Coach Dan Quinn said after Sunday's loss to the Cowboys that Daniels will undergo an MRI on his injured hamstring Monday, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

Quinn said Daniels wanted to go back in the game against Dallas, but the Commanders ultimately opted to hold him out with Washington trailing by multiple scores. The Commanders have an extra day of rest ahead of next Monday night's Week 8 date with the Chiefs. If Daniels is deemed unfit to play against Kansas City, Marcus Mariota would draw the start under center.

Fields completed six of 12 passes for 46 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Panthers. He rushed the ball four times for 22 yards.

Fields struggled to get the offense moving, as the Jets picked up only six first downs and 97 net yards through the first two quarters. He was benched coming out of the half in favor of Tyrod Taylor, though Taylor wasn't much more effective, throwing two interceptions to doom any chance of a Jets comeback. After the game, coach Aaron Glenn didn't commit to a quarterback for the Jets' Week 8 matchup against the Bengals, instead saying it would be a position he needs to evaluate, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.

Coach Jonathan Gannon said after Sunday's loss to the Packers that Murray (foot) remains the Cardinals' starting quarterback when healthy, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Murray suffered a mid-foot sprain in the Week 5 loss to the Titans, and Jacoby Brissett has started the last two contests, both narrow losses to the Colts and Packers by a combined eight points. Brissett again had Arizona competitive Sunday against Green Bay, completing 25 of 36 pass attempts for 279 yards and two touchdowns, adding six rushing attempts for 26 yards with his legs. In two starts under center, Brissett has completed 52 of 80 passes for 599 yards, four touchdowns and just one interception. He's rushed nine times for 45 yards. The Cardinals have looked more competitive with Brissett at the controls, but Murray still has his coach's support as the starter. Arizona has a Week 8 bye before going on the road to face Dallas in Week 9.

Jones completed 23 of 34 passes for 288 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Chargers. He added seven rushing yards on five carries and threw a two-point conversion to Michael Pittman.

The 28-year-old QB threw multiple TD passes for a third straight game, hitting Pittman and Tyler Warren for scores in the red zone during the second quarter. Jones might have posted even better numbers in a more competitive contest, but the Colts focused on killing the clock in the fourth quarter after building a 38-17 lead. Jones already appears to be almost a shoe-in for the Comeback Player of the Year Award after seven weeks in charge of the Indy offense, leading the team to an NFL-best 6-1 record, and he'll take a 71.0 percent completion rate and 10:3 TD:INT into a Week 8 meeting with the Titans.

Daniels (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Daniels injured his hamstring on the Commanders' first possession of the second half, and with the game somewhat out of hand already at 44-22 early in the fourth quarter, Washington will not send him back out on the field. Prior to getting hurt, Daniels completed 12 of 22 passes for 156 yards and one touchdown, adding eight carries for 35 yards. Marcus Mariota will finish out the Week 7 contest. Daniels will have an extra day to recover ahead of a Week 8 date with the Chiefs on Monday, Oct. 27.

Wentz completed 26 of 42 passes for 313 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions and added four rushes for 28 yards in the Vikings' 28-22 loss to the Eagles on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.

Facing the team that drafted him second overall back in 2016, Wentz put together a fantasy-friendly effort save for his pair of interceptions, one which was a pick-six. The veteran signal-caller connected on completions of 25-plus yards with each of his top three receivers -- Jordan Addison, Justin Jefferson and Jalen Nailor -- and he saw a fourth-quarter touchdown pass to T.J. Hockenson reversed on replay when it was determined the tight end didn't maintain control all the way through his attempted catch. Wentz's yardage total marked his second time eclipsing the 300-yard threshold during his four-game starting tenure, and he projects to remain under center for Thursday night's Week 8 road matchup against the Chargers since the Vikings are expected to give J.J. McCarthy (ankle) one more game before potentially reinserting him into action.

Maye completed 21 of 23 passes for 222 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Titans. He added eight rushes for 62 yards.

The Patriots pulled away from the Titans midway through the third quarter and also scored a defensive touchdown, both of which limited Maye's pass attempts. However, he was excellent with his opportunities, completing four passes of at least 20 yards -- highlighted by a 39-yard touchdown toss to Kayshon Boutte late in the second quarter to give New England a lead it wouldn't relinquish. Maye also supplemented his work through the air with his highest rushing total of the campaign. He has now thrown for multiple touchdowns and averaged over 9.0 yards per attempt in five of seven games this season.

Williams completed 15 of 26 passes for 172 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while netting minus-2 yards on four carries in the Bears' 26-14 win over the Saints on Sunday. He also committed two fumbles, one which he recovered and the other which remained with Chicago.

Williams' final line underscores the unremarkable performance he authored in the double-digit home win. The 2024 first overall pick averaged 6.6 yards per attempt and generally scuffled against a beatable Saints defense, posting his lowest passing yardage total of the campaign. Williams did connect on another three completions of 20-plus yards, and his 20 such passes on the season over six games are exactly half the tally he generated in that category across 17 regular-season games in 2024. Williams next faces off with an inconsistent Ravens defense on the road in a Week 8 matchup next Sunday afternoon.

Daniels injured his right hamstring during Sunday's game at Dallas, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

Daniels sustained the injury when he was strip sacked on Washington's first possession of the second half, a play in which Cowboys defender Shemar James rolled into the back of his legs. The second-year signal-caller remained on the turf for a spell and then walked off the field with a visible limp. After a visit to the sideline tent, Daniels jogged to the locker room favoring his right leg, at which point he was deemed questionable to return. Marcus Mariota will lead the Commanders offense for as long as Daniels is unavailable.

X-rays on Young's right ankle were returned negative during Sunday's 13-6 win at the Jets, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Young's ankle was twisted when he took a sack late in the third quarter, and the Panthers eventually ruled out the third-year pro from returning to the contest. He thus finished Week 7 having completed 15 of 25 passes for 138 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions and rushing twice for 10 yards. If Young needs to miss any time due to the injury, Carolina will turn to veteran signal-caller Andy Dalton to direct the offense.
