Allen (elbow) threw again Monday, and afterwards coach Sean McDermott said, "We're going to take it day to day at this point in terms of his availability for this week," Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

McDermott won't make any promises about Allen's status for Sunday's game against the Jets, but he's leaving open the possibility while also noting that the team gets a bye in Week 11 should it choose to be extra cautious. Either way, it looks like the Bills will get their potential franchise quarterback back in one of the next two games. While he's struggled at times in his first campaign, Allen has already proven to be a vastly better option than Derek Anderson (concussion) or Nathan Peterman.

Hackenberg was released from the Bengal's practice squad Monday.

Hackenberg joined Cincinnati's practice squad during the beginning of the 2018 regular season, but was ultimately unable to stick with the unit. The 2016 second-round pick will look to earn a depth role elsewhere in the league.

Coach Sean McDermott said Peterman will only get another start if both Josh Allen (shoulder) and Derek Anderson (concussion) are unavailable, Mike Rodak of ESPN.com reports.

Peterman tossed three interceptions during Sunday's 41-9 loss to the Bears, bringing his total to 12 picks on 130 career pass attempts. If nothing else, the Bills should have a decent chance to get Anderson through the concussion protocol in time for a Week 10 game against the Jets. There's really no reason to give Peterman another start, even if it means turning to recent addition Matt Barkley.

Coach John Harbaugh suggested he isn't yet thinking about starting Jackson over Joe Flacco, though Harbaugh did say he still views the rookie as a quarterback in the long run, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Jackson got some snaps at quarterback in the second half of blowouts Weeks 1 and 8, but he's otherwise been used as a gadget player with Flacco on the field at the same time. A three-game losing streak has led to some rumbling as the Ravens enter a bye week, perhaps speeding up the timeline for Jackson to get a real look under center. That being said, the Ravens don't seem ready for such a drastic change, as Flacco is still on track for his best season since 2014. It would be hard to make an argument against starting Jackson if the team eventually falls out of the playoff race -- something that could essentially happen as soon as Week 11 with a loss to the Bengals.

Coach Adam Gase admitted he isn't sure if Tannehill (shoulder) will be ready to return after a Week 11 bye, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

Gase is essentially acknowledging Brock Osweiler will get the nod Wednesday when the team names its starter for Week 10 in Green Bay. The hope was to get Tannehill back after a bye the following week, but it doesn't seem like something that should be counted on. Gase said the 30-year-old quarterback has been inconsistent in his throwing sessions, with discomfort still present in his shoulder. Tannehill was initially reported to be dealing with an AC joint sprain, but it turns out he has a less commonly seen injury to the capsule that surrounds the joint and rotator cuff in his shoulder.

Jackson completed his lone pass attempt for 12 yards and added five carries for 10 yards Sunday against the Steelers.

For the second straight week, Jackson played double-digit snaps. Unlike Week 8 against the Panthers, Jackson's inclusion in the offense came when the game was still undecided rather than late in the fourth quarter with the result already determined. Jackson's most notable play came when he floated out into the flat and looked to be wide open for a touchdown, but quarterback Joe Flacco didn't see him and instead looked for a receiver in the back of the end zone. Baltimore has now lost three straight going into its bye week, so it will be interesting to see whether the Ravens adjust their offense to further incorporate Jackson for the second half of the season.

Tannehill (shoulder) isn't likely to return for Week 10 at Green Bay, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

Coach Adam Gase said the announcement won't come until Wednesday, at which point he's expected to name Brock Osweiler as the starting quarterback for a fifth straight week. The Dolphins likely will allow Tannehill to rest through a Week 11 bye, after Gase acknowledged Monday that the quarterback has shown inconsistent progress in his recovery from a shoulder capsule injury, per Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Regardless of the quarterback situation, the Dolphins will be big underdogs in Green Bay for Week 10.

Rodgers completed 24 of 43 pass attempts for 259 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-17 loss to New England.

When a two-touchdown game with over 250 yards is considered a "bad game," it speaks to Rodgers' abilities, but it statistically was his worst showing of the season. The 34-year-old just didn't have his A game, uncharacteristically missing some open targets as the team tried to come back late in the second half. On the positive side, Rodgers and his nagging knee injury appear to be healthier with each week that passes. Expect the star quarterback to bounce back against the Dolphins' 23rd-ranked pass defense Sunday.

Keenum put up 42 pass attempts, completing 26 for 290 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 19-17 loss to Houston.

The wily veteran was once again calm under pressure, leading the Broncos downfield on a 14-play, 53-yard drive in the final three minutes to set up Brandon McManus with a potential game-winning 51-yard attempt (ultimately, he pushed it wide right). Keenum has been highly prone to the interception in 2018, throwing 10 compared to seven all of last year, with six fumbles put on the turf this season (just one in 2017). His QBR has dipped from 74.3 in his lone season as a Viking to 43.6 in his debut campaign in Denver, working with a downgraded offensive line and a receiving corps lacking Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs. On the bright side, Keenum has multiple touchdowns or 290-plus passing yards in four of his past five games. He and the Broncos reconvene Nov. 18 in Los Angeles, taking on a Chargers defense that has forced 10 interceptions through the first half of the regular season.

Goff completed 28 of 40 pass attempts for 391 yards, three touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's 45-35 loss to the Saints. He also carried three times for 17 yards.

Goff completed 70 percent of his passes as he finished with his second-best yardage output of the season. He played from behind for most of the day, but touchdown passes to Brandin Cooks, Malcolm Brown and Cooper Kupp helped the Rams come all the way back to tie the game before the home team won it late. Perhaps most notably, Goff excelled despite Todd Gurley's inability to take control of the game, running his TD:INT to 20:6 on the season. He has the potential to post elite fantasy totals most weeks and will look to do so next Sunday against the Seahawks.
