The Jets won't activate Siemian for Sunday's game against Kansas City, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Siemian joined the Jets' practice squad Tuesday. While head coach Robert Saleh believes the veteran quarterback is a fast learner, Siemian will get at least a week to learn the playbook and acclimate to his new surroundings. Once he's up to speed, Siemian could contend for the starting job if Zach Wilson continues to struggle. Wilson could earn some job security with a strong showing Sunday against Kansas City, however, but such a scenario seems unlikely based on Wilson's underwhelming performance through the first three games of the season.

Head coach Shane Steichen said that while Richardson is still in the concussion protocol, the quarterback is slated to practice Wednesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Per Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star, Richardson is line to take first-team reps Wednesday, which is a positive indicator with regard to his chances of playing Sunday against the Rams, barring any setbacks. The Colts will release their first official Week 4 practice report later Wednesday, when the extent of Richardson's participation will be known.

The Raiders have optimism that Garoppolo will clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in time to play this Sunday against the Chargers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Though he was able take every snap on offense in the Raiders' 23-18 loss to Pittsburgh this past weekend, Garoppolo was diagnosed with a concussion following the contest, with the injury likely stemming from a helmet-to-helmet hit he took from the Steelers' Minkah Fitzpatrick. Las Vegas will release its first Week 4 practice report later Wednesday, when it will be known whether Garoppolo made enough progress in his recovery from the concussion to practice in at least a limited fashion. If Garoppolo fails to clear the protocol prior to the weekend or is available only as an emergency backup if he fails to log enough practice reps in advance of the game, veteran Brian Hoyer would likely serve as Las Vegas' starting quarterback versus the Chargers.

The Jets signed Siemian to their practice squad Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

As Zach Wilson continues to struggle, it seems possible that the Jets will opt to make a change at quarterback in the near future. Siemian was serviceable in two games with Chicago last season, averaging 7.1 yards per attempt.

Sinnett reverted to the Bengals' practice squad Tuesday.

Sinnett was elevated to the active roster prior to Monday's 19-16 win over the Rams, but he ultimately failed to log a snap while serving as the team's third quarterback behind Joe Burrow and Jake Browning. The 26-year-old could end up being let go in the near future considering Joe Burrow (calf) is getting closer to full strength.

The Saints signed Luton off the Panthers' practice squad Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Luton will likely operate as the team's No. 2 quarterback Sunday against the Buccaneers with Jake Haener still serving a six-game suspension and Derek Carr expected to be out with a shoulder injury. The Oregon State product spent time with New Orleans in 2022 and should be familiar with the offense, making him a viable emergency option for the franchise.

Allen saw action for the second straight week, playing 11 snaps in Buffalo's 37-3 win over Washington in Week 3. He did not attempt a pass and rushed twice for minus-2 yards.

The score indicates exactly why Allen was in there -- for the second game in a row the Bills blew out their opponent and used the fourth quarter to keep franchise quarterback Josh Allen in one piece. What's not shown in the stats is that Kyle Allen actually led the Bills to their final touchdown drive, mostly by handing the ball off to his teammates and letting them continue to run over the Washington D. Kyle Allen does have value if Josh were ever to miss a few games, given the firepower the team has on offense.

The Jets are expected to sign Siemian to their practice squad, pending the quarterback passing a physical, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

The transaction isn't official yet, but if it happens, Siemian will be the first outside addition to the Jets' QB room following the loss of Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) for the season. Currently the team is rolling with Zach Wilson as its starter and Tim Boyle as the No. 2 option.

Burrow (calf) completed 26 of 49 pass attempts for 259 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Monday's 19-16 win over the Rams.

Burrow was able to power through his lingering calf injury in order to help Cincinnati earn its first victory of the 2023 campaign. The star quarterback was clearly not at full strength, making several errant throws and showing limited mobility in the pocket. The end result was another pedestrian fantasy line for a player who sat near the top of all passing categories over the last two seasons. On the bright side, Burrow confirmed to Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic that he did not suffer any setbacks to his calf in a post-game interview following Monday's victory. The best hope for the quarterback's fantasy managers at this point is that he continues to inch closer to full strength as the season progresses. Assuming Burrow gets through this week's practice unscathed, he should be back under center for the Bengals in a tough road matchup against the Titans next Sunday.

Stafford completed 18 of 33 pass attempts for 269 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Monday's 19-16 loss to the Bengals, while rushing once for seven yards.

Two of the Rams' offensive linemen, Alaric Jackson (thigh) and Joe Noteboom (knee), both went down with injuries during Monday's showdown, and as a result the veteran quarterback was the recipient of six sacks and was under constant duress for the duration of the contest. A late one-yard toss to Tutu Atwell helped Stafford avoid going without a touchdown pass in two of his first three contests of the year, a small consolation prize to fantasy managers who gambled on what looked to be a high-octane Rams pass attack. A beatable Colts defense is up next for the Rams in Week 4, but if Jackson and Noteboom were to miss time, it could be another tough outing for Stafford.
