McSorley is left as the No. 2 quarterback after Robert Griffin suffered a thumb injury, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

With a recovery estimate of 4-to-8 weeks, Griffin is in danger of missing the regular-season opener. Baltimore is sure to sign a third healthy quarterback soon, but the new addition won't necessarily unseat the rookie sixth-round pick. McSorley completed 59.3 percent of his passes at Penn State, making up for it with a 77:25 TD:INT rate and 30 rushing touchdowns in 46 games. Greg Roman's run-heavy offense in Baltimore is the one NFL scheme McSorley might be able to handle as a rookie, though he'd still be a downgrade from starter Lamar Jackson.

Boyle returned to practice Sunday after tending to a personal matter, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Boyle didn't participate in Saturday's practice due to the personal matter, but made a quick return. He'll likely return to receiving third-team reps behind Aaron Rodgers and DeShone Kizer.

Boyle did not participate in Saturday's practice due to a personal matter, Wes Hodkiewicz of Packers.com reports.

Boyle likely won't miss an extended period of time as he tends to a personal matter, but for now Manny Wilkins could see additional reps in practice behind Aaron Rodgers and DeShone Kizer.

Garoppolo (knee) is cleared for a full workload during training camp, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Limited to 7-on-7 drills throughout most of the offseason program, Garoppolo capped off June minicamp with a single rep in 11-on-11s. Coach Kyle Shanahan said his starting quarterback won't play in the exhibition opener but could make an appearance later in the preseason, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. Garoppolo is now more than 10 months removed from suffering a torn ACL in Week 3 last season.

McCoy (leg) received clearance for the start of training camp, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

Coach Jay Gruden said McCoy, Case Keenum and Dwayne Haskins will all get reps throughout training camp in a three-way quarterback battle that could come down to the wire, per JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington. Keenum has the most recent starting experience and Haskins boasts the most long-term upside, but McCoy at least has one advantage in the form of his familiarity with Gruden's offense.

Christion signed a contract with the Cowboys on Wednesday, Rob Phillips of the team's official site reports.

Christion claims the opening on Dallas' roster created following the release of wideout Allen Hurns. The South Dakota State product originally signed with the Seahawks after being passed over in the 2019 NFL Draft, and will now provide competition for depth quarterbacks Cooper Rush and Mike White with the Cowboys.

Winston arrived at Buccaneers training camp ahead of schedule Monday to participate in a three-day "Quarterback School", Carmen Vitali of the team's official site reports.

Bucs veterans aren't required to be in the building until Thursday, but Winston, along with Blaine Gabbert, Ryan Griffin and Nick Fitzgerald (NFI, hamstring), were all present and accounted for Monday. The quarterbacks are getting a jump on re-acclimating to the practice field and getting some live reps in 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 sessions versus an all-rookie defense. Winston has naturally been immersed in learning new head coach Bruce Arians' offense all offseason, and the club will have plenty of scrutiny regarding his grasp of the system, beginning with Friday afternoon's opening training camp practice.

Fitzgerald (hamstring) will begin training camp on the Active/Non-Football Injury list, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Fitzgerald carries a bit more intrigue than the standard undrafted rookie quarterback. There's been talk this offseason of deploying him in a manner similar to versatile signal-callers like Joe Webb and Taysom Hill, who have also seen time on special teams and as both ball carriers and pass catchers during their respective NFL tenures. Fitzgerald's 6-foot-5 frame may ultimately help him carve out a spot on special teams in particular, and, by extension, the final roster. However, the Mississippi State product will apparently have to wait at least a short time before getting the chance to start making his case in camp.

Jones officially signed his four-year, $25.6 million rookie contract with the Giants on Monday.

Jones' rookie contract includes a $16.7 million signing bonus. New York's hopeful starter for the future wasted no time getting signed after agreeing to terms with the Giants. He'll join the rest of the team's rookie class in taking the practice field Tuesday. The 22-year-old is expected to begin the 2019 season as the top backup to Eli Manning, allowing the Giants' coaching staff to take their time grooming Jones to eventually take over under center.

The Giants and Jones have come to terms on his rookie contract Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The agreed upon terms include Jones receiving his entire signing bonus Year 1, according to Rapoport. The No. 6 overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft will take the field Tuesday alongside the rest of the Giants' rookie class, at which point he'll officially sign his contract. Jones took the majority of available backup reps during OTAs and will continue being mentored by longtime starter Eli Manning when training camp kicks off.
