Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters Monday that Sanders is still dealing with a back injury but is getting better, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

The rookie quarterback was inactive for the Browns' Week 8 loss to the Patriots due to a back issue, and it now appears he's still dealing with the injury coming out of the Week 9 bye. Sanders' practice participation throughout the week will likely offer the best indication of his availability for the Week 10 matchup against the Jets. If active, the Colorado product is expected to serve as the primary backup to fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel.

Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Watson (Achilles) won't have his 21-day practice window opened this week, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Stefanski noted that he had no update on the status of Watson, though the lack of new information isn't necessarily a sign that the quarterback has experienced any sort of setback. Watson was always expected to be in line for a lengthy rehab process from the right Achilles tendon tear he sustained last October and then subsequently re-ruptured, which required a second surgery Jan. 9. Once Watson completes his rehab and advances to the point in his recovery that he's ready to practice, the Browns should have a better idea regarding whether the veteran signal-caller has a realistic chance at playing in games late in the 2025 season.

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Monday that Taylor (knee) will resume practicing this week, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

After the Jets fell to 0-7 following a 13-6 loss to the Panthers on Oct. 19, all signs seemed to point to Taylor displacing the struggling Justin Fields as the team's starting quarterback. However, Taylor picked up a knee injury at some point during his appearance in relief of Fields in the loss to Carolina, and Taylor ended up being a limited participant throughout Week 8 prep before being ruled out ahead of the Jets' matchup with the Bengals. Fields continued to direct the offense and turned in one of his best performances of the season en route to leading the Jets to a come-from-behind 39-38 victory over Cincinnati, but Glenn remains non-committal on a starting quarterback coming out of the team's Week 9 bye. Fields' stellar outing might be enough to give him the early edge on the starting nod for Sunday's game against the Browns, even though Taylor looks like he could be back to full health. The Jets' first Week 10 practice report will be posted Wednesday and reveal whether Taylor remains limited or has upgraded to full activity.

Mariota is slated to start at quarterback for the Commanders in Week 10 against the Lions with Jayden Daniels having sustaining a dislocated left elbow in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Mariota came on in relief with 7:39 remaining in the fourth quarter and handed off on all seven of his snaps as the Commanders ran out the clock in a blowout loss. Though a recovery timeline for Daniels won't be established until he undergoes an MRI on Monday, the injury to his non-throwing elbow appears likely to result in him landing on injured reserve, and it could cost him the rest of the season. Mariota had previously made three starts in place of Daniels this season. In those contests, Mariota completed 52 of 78 pass attempts (66.6 percent) for 576 yards (7.4 YPA), four touchdowns and three interceptions while adding 88 rushing yards and a touchdown on 16 carries.

Daniels sustained a dislocated left elbow in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks and will be sidelined indefinitely, though the Commanders aren't yet certain whether he'll miss the rest of the season, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Though Washington was trailing by 31 points midway through the fourth quarter, Daniels remained in the game before suffering the gruesome injury to his non-throwing arm when he was sacked for the fourth time in the game at the Seahawks' four-yard line. His elbow bent backward on the tackle, and while head coach Dan Quinn didn't provide an immediate diagnosis for Daniels' injury following the game, early tests have apparently ruled out a fracture. The second-year quarterback is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday to confirm the diagnosis, after which a firmer timeline for his recovery should become clearer. At the very least, Daniels looks destined to miss the Commanders' Week 10 game versus the Lions, and a stint on injured reserve -- and a minimum four-game absence -- looms as a likely outcome. Marcus Mariota replaced Daniels late in Sunday's game and would once again be the next man up at quarterback for Washington, having already filled in when Daniels missed three games earlier this season due to knee and hamstring injuries.

Ward completed 12 of 21 passes for 145 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Chargers. He added two rushes for six yards.

Ward continues to turn in mixed performances, and there were some positive takeaways in Sunday's loss despite his modest stat line. He completed three passes of at least 20 yards and also didn't turn the ball over for the first time this season. Despite those steps forward, Ward still isn't a strong fantasy option, as he has yet to tally multiple touchdowns in a game this season.

Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed that Daniels suffered a left elbow injury in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks, but Quinn didn't have any further updates on Daniels' status, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

Daniels needed a brace to stabilize his left, non-throwing arm after sustaining an injury in the fourth quarter. A more concrete recovery timeline for Daniels will likely be established following additional evaluation of the injury. Marcus Mariota is set to fill in as the starting QB beginning with Week 10 against the Lions.

Mariota did not log a stat after entering Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks late in the fourth quarter.

Mariota entered the blowout loss midway through the fourth quarter after Jayden Daniels suffered what appeared to be a significant left elbow injury. Mariota exclusively handed the ball off after entering the contest, though he'll likely be in line to start for the next handful of games -- if not the rest of the campaign. Across three starts this season, Mariota has a 4:4 TD:INT while averaging 7.4 yards per attempt.

Darnold completed 21 of 24 pass attempts for 330 yards, four touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 38-14 rout of the Commanders.

Darnold used Seattle's bye week to regroup following a rough outing against Houston in Week 8, responding with a dominant four-score performance against Washington. It was the second time this season that the veteran starter registered a quartet of touchdown passes, also accomplishing the feat in a shootout against Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers in Week 5. Outside of an occasional hiccup, Darnold has been posting elite numbers for fantasy managers in 2025, producing over 2,000 passing yards and 16 touchdowns across eight starts with his new club. Darnold should easily check in as a top-10 QB in fantasy for a soft matchup against Arizona next Sunday.

Daniels walked off the field with his left arm in a brace after sustaining an injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Daniels appeared to sustain a significant injury to his left arm at the end of a scramble with the Commanders trailing 38-7 in the fourth quarter. Marcus Mariota will finish out the game in relief, while further evaluation of Daniels' injury will be required before a return timetable is established. Prior to the injury, Daniels completed 16 of 22 passes for 153 yards, no touchdowns and one interception while rushing 10 times for 51 yards and a touchdown.
