Tannehill, who headed to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Patriots with a possible ankle injury, was able to return to the contest.

Brock Osweiler finished up the first half at QB for the Dolphins, but fortunately for the team, Tannehill was able to return to the field at the start the third quarter of Sunday's contest.

Tannehill headed to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Patriots with a possible ankle injury.

Tannehill has been working through a shoulder issue, but the injury that forced him out of Sunday's contest is a new one. Brock Osweiler is now in at QB for the Dolphins.

Darnold returned to Sunday's game against the Bills after initially exiting with a right foot injury, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

Darnold, who is playing for the first time since Week 9, presumably aggravated his sprained foot on the Jets' opening drive. Josh McCown stepped in for the subsequent possession and led the Jets into field-goal range, but it looks like Darnold will be ready to go for the rest of the day after receiving some treatment on the sideline.

Darnold is questionable to return to Sunday's game in Buffalo due to a foot injury.

Darnold missed the Jets' previous three games due to a sprained right foot, so he may have aggravated the injury. While there's a chance he may reenter the contest, he'll yield quarterback duties to veteran Josh McCown for the time being.

Darnold (undisclosed) limped to the locker room during the first quarter of Sunday's game at Buffalo, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

After missing three contests with a sprained right foot, Darnold was cleared to return Sunday, only to last nine minutes before suffering a lower-body injury. It remains to be seen if his right foot is the culprit, but the Jets will confirm the nature of the injury in short order.

Jackson will remain the Ravens' starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

With Joe Flacco (hip) inactive for the fourth straight game, Jackson will retain the starting job for another week, though he likely would have kept his spot atop the depth chart even if Flacco had been healthy enough to play. That said, Jackson would bolster his case for sticking as the Ravens' permanent starting quarterback if he can deliver a quality performance against the 10-2 Chiefs in what will be his first outing versus an opponent with a winning record. Over his prior three starts, Jackson completed just 60 percent of his passes for 7.0 yards per attempt and a 1:3 TD:INT but ripped up the opposition on the ground to the tune of 265 yards and two scores on 54 carries.

Darnold (foot) will return from a three-game absence to start Sunday's game against the Bills, a source told Brian Costello of the New York Post.

Coach Todd Bowles was unwilling to announce a Week 14 starter heading into the weekend, but there was never much doubt Darnold would be back under center after he practiced fully Wednesday through Friday. With the report now corroborating the prevailing belief that Darnold will start, those relying on the rookie in two-quarterback leagues can insert him into lineups without any reservations. That said, Darnold hasn't offered much to excited about from a performance standpoint this season, as he's completed just 55 percent of his passes for 6.7 yards per attempt, 11 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Don't expect his efficiency numbers to take a major turn for the better while he faces a Bills pass defense that has limited the opposition to 5.9 yards per attempt (second in NFL) and a 63.8 percent completion rate (11th) this season.

Stafford (back), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, is expected to play, a source tells Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

With 124 consecutive starts under his belt, Stafford is about as durable as they come at quarterback, so his status never looked to be in serious peril even after the back issue limited his participation in practice throughout the week. While he'll be less 100 percent healthy if he suits up, the greater concern for Stafford may be the lack of playmakers surrounding him on offense. For the third straight game, the Lions will be without the services of both top running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) and top receiver Marvin Jones (knee, out for season). Those absences have undoubtedly contributed to Stafford's underwhelming stat line over the past two weeks, during which he's completed 67.6 percent of his passes for 481 yards (6.8 per attempt) and a 1:3 TD:INT.

Walker signed with Indianapolis' practice squad Friday.

Walker now begins his fifth stint with the Colts' practice squad. The 23-year-old quarterback will serve as an emergency option behind starter Andrew Luck and backup Jacoby Brissett.

Stafford (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest in Arizona.

Although Stafford was limited in practice all week, he ranks second among active offensive players in consecutive starts with 124, so he has a streak to uphold. Assuming he's active this weekend, he'll be facing a tough Cardinals defense that is fifth against the pass (220.4 yards per game) and has allowed the third-fewest scores (16) to quarterbacks in 12 contests this season.
