Wilson (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

After five straight weeks serving as the Steelers' emergency No. 3 quarterback, Wilson -- who practiced fully this past week -- has been deemed active Sunday, which sets the stage for him to work as the team's No. 2 signal caller behind Justin Fields, who has led the team to a 3-2 record to date. With Wilson not among the team's inactives versus Las Vegas, Kyle Allen is this week's inactive emergency No. 3 QB for Pittsburgh.

Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Chargers.

Wilson remains the team's No. 3 option at quarterback behind starter Bo Nix and backup Jarrett Stidham. Although, as he has been doing this season, the BYU product will suit up and operate as the team's emergency quarterback, which will allow him to enter the game if Nix and Stidham were to get injured.

Lawrence completed 23 of 35 passes for 234 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Jaguars' 35-16 loss to the Bears on Sunday in London. He also rushed four times for 17 yards.

Lawrence's final line was serviceable from a fantasy perspective as he generated his third straight two-touchdown-pass tally by connecting with Gabe Davis for scoring tosses of 21 and five yards. However, there were still too many stalled drives for the Jaguars, who punted on three consecutive first-half possessions following an opening-drive field goal. Lawrence did lead two long second-half marches that culminated in his touchdown strikes to Davis, but both came with Jacksonville facing a double-digit deficit. Lawrence's interception came in Jaguars territory as well and led to a Chicago touchdown, making it a lackluster real-world performance for the inconsistent 2021 first overall pick. He and the Jaguars will remain overseas for a Week 7 matchup against the Patriots at Wembley Stadium.

Williams completed 23 of 29 passes for 226 yards with four touchdowns and one interception in the Bears' 35-16 win over the Jaguars on Sunday in London. He also rushed four times for 56 yards.

Williams turned in his most efficient showing as a pro yet across the pond, completing a career-high 79.3 percent of his passes while connecting with seven targets. He struck early and often, hitting Cole Kmet from 31 and two yards out in the second quarter for his first pair of scoring tosses before doing the same with Keenan Allen in the second half on passes of nine and three yards. After a lackluster start to his highly anticipated NFL career, Williams has now posted a 9:2 TD:INT over his last four games while clearing 300 yards in a pair of those contests. The rookie first overall pick and his teammates will next face the Commanders on the road in a Week 8 road matchup following a Week 7 bye.

The Saints expect Rattler to start for up to the next four games while Derek Carr (oblique) is out, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday.

Earlier the Saints suggested that Carr was a week-to-week proposition, so this report just gives a little more clarity to that timeframe.

Richardson (oblique) is inactive as the Colts' emergency third quarterback for Sunday's game at Tennessee.

Richardson will miss a second straight game due to the oblique injury, but the Colts seem to be holding him out due to an abundance of caution. Per Aditi Kinkhabwala of CBS Sports, head coach Shane Steichen said Richardson was "very close" to playing, but the Colts want the young signal-caller to get in some more practice reps before clearing him to play. Richardson should have a good chance at starting in next Sunday's game against the Dolphins if he can steer clear of any setbacks during the upcoming week of practice, but veteran Joe Flacco will receive a second straight start this weekend.

Richardson (oblique) will be inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans as the emergency No. 3 quarterback while Joe Flacco receives a second straight start, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Richardson sat out the Colts' Week 5 loss to the Jaguars with the oblique injury, but reports leading up to Sunday's contest suggested that the second-year quarterback -- who had been listed as questionable -- was on track to start Week 6 after turning in a pair of limited practices as well as a full session this week. However, with Richardson not yet 100 percent healthy, the Colts will err on the side of caution and hold him out for a second straight week while Flacco starts and Sam Ehlinger serves as his top backup. A source told Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports that Richardson would be available to play if the Colts were playing a playoff game, a sign that the 22-year-old will likely be back in the lineup next Sunday against the Dolphins if he avoids any setbacks during the upcoming week.

Flacco will start Sunday's game against the Titans, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Anthony Richardson (oblique) had been listed as questionable for Sunday's contest, and though reports leading up to the contest suggested he would be on track to start, he'll ultimately be inactive as the emergency No. 3 quarterback while the Colts give him another week off to heal up. Flacco is thus in line for a second straight start after he completed 33 of 44 attempts for 359 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in last week's loss to the Jaguars. With Flacco under center, the fantasy outlooks for most of the Colts' key pass catchers should increase, and running backs Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson could see their projections improve without Richardson around to poach carries.

Richardson (oblique) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Titans, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.

After sitting out the Colts' Week 5 loss to the Jaguars with an oblique strain, Richardson sandwiched a pair of limited practices around a full session Thursday. The Colts seem to have been encouraged enough with how the young quarterback fared during the three practices, and though he'll still take a designation into game day, he's expected to be cleared when Indianapolis releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Richardson should also have the services of two of his top pass-catching options, as wideouts Michael Pittman (back) and Josh Downs (toe) are both listed as questionable but have good chances of suiting up, per Stephen Holder of ESPN.com. Joe Flacco, who has taken over as Indianapolis' signal-caller in Richardson's absence, will likely return to a backup role if Richardson is indeed able to start Sunday.

Rodgers (ankle) does not carry an injury designation for Monday's game against the Bills, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

There really never seemed to be any risk Rodgers would miss the primetime contest, especially after the shake-up to the coaching staff following the firing of head coach Robert Saleh. The Jets also replaced offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett with Todd Downing, who will be taking over play-calling duties for the dysfunctional offense. As a result, it's fair to assume the offense and Rodgers could look better, even if it's only a week, given the changes in New York.
