Jackson (ankle) was seen wearing a walking boot on his left foot after Sunday's 24-18 victory against the Titans, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Jackson didn't play after halftime in Week 4 after he was sacked late in the second quarter, but what a first half it was: 222 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions on 15-for-20 passing and two rushes for 20 yards. Backup QB Tyler Huntley handled the entire second half, completing eight of nine passes for 63 yards and turning four carries into 16 yards. Head coach Jesse Minter expressed optimism about Jackson's health concern afterward, telling Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com that the team considered allowing its No. 1 signal-caller to return to action. Ultimately, Minter and company opted against it, and Jackson's status now will be monitored in the coming days to see if he may be in danger of missing any more time.

Stafford completed 32 of 51 passes for 317 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Eagles. He also rushed three times for 10 yards.

Stafford was picked off twice in the first half as the Rams took a 20-10 deficit into the locker room. The veteran QB didn't throw a touchdown pass in the return of top target Puka Nacua (hip) from a two-game absence, but Stafford led a pair of fourth-quarter touchdown drives culminating in Kyren Williams rushing scores as the Rams produced 14 unanswered points in the final four minutes to improve to 2-2. Stafford takes an underwhelming 6:6 TD:INT into a Week 5 home game against the Bills.

Burrow completed 39 of 54 passes for 428 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions while rushing three times for six yards and another score in the Bengals' 22-17 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Cincinnati.

Burrow's passing yardage total was made all the more noteworthy by the fact he lost Ja'Marr Chase to a concussion in the first half. The prolific 2020 first-round pick put up new season highs in completions, pass attempts and passing yards, while also generating his first multi-interception tally of the campaign. The first of Burrow's picks came right after the two-minute warning in the first half at the Jaguars' 37-yard line and led to a Jacksonville touchdown. Nevertheless, he continued to battle as the Bengals trailed throughout the rest of the contest, and despite also losing Tee Higgins to an adductor injury with just under six minutes remaining, Burrow drove Cincinnati all the way down to the Jags' nine-yard line before losing the ball on downs with 56 seconds remaining. Prior to that point, Burrow had put his team in position for a potential game-winning touchdown via a 15-yard scoring toss to Mike Gesicki in the third quarter and a one-yard QB sneak with just over three minutes remaining for his first rushing score of the season. Burrow and the Bengals will look to regroup and get Chase and Higgins back for a Week 5 road matchup against the Dolphins next Sunday.

Head coach Jesse Minter said after Sunday's 24-18 win versus the the Titans that the Ravens are optimistic about the ankle issue that he suffered in the first half of the game, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

In particular, the team discussed allowing Jackson back into the contest but ultimately opted against it. He put up huge numbers before his exit at halftime, completing 15 of 20 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns and taking two carries for 20 yards. As for Tyler Huntley, who replaced Jackson, he was a crisp 8-for-9 passing for 63 yards while rushing four times for 16 yards. Minter's comments seem to indicate Jackson will be fine for next Sunday's road matchup with the Falcons, but the QB's status will need to be watched this week to ensure as much.

Nussmeier (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the emergency third quarterback against the Raiders on Sunday.

Nussmeier will once again be the Chiefs' emergency QB3, meaning the rookie seventh-rounder is prohibited from playing Sunday unless both Patrick Mahomes and Justin Fields leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Kaliakmanis completed 15 of 33 passes for 186 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Colts. He added 16 yards on three carries.

The 2026 seventh-round pick out of Rutgers began the game as the backup to Marcus Mariota with Jayden Daniels (elbow) still out, but Kaliakmanis quickly got pressed into duty for his first NFL action when Mariota injured his knee on a sack in the first quarter and was unable to return. Kaliakmanis didn't play too badly under the circumstances and took some shots down the field, one of which went for a 47-yard touchdown to Treylon Burks in the third quarter, but his inexperience showed as the deficit grew. Daniels is aiming to return to the lineup in Week 5 at home against the Giants, but Kaliakmanis could find himself back in the No. 2 role depending on the severity of Mariota's injury -- and he might be in line for his first career NFL start if Daniels doesn't get cleared.

Milroe (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Seahawks' emergency third quarterback against the Chargers on Sunday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Because Milroe is the emergency QB3, the second-year pro is now allowed to play Sunday unless both Sam Darnold and Drew Lock leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

O'Connell (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Raiders' emergency third quarterback against the Chiefs on Sunday.

As the emergency QB3, O'Connell is not allowed to play Sunday unless both Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Uiagalelei (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game versus Seattle, though he is listed as the team's emergency quarterback.

Trey Lance (groin) is available to suit up in Week 4, meaning Uiagalelei will be a healthy scratch. However, if Lance and Justin Herbert exit the contest due to injury, illness or ejection, Uiagalelei will serve as the team's emergency signal-caller.

Lance (groin) is active for Sunday's game against Seattle.

Lance was listed as questionable but will shed the tag and suit up in Week 4. With Lance cleared to play, DJ Uiagalelei is inactive, though he will serve as the team's emergency signal-caller if necessary.
