Head coach Pete Carroll said after Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Giants that Smith has a high-ankle sprain, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Smith exited in the second half due to an ankle injury, which has since been determined to be a high-ankle sprain. Such injuries typically recover multiple weeks to recover from, so Smith is unlikely to be available for the regular-season finale against the Chiefs. Kenny Pickett would be in line to start in Week 18 if Smith is unavailable. The Raiders would secure the first overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft with a loss to Kansas City.

Smith (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Giants.

Smith was initially listed as questionable after injuring his ankle early in the fourth quarter, but he's now been ruled out with under two minutes remaining in Sunday's contest and Las Vegas down 34-10. If Smith's ankle injury impacts his availability for the Raiders' regular-season finale against Kansas City in Week 18, Kenny Pickett will stand to close out the team's 2025 campaign under center.

Rivers completed 17 of 30 passes for 147 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Jaguars.

Rivers drew his third consecutive start and faced a tough Jacksonville defense. He managed to complete six passes that went for double-digit yardage and also chipped in a five-yard touchdown completion to Mo Alie-Cox. However, Rivers ultimately averaged only 4.9 yards per attempt while also throwing a costly pick midway through the fourth quarter that ultimately played a big part in the team's loss. With the Colts eliminated from playoff contention, it's unclear if Rivers will start in Week 18 against the Texans.

Cook completed 19 of 33 passes for 152 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 42-10 loss to the Patriots. He also rushed twice for one yard.

Cook saw his career TD:INT drop to 1:7 through four regular-season appearances (three starts). The undrafted rookie has looked overmatched at the NFL level, but the 3-13 Jets will likely give Cook one more chance to start in Week 18 against the Bills before reassessing their quarterback room in the offseason. The Jets' only touchdown in the lopsided loss to New England came on a 59-yard run by Breece Hall (knee) in the fourth quarter.

Smith (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Giants, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Smith limped off the field under his own power in the fourth quarter with the Raiders already down 27-10. If Smith is unable to return Sunday, Kenny Pickett will pilot Las Vegas' offense as the team attempts to orchestrate an unlikely comeback. Smith completed 20 of 28 pass attempts for 176 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions before his departure.

Young completed 14 of 24 passes for 54 yards and an interception in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Seahawks. He added 27 rushing yards and a touchdown on nine carries.

The third-year QB was completely flummoxed through the air by the Seattle defense, setting a season low for passing yards, but Young salvaged some fantasy value with a 10-yard TD dash in the fourth quarter. Young will take a 21:10 TD:INT on the year, plus two rushing scores, into a Week 18 clash with the Buccaneers, with the NFC South title and a playoff spot on the line with a Carolina win. Note that the Panthers can also win the division if the Falcons win their next two games, no matter what Carolina does in the finale.

Smith (lower body) was forced out of Sunday's contest against the Giants in the fourth quarter and walked to the locker room under his own power, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.

Smith left Sunday's contest with the Raiders already down 27-10. The veteran quarterback completed 20 of 28 pass attempts for 176 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions before being forced off the field. Kenny Pickett will line up under center for Las Vegas as long as Smith remains sidelined.

Ward completed 21 of 40 passes for 251 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing twice for 10 yards in the Titans' 34-26 loss to the Saints on Sunday. He also committed two fumbles, losing one.

Ward and the Titans came out on the losing end yet again, but the rookie first overall pick crossed the 250-yard mark through the air for the fifth time in his nascent career while also throwing a pair of touchdown passes for the fourth straight contest. Ward has thrown just a single interception in that span and none in the last three games, although his late first-half fumble Sunday was returned 33 yards for a touchdown by Chase Young. Ward's scoring strikes went to Chig Okonkwo (43 yards) and Elic Ayomanor (seven yards) in the second quarter, and he'll aim to keep his connection with his two talented targets going in a Week 18 road matchup against the Jaguars.

Sanders completed 17 of 23 passes for 186 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Steelers. He added four rushes for 20 yards.

Sanders was sharp early, completing five of seven passes for 101 yards and a touchdown across Cleveland's first two possessions. He couldn't get much going from there and threw a pair of costly picks on ill-advised throws, but the Steelers were unable to take advantage. Overall, it wasn't a particularly encouraging performance, but Sanders did show the ability to play on time during the Browns' scripted plays and likely endured some additional struggles due to the early departure of Harold Fannin (groin).

Darnold completed 18 of 27 passes for 147 yards and one touchdown with one interception in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Panthers. He added two rushing yards on three carries and lost one of two fumbles.

The passing yardage total was his second lowest of the season, but the Seahawks defense made sure that Darnold didn't need to produce too much offense. The 28-year-old QB did hit AJ Barner for a 17-yard score in the third quarter, giving Darnold 25 TD passes on the season -- the second straight year he's reached that mark -- and he needs just 150 passing yards to reach 4,000 for the second straight campaign. With Seattle potentially needing a win in Week 18 to secure the No. 1 seed in the NFC and a first-round bye in the playoffs, Darnold should be under center for the regular-season finale against the 49ers.
