Lawrence completed 18 of 25 passes for 221 yards with one touchdown and one interception while adding 10 carries for 54 yards and two more scores in the Jaguars' 31-28 win over the Chiefs on Monday night. He also lost a fumble.

Lawrence put the Jaguars on his shoulders for the majority of the night despite a critical early second-quarter fumble at Kansas City's one-yard line, helping spearhead a comeback from an early 14-0 deficit with a three-yard touchdown pass to Parker Washington and the first of two rushing scores to knot the game back up just before the halfway point of the third quarter. Lawrence then saved his best for the most important part of the contest, leading a seven-play, 60-yard game-winning march that he capped off with an eventful one-yard touchdown run that began with him stumbling twice due to having his foot stepped on by an offensive lineman as he dropped back. Lawrence still is a work in progress in head coach Liam Coen's offense, but he completed a season-best 72.0 percent of his passes Monday night ahead of a Week 6 home matchup against a Seahawks defense that allowed the Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield to complete 29 of 33 passes for 379 yards and two TDs in Seattle's Week 5 loss.

Mahomes completed 29 of 41 pass attempts for 318 yards, one touchdown and one interception while taking six carries for 60 yards and another score in Monday's 31-28 loss to the Jaguars.

The highlight that will make the rounds for Mahomes following Monday's game will unfortunately be the interception he threw at the Jaguars' one-yard line that LB Devin Lloyd returned 99 yards the other way for a touchdown. The Chiefs' signal-caller had a strong fantasy night aside from his blunder in the third quarter, eclipsing the 300-yard mark as a passer for the first time this season. Mahomes also finished as Kansas City's leading rusher while scoring his third touchdown on the ground in five starts, just one shy of his career-best mark of four set back in 2022. The 29-year-old will have to move past Monday's sloppy loss in order to prepare for another primetime showdown Week 6 when the Chiefs host the Lions on Sunday Night Football.

Huntley reverted to Baltimore's practice squad Monday.

Huntley was elevated to the active roster to back up Cooper Rush in the absence of Lamar Jackson (hamstring) for Sunday's loss to the Texans. He was active but did not take any snaps.

Coach Jonathan Gannon said Monday that the Cardinals will "see how the week goes" after Murray emerged from Sunday's 22-21 loss to the Titans with a foot injury, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports.

Murray missed three offensive snaps in the third quarter of Sunday's game due to a listed foot injury, but he was able to return and finished with 220 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions on 23-for-31 passing, four carries for 25 yards and a TD and a lost fumble. It marked the first time in five contests this season in which he didn't toss for a touchdown, and he now has four turnovers (three INTs and the fumble) on the campaign. The Cardinals will kick off preparations for Sunday's road matchup with the Colts on Wednesday, at which point Murray's status for Week 6 may begin to come into focus.

Coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that Wentz's left shoulder injury will be further evaluated this week, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Wentz briefly left Sunday's game against the Browns in London and went to the locker room early just before halftime, but he was under center after the break and was able to finish the contest. The injury was to his left, non-throwing shoulder. With J.J. McCarthy (ankle) likely to return to practice at some point following the Vikings' upcoming Week 6 bye, McCarthy could be back under center Week 7 against the Eagles.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor was non-committal Monday when asked whether Browning would start Sunday's game against the Packers, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Browning has performed poorly in three starts since Joe Burrow was sent to injured reserve with a toe injury. After completing 33 of 52 pass attempts (63.5 percent) for 265 yards (5.1 YPA), one touchdown and two interception in losses to the Vikings and Broncos in Weeks 3 and 4, respectively, Browning bottomed out in the Bengals' 37-24 loss to the Lions on Sunday, throwing three more picks. Unless the Bengals elect to look outside the organization for a potential change at quarterback heading into Week 6, the other options beyond Browning would be backup Brett Rypien and practice-squad members Mike White and Sean Clifford.

Dart (hamstring) was estimated as a limited participant on Monday's practice report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

The Giants didn't actually practice but were required to release an estimation ahead of Thursday night's game against the Eagles. Dart dealt with the hamstring issue in practice last week but was able to play Sunday against the Saints. He should be under center for Thursday night's divisional tilt.

Richardson was 1-for-2 passing for nine yards, catching his own pass when deflected by the defensive line, in Sunday's win over Las Vegas. He played seven snaps late in the blowout victory.

Richardson has been relegated to a true backup with Daniel Jones playing well as the starter. There was some thought early in the season that Richardson could be used on short-yardage and goal-line plays, but Jones has been strong in those situations as well.

Browning completed 26 of 40 passes for 251 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions in Sunday's 37-24 loss to the Lions. He added four rushes for 31 yards.

Browning's final line looks relatively positive, but he threw three interceptions by early in the third quarter that led directly to 14 points for the Lions. He salvaged his performance late in the contest with the help of heroics from Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, connecting with the duo for scores of 15, 64 and two yards. To add a final insult to the day, Browning was sacked for a safety to conclude the Bengals' final possession. While he looked to be one of the better backups in the league for the final seven games of 2023, Browning has six touchdowns as compared to eight interceptions while averaging only 6.1 yards per attempt in four games this season.

Ward completed 21 of 39 passes for 265 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 22-21 win over the Cardinals. He also had five rushes for minus-six yards.

Ward had an abysmal performance for nearly the entire game, as he went only 5-for-16 for 58 yards through two quarters. He also threw an interception late in the fourth quarter that seemingly put an end to any comeback attempt for the Titans, only to have Dadrion Taylor-Demerson fumble the ball into the end zone for a touchdown for Tennessee. It wasn't all bad news for Ward, as he connected on deep passes of 47 and 38 yards with Calvin Ridley as key parts of the Titans' rally -- his longest completions as a pro. While it's positive that Ward was able to earn his first win in the NFL, his performance still left plenty to be desired, and he has at least one turnover in all five of his career starts.
