Jones completed 29 of 40 passes for 281 yards with no touchdowns and one interception and rushed four times for three yards in the Giants' 20-15 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday night.

Jones' passing yardage tally was a season high and certainly served his fantasy managers well, but it was a hollow number from a real-life sense to an extent. The embattled signal-caller focused very heavily on both rookie sensation Malik Nabers (concussion) and Wan'Dale Robinson, with 23 of his completions and 186 of his yards going to the talented duo. Nabers' absence late certainly didn't help Jones on the Giants' last-gasp drive, which culminated in an interception at the Cowboys' four-yard line following two incompletions to open the possession. Jones should have a chance of having Nabers back in the fold for a Week 5 road matchup against the Seahawks on Sunday, Oct. 6.

Prescott completed 22 of 27 passes for 221 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding two carries for minus-1 yard in the Cowboys' 20-15 win over the Giants on Thursday night.

It wasn't the prettiest of wins for the Cowboys, but Prescott was able to play a clean, highly efficient game while taking only one sack. The veteran signal-caller connected with seven different targets, hitting the duo of CeeDee Lamb and Jake Ferguson for seven catches apiece to lead the way. Prescott linked up with Rico Dowdle and Lamb for touchdown passes of 15 and 55 yards, respectively, in the first half, generating his second two-TD tally through the air in the last five days. Prescott and his teammates next gear up for a challenging road interconference clash with the Steelers on Sunday, Oct. 6.

DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive but serving as the Giants' emergency quarterback for Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

As the emergency quarterback, DeVito will only see playing time Thursday if both Daniel Jones and Drew Lock were to sustain injuries that would force them off the field.

Lance (coach's decision) is inactive but available as the emergency third quarterback for Thursday's game against the Giants, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Lance will be the Cowboys' emergency quarterback for a fourth consecutive game. Lance will only be able to play if both Dak Prescott and Cooper Rush sustain injuries that force them to leave the game.

Herbert (ankle) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Herbert, who was also listed as limited Wednesday, previously noted that he is "doing everything he can" to play Sunday against the Chiefs despite having aggravated his high right ankle sprain during Week 3 action, per Kris Rhim of ESPN. With the Chargers on bye in Week 5, Herbert acknowledged Wednesday that the team has had discussions about him possibly sitting out Sunday in order to rest his ankle, but the QB noted he doesn't "think that's the way we're heading." Friday's injury report will add further context regarding Herbert's Week 4 status, but chances are, he'll head into the weekend listed as questionable. Taylor Heinicke would presumably start versus Kansas City in the event Herbert ends up being deemed unavailable for Los Angeles' 4:25 ET contest.

Love (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. "We'll see," head coach Matt LaFleur said, when asked about Love's status for Sunday's game against the Vikings. "We'll give him up to game time."

Love continues to work his way back from the Grade 1-to-2 MCL sprain he sustained in the Sept. 6 loss to the Eagles, and he looks to have a chance at meeting the short end of his projected 3-to-6-week recovery timeline. He's now been listed as a limited participant in six consecutive practices, and while the Packers haven't indicated that Love has experienced any setbacks with his left knee, he may need to turn in a full practice Friday to avoid being viewed as anything more than a game-time call leading up to Sunday. Malik Willis has presided over the Green Bay offense for the last two games and will stay prepared for another start under center this weekend if the Packers' franchise signal-caller isn't cleared to return to the lineup.

Thompson (ribs) will practice in at least a limited capacity Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said he hasn't yet named a starting quarterback for Monday's game against the Titans, and that the rib injury that forced Thompson out of the team's Week 3 loss to the Seahawks could still limit his effectiveness. McDaniel said he's also encouraged by the progress Tyler Huntley has made picking up the offense so far, per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com, and that both he and Tim Boyle will get opportunities in practice to try and command the offense. It sounds like a final decision on the Dolphins' starter for Week 4 won't arrive until the team has a had a chance to monitor all options at the position in practice.

Herbert (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Per Daniel Popper of The Athletic, Herbert said Wednesday that his ankle feels better than it did at this stage last week, while adding that he's feeling "less pain" and was able to do some 7-on-7 work during his limited session. Though the Chargers are on bye Week 5 and could benefit from having Herbert get some extended rest for the ankle injury he aggravated in the Week 3 loss to the Steelers, the quarterback acknowledged that he "doesn't think" he'll be held out this Sunday, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The Chargers will see how Herbert's ankle holds up in practices the next two days before potentially giving him a designation heading into Sunday.

Love (knee), who was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, said he was "pretty close" to playing this past Sunday in Tennessee, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Love was able to parlay three limited sessions last week into a questionable designation for the Week 3 contest, and he even put in a lengthy pregame warmup prior to the Packers issuing their list of inactives ahead of Sunday's game. Still, the team exercised caution with its franchise quarterback and rolled with quarterback Malik Willis, who was able to secure a second victory in as many chances in place of Love. On Wednesday, Love noted that "every day is a little bit better," with regard to his recovery from the Grade 1-to-2 MCL sprain he suffered in the Packers' season-opening loss to the Eagles. He also relayed that he's "definitely" moving around better, which was corroborated by Ryan Wood of USA Today. Love will have two more opportunities to get back to full practice participation this week before the team potentially makes a ruling on his availability for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Darnold (knee) was a full participant at Wednesday's walkthrough.

Darnold emerged from Sunday's win against the Texans with a bone bruise in his left knee. When speaking to the media Wednesday, Darnold said he's taking the injury "one day at a time" and also had a sleeve to protect his left leg, according to Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com. With an uncapped session under his belt, Darnold seemingly is good to go for Sunday's contest at Green Bay, but whether or not he has wideout Jordan Addison (ankle) -- who was limited Wednesday -- at his disposal for the first time since Week 1 remains to be seen.
