Wentz is slated to sign with the Rams, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Wentz is expected to slide in as a veteran backup to Matthew Stafford, who missed part of the Rams' Week 8 loss to the Cowboys and all of the team's Week 9 loss to the Packers with a thumb injury. The Rams are hoping that Wentz can provide an upgrade to the overall depth of the position group after Brett Rypien completed just 13 of 28 attempts for 172 yards and an interception while starting in place of the injured Stafford in Week 9. The Rams are on bye Week 10, so Wentz will have added time to get up to speed with the playbook in the event Stafford isn't ready to return for a Week 11 tilt against the Seahawks.

Head coach Mike Vrabel announced Tuesday that Tannehill will be the Titans' backup quarterback behind Will Levis moving forward, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

The veteran appears to be ready to return from his ankle injury, but he's lost his starting job to the rookie. Prior to getting hurt in London in Week 6, Tannehill had completed just 62 percent of his throws for 1,128 yards and a meager two touchdowns versus six interceptions. Levis has given the offense life as a more willing downfield passer, and 2023 is the final year of Tannehill's contract, so there's a real chance he's played his last snap for the Titans. Malik Willis will presumably be the emergency third quarterback.

Head coach Mike Vrabel said Tuesday that Levis will remain the Titans' starting quarterback moving forward, Joe Rexrode of The Athletic reports.

Meanwhile, Ryan Tannehill (ankle) will serve as Levis' backup as soon as he's healthy enough to play, per Turron Davenport of ESPN.com. Levis has put together two straight productive performances in which he completed 41 of 68 passes (60.3 percent) for 500 yards, four touchdowns and one interception while also running eight times for 13 yards. He'll look to keep up the pace Sunday on the road against the Buccaneers' 31st-ranked pass defense (279.4 yards per game).

Wilson completed 33 of 49 passes for 263 yards without a touchdown or interception in Monday's 27-6 loss to the Chargers. He added two rushing attempts for seven yards and fumbled three times, losing two.

Wilson struggled but didn't get any help from the rest of New York's offense, which has produced just three touchdowns in the last four games. He was sacked eight times behind an unsuccessfully rejiggered offensive line, and numerous drops and penalties didn't help matters. While a significant chunk of Wilson's yardage came with the game out of reach in the fourth quarter, he should have at least had a late touchdown, but C.J. Uzomah dropped a ball that hit him in the chest in the end zone. Coming off this hollow season high in passing yards, Wilson will bring a 5:5 TD:INT into a Week 10 road game in Vegas.

Herbert completed just 16 of his 30 pass attempts for 136 yards. He didn't record a touchdown or an interception in Monday's 27-6 win over the Jets.

New York's offense hardly threatened at any point in this contest, so Herbert and the Chargers were content to not risk any big plays. Only Keenan Allen (8-9-77) really did much of anything, and most of that came late in the second half as the team was positioning itself for the merciful dagger to an ugly overall game. Hopefully Week 10's quality matchup against the Lions will yield more production.

Winn was reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Winn was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's Week 9 loss to Green Bay, but he didn't get into the game. The 24-year-old out of UT Martin served as the backup to Brett Rypien in that contest with Matthew Stafford out with an injured thumb. The Rams are on bye this week, but if Stafford still isn't able to play Week 11 versus Seattle, Winn could get another chance to make his NFL debut in that matchup.

Driskel reverted to Arizona's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Driskel took a back seat to rookie fifth-rounder Clayton Tune in Week 9 at Cleveland. With Kyler Murray (knee) on track to return in Week 10, it's not clear if Driskel has any more elevations in his immediate future.

Rodgers (Achilles) was spotted throwing prior to Monday's game against the Chargers.

As he's done before, Rodgers made a handful of pre-game tosses, only this time he was doing so after taking three-step drops, per Judy Battista of NFL Network. Rodgers also made some 50-yard throws, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. During his weekly appearance on The Pat McAfee Show last Tuesday, Rodgers said that he hasn't started jogging yet, but he's able to walk without discomfort as he continues to push ahead of schedule in his recovery from Achilles surgery. There does seem to be a slight chance that Rodgers will be able to play again this season, but he's also admitted that the Jets need to be in the mix for the playoffs for a 2023 return to make sense. In the meantime, Zach Wilson will continue to lead New York's offense.

Coach Sean McVay sounded optimistic Monday that Stafford (thumb) will be back after the Rams' bye week, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com.

With Stafford inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers, Brett Rypien drew the start at QB in his place, but with the benefit of a Week 10 bye, it appears as though the Rams are hopeful Stafford will miss only one game due to an ulnar collateral ligament sprain in his right thumb, per ESPN.com. The team hosts Seattle on Sunday, Nov. 19, and more context regarding Stafford's Week 11 status will arrive once the the Rams resume practicing ahead of that contest.

Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said that Murray (knee) will start Sunday's game against the Falcons if the quarterback fares well while taking first-team reps in practice this week, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Gannon added that the Cardinals will formally add Murray back to the 53-man roster Wednesday, when his 21-day evaluation window for a return from the reserve/PUP list will come to a close. He'll then step back on the practice field later that day, working with the first-team offense after he had previously been throwing passes to members of the practice squad for most of the past two weeks. Expect Gannon to announce an official decision on a Week 10 starter following Friday's practice, but Murray hasn't hit any snags in his recovery from a torn ACL since he resumed working out with Arizona and should be ready to hit the ground running this weekend. Given that Murray will be returning from major knee surgery, however, it's possible that the Cardinals exercise some caution with the dual-threat quarterback's workload as a rusher compared to previous seasons.
