Wilson has a sprained ankle, but coach Pete Carroll said it is "nothing very serious," and he is expected to play Week 2 against the Rams, ESPN's Sheil Kapadia reports.

Carroll said X-rays and tests did not show any structural damage, but that it might be tough for Wilson to practice this week because of swelling. The Seahawks could bring in a veteran quarterback this week, as rookie Trevone Boykin, who had a mediocre preseason, is the backup. "He's got a sprained ankle, a little bit of swelling and he'll make it through," Carroll said. "How could you think otherwise?"

Wilson's sprained ankle could impact his availability during practice this week, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports.

Wilson tweaked his ankle after accidentally being stepped on by Ndamukong Suh during the second half of Sunday's narrow win over the Dolphins. Although he didn't miss any plays due to the ailment, he was seen sporting heavy tape on his ankle and was noticeably less mobile following the incident. According to Rapoport, Wilson's availability could be impacted by the injury, so it'll be worth monitoring his practice involvement level this week to get a better read on his situation ahead of next Sunday's game versus the Rams. Regardless, it wouldn't be surprising if the Seahawks signed a veteran quarterback this week, as rookie Trevone Boykin represents their lone backup for Wilson at the moment.

Rodgers completed 20 of 34 passes for 199 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Jaguars. He added another 16 yards and a touchdown via four carries.

Rodgers and company failed to generate big plays Sunday, making just two plays of over 22 yards, but they committed no turnovers and capitalized on field position to grind out a road win versus an improved Jags team. Rodgers notably connected with Jordy Nelson in the end zone and scored on a six-yard scramble in the first quarter-- two things that have helped him establish an extremely stable floor for production in recent seasons. He will look to build on a strong start next week versus Minnesota.

Carr completed 24 of 38 passes for 319 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's come-from-behind win over the Saints. He also added 16 yards on a pair of carries.

Carr was excellent Sunday, making up for a relatively slow start by leading three scoring drives in the fourth quarter, culminating in a beautiful fade to Michael Crabtree for the two-point conversion that ultimately decided the game. Carr enjoyed a breakout season in 2015, and Sunday's poise under pressure indicates that the third-year signal-caller continues to improve. With an excellent road victory already under his belt, Carr will set his sights on next week's home opener versus Atlanta.

Garoppolo completed 24 of 33 passes for 264 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Cardinals.

Garoppolo mostly settled for short gains after producing 10 points on his first two drives, but he did remain accurate throughout the night and kept the ball moving. As a bonus for owners in PPR leagues, he caught one of his own deflected passes for a three-yard gain, also adding 12 yards on four carries, though he did lose a fumble. With Rob Gronkowski (hamstring) unavailable for a road matchup against a tough defense, six Patriots had between four and seven targets, and LeGarrette Blount got 22 carries. Garoppolo's remaining three starts will all come at home, beginning with a Week 2 matchup against a Dolphins team that nearly pulled off an upset in Seattle on Sunday.

Stafford completed 31-of-39 pass attempts for 340 yards and three touchdowns in the Lions' 39-35 victory over the Colts. He also added five yards on the ground across two rushing attempts.

Not only did Stafford pick apart Indianapolis' injury-marred secondary for his highest yardage total since Week 6 of 2015, along the way he passed both Peyton Manning and Kurt Warner to reach second in NFL history for most passing yards by a quarterback in his first 100 games played. More impressive, though, was Stafford's composure in the fourth quarter. After Detroit managed to blow a 21-3 lead, they eventually found themselves trailing the Colts 34-35 thanks to a missed extra point by Lions K Matt Prater following the team's fifth score. However, down one with 37 seconds left in regulation, Stafford demonstrated great poise by completing three passes to three different receivers and setting Prater up for the game-winning field goal. Overall, Stafford continues to look comfortable and efficient in OC Jim Bob Cooter's newly-designed, Calvin Johnson-less offensive scheme that appeared on Sunday to revolve around getting everyone involved in the passing game, as five players each garnered at least four receptions, but none topped the team-high of seven. Up next is Detroit's home-opener against a Titans team that held Vikings QB Shaun Hill to 54.5 percent passing and zero touchdowns Week 1.

Prescott completed 25 of 45 pass attempts for 227 yards without a touchdown in Sunday's 20-19 loss to the Giants. He didn't turn the ball over, and finished with 12 rushing yards on two carries.

Prescott seemed to have a touchdown pass to Dez Bryant in the second quarter, but the play was overturned, as Bryant bobbled the ball at bit while in the back of the end zone. While fantasy owners are surely disappointed by Prescott's final stat line, he showed poise and made some nice throws, primarily using Jason Witten and Cole Beasley. The rookie QB actually had the Cowboys in a position to potentially kick the game-winning field goal in the closing seconds, but Terrance Williams failed to get out of bounds on the Giants' side of the field. Next week, he'll face another divisional foe in Washington.

Wilson completed 27 of 43 passes for 258 yards, one touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 12-10 win against Miami. He also lost a fumble and ran four times for 16 yards.

It was a struggle for Wilson for most of the game, and to make matters worse, he seemed to hurt his ankle at one point in the second half. He didn't miss any action though, and ultimately tossed a two-yard touchdown pass to Doug Baldwin with 35 seconds left to win the game. The 43 pass attempts were a career high for Wilson, who surprisingly had a tough time moving the ball. Assuming his ankle injury is not a big deal, he'll look to improve next week against the Rams.

Tannehill completed 16 of 29 passes for 186 yards with no touchdowns in Sunday's 12-10 loss at Seattle. He did rush five times for 17 yards and a touchdown.

Tannehill didn't look sharp for most of the game, as Miami had just three points through the first 45 minutes. He was able to make some key plays late in the fourth quarter, including a short touchdown run that gave the Dolphins a 10-6 lead. The Seahawks scored with just 35 seconds left, however, and Tannehill couldn't do anything on the team's final possession. The young signal caller could have had a much bigger game, but Kenny Stills dropped a long touchdown pass in the first half. It probably won't get a lot easier next week at New England, which will be making its home debut.

Mariota completed 25 of 41 passes for 271 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's season-opening loss to the Vikings. He added four carries for 19 yards, but also lost a fumble.

Mariota spread the ball around beautifully, hitting seven different receivers to reach the fourth-highest passing yardage total of his career. Both of the second-year quarterback's turnovers were returned for touchdowns, showing that he still needs to work on taking care of the ball after throwing 10 interceptions and losing six of 10 fumbles in 12 games as a rookie. Twenty of his 25 completions came to players who weren't on the Titans roster last season, showing that the team's offseason additions have raised the passing game's ceiling.
