Jackson (back) was a full participant at Thursday's practice.

Jackson missed the beginning of Wednesday's practice due to a back injury, but his full participation Thursday suggests there is nothing to worry about regarding the star QB's health. Heading into Sunday's home game against the 0-3 Titans, Jackson has produced a 4:1 TD:INT with his arm while adding 124 rushing yards and a touchdown with his legs to guide the Ravens to a 2-1 record.

Williams (hamstring) remained a non-participant at practice Thursday.

Williams didn't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough, and he unsurprisingly remained sidelined Thursday when the Bears held a full practice. The 2024 first overall pick is expected to miss a second consecutive game Sunday against the Jets due to a Grade 2 right hamstring strain, which typically carries a multi-week recovery timeline. Chicago has yet to announce a starter for Sunday's game, with Tyson Bagent and Week 3 starter Case Keenum both in the running.

Daniels (elbow) remained limited at practice Thursday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Daniels has been limited both Wednesday and Thursday as the Commanders prepare to face the Colts in London on Sunday. The 2024 second overall pick said he believes he will be able to play through the injury to his non-throwing elbow while wearing a brace, though surgery could be an option after the season. Marcus Mariota, who led the Commanders to a Week 3 upset win over the Seahawks in Daniels' absence, remains in the mix to start against the Colts as well.

Jackson (back) is participating at the start of Thursday's practice, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore Sports Radio reports.

Jackson was deemed a limited participant Wednesday, when he missed the early part of practice before joining teammates later in the session. The star quarterback's presence at the start of Thursday's practice suggests Jackson is in position to log a full session Thursday, though confirmation on that front won't come until after the Ravens wrap up their practice. There has been on indication that Jackson's status for Sunday's home game against the Titans is in any doubt.

The Giants signed Haener to their practice squad Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Haener began the season with the Giants' practice squad before being signed to the active roster last week, only to subsequently be waived following the team's trade for J.J. McCarthy on Monday. Haener will likely continue to serve as the emergency third-string quarterback behind Jameis Winston and McCarthy.

Maye was listed with a right shoulder injury on the Patriots' initial Week 4 practice report but was a full participant.

Though he took every rep Wednesday and is on track to start Sunday's game in Buffalo, the lingering shoulder injury could at least partially explain Maye's rough start to the season. After finishing as the runner-up to the Rams' Matthew Stafford in the MVP balloting in 2025, Maye has been an early disappointment for fantasy managers, completing 63.7 percent of his passes for 585 yards while posting a 1:6 TD:INT and losing a fumble through the Patriots' first three games. A road game against the undefeated Bills doesn't exactly represent a great bounce-back opportunity for Maye, who will face pressure from a Bills pass rush led by NFL sack leader Greg Rousseau.

Allen (knee) wasn't even listed on Wednesday's injury report.

Allen played every snap in last Sunday's win over the Chargers but took a shot to his knee late in the contest, causing some concern on social media. He's all good for Sunday's AFC East tilt with the reeling Patriots, who just got blown out in Jacksonville last Sunday. Fantasy's QB1 through three weeks, Allen is coming off a down Week 3 versus Los Angeles but still has a 13-point fantasy lead on overall QB2 Brock Purdy.

O'Connell (personal) is not practicing Wednesday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Coach Klint Kubiak said O'Connell is expected back with the team later in the week. The Raiders' QB3, O'Connell is planted behind Kirk Cousins and rookie No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza on the depth chart.

Dart recently underwent surgery to repair the meniscus and MCL in his left knee, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Dart's ACL and PCL were apparently spared, but the quarterback remains done for the 2026 regular season after he was injured in the first quarter of Week 2 against the Rams. It's unclear if Dart could make a postseason return if the Giants are able to make it that far. Jameis Winston and newly acquired J.J. McCarthy will handle quarterback duties moving forward this season.

Jackson was listed as limited Wednesday due to a back injury, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

According to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, Jackson wasn't on the field early in Wednesday's practice but later joined his teammates. Coach Jesse Minter downplayed the issue after practice, and now it's official that Jackson is dealing with a back issue. Jackson's status for Sunday doesn't appear to be in jeopardy at this stage, but this will be one to monitor going into the weekend.
