woods (knee) impacted the Rams' game plan, but Stafford also struggled in his last outing before Woods got hurt, and the QB has thrown four picks in those primetime defeats. Fortunately, Los Angeles now enters its bye week, which should not only give new signing Odell Beckham time to familiarize himself with the offense, but also afford Stafford an opportunity to regather himself prior to facing the Packers in Week 12.

The Bills activated Trubisky (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

Sidelined for the Bills' past two games after testing positive for the virus Nov. 6, Trubisky looks poised to turn in a full week of practice and reclaim backup duties behind starting signal-caller Josh Allen in Sunday's game against the Colts. Davis Webb served as Allen's understudy in the Bills' 45-17 win over the Jets in Week 10 and took a couple of kneel downs at the end of the blowout victory.

Arizona head coach Kliff Kingsbury wouldn't commit to Murray (ankle) being available for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports. "It's going to be close," Kingsbury said, regarding Murray's chances of playing next weekend.

Murray was sidelined for a second straight game in the Cardinals' 34-10 loss to the Panthers this past weekend, enabling Colt McCoy to pick up another start before he exited with a pectoral strain. Kingsbury suggested that he's hopeful McCoy will be available for the game in Seattle next weekend if needed, but the Cardinals ideally would prefer to have their No. 1 quarterback in Murray back in action. Ultimately, Murray's ability to play Week 11 may hinge on what he's able to do in practices Wednesday through Friday. While tending to the left ankle sprain, Murray managed only one limited practice last week before being listed as questionable and then ultimately inactive for the loss to Carolina.

Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said Monday that Cam Newton will take most of the first-team reps in practice this week, signaling that Walker likely will return to a backup role for Carolina's Week 11 matchup with Washington, Jonathan M. Alexander of The Charlotte Observer reports. "If [Newton is] ready to start, great," Rhule said. "If he's not quite ready, obviously P.J. is available."

After Sam Darnold (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Friday with the expectation that he'll be sidelined for the remainder of the season, Walker stepped in for his second career start over the weekend in the Panthers' 34-10 win over the Cardinals. Though the Panthers were essentially in control of the contest from opening kickoff, Walker wasn't the solid game manager that Carolina's 24-point margin of victory implied. While he completed 22 of his 29 throws, Walker averaged a weak 5.8 yards per attempt and committed two turnovers (an interception and a lost fumble). Meanwhile, Newton -- who inked a one-year deal with Carolina on Thursday -- was eased into the game plan with a limited snap count and cashed in with touchdowns through the air and on the ground. With a full week of prep in practice, the expectation is that the veteran signal-caller will take over as the team's starter moving forward as Carolina looks to keep itself in the thick of a packed NFC playoff race.

McCoy was diagnosed Monday with a pectoral strain, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

McCoy was removed from Sunday's loss to the Panthers in the third quarter and was unable to return to the contest. However, he doesn't appear to be dealing with a major injury, and he'll likely be available to start Week 11 against Seattle if Kyler Murray (ankle) isn't cleared to return from a two-game absence.

Coach Brian Flores said Monday that he expect Tagovailoa (finger) to start Sunday's game against the Jets, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Tagovailoa replaced Jacoby Brissett midway through Thursday's game against the Ravens and led the Dolphins to a win, though he only completed eight of 13 pass attempts for 158 yards without a touchdown or interception in the process. Though Flores mentioned that Tagovailoa injured his finger further Week 10 and played through discomfort, it looks like Miami is confident enough in the 2020 first-rounder's health that there aren't questions about his availability going forward. It's possible that Will Fuller (finger) could retake the field in time to face the Jets, though DeVante Parker (shoulder) isn't yet eligible to return from IR.

Coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Mayfield (knee) is "day-to-day" but is "feeling good about where he is this morning," Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Mayfield, who is already dealing with a torn labrum in his left shoulder, was forced out of Sunday's loss to the Patriots due to a right knee injury. He completed 11 of 21 passes for 73 yards with a TD and an interception before being replaced by Case Keenum. X-rays undergone after Sunday's loss revealed that Mayfield didn't suffer any structural damage, and Stefanski said he expects him to be available Week 11 versus the Lions, but a final decision won't be made until the Browns have evaluated what the quarterback is able to do in practice.

Goff suffered an oblique injury during the first quarter of Sunday's 16-16 tie with the Steelers, but he didn't miss any snaps and said he'll be fine moving forward, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

While Goff expects to play Week 11in Cleveland, he'll likely be listed on the injury report after visibly dealing with pain/discomfort throughout Sunday's game. He did say the rain in Pittsburgh impacted his performance more than the oblique injury, after completing 14 of 25 passes for 114 yards with no touchdowns or turnovers. Goff has thrown only eight TD passes in nine games this year, with seven of those coming in the first four weeks of the season. Over his past five games, Goff has one touchdown versus five turnovers and has been sacked 16 times.

Carr completed 25 of 35 pass attempts for 261 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 41-14 loss to the Chiefs.

Carr turned in a decent performance when you consider the Raiders lacked any semblance of a running game (running backs combined for 32 yards on 11 carries). The game got out of hand in the second half, and the Chiefs' secondary focused on shutting down any deep routes. The veteran quarterback connected with his new deep threat, DeSean Jackson, on a 38-yard bomb, but the wideout ended up fumbling at the end of the play, causing a shift in momentum that Las Vegas never recovered from. Carr and the 5-4 Raiders will look to bounce back against the Bengals next Sunday.
