Jones completed 12 of 22 pass attempts for 110 yards with two interceptions and a fumble before being replaced by Bailey Zappe with 13:03 left in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 34-0 loss to the Saints, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

After taking over for Jones, Zappe completed three of nine passes for 22 yards. With the Patriots now 1-4 and Jones having been pulled from two straight contests, it remains to be seen who the team's starting QB will be next weekend against the Raiders. Either way, Jones doesn't profile as a high-percentage fantasy option in Week 6.

Jones won't return to Sunday's game in Miami due to a neck issue, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.

Jones' injury came in the midst of getting sacked for the sixth time among 12 quarterback hits Sunday. At the point of his departure in the fourth quarter, he had completed 14 of 20 passes for 119 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing four times for 24 yards. Tyrod Taylor subbed in for Jones and will lead the Giants offense for as long as the latter is sidelined.

Jones exited Sunday's game at Miami in the fourth quarter due to an undisclosed injury, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.

After getting sacked for the sixth time Sunday, Jones appeared woozy getting to his feet before going to the sideline tent, and eventually, the locker room. As long as Jones is sidelined, Tyrod Taylor will direct the Giants offense.

X-rays on Richardson's injured right shoulder came back negative after he was evaluated in the locker room following his exit from Sunday's game against the Titans, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Richardson has already been ruled out for a return to Sunday's contest, but the fact that he's not dealing with any broken bones is at least a welcome sight. He'll still be sent in for further testing in the coming days as the Colts look to discern whether his shoulder injury is serious enough to prevent him from playing Week 6 in Jacksonville and beyond. Gardner Minshew will serve as the Colts' quarterback for the rest of Sunday's contest in place of Richardson, who completed nine of 12 pass attempts for 98 yards and rushed twice for five yards prior to his exit.

Mullens (back) is inactive Sunday against the Chiefs.

Mullens logged limited practices throughout the week, but he'll be unable to backup Kirk Cousins against Kansas City. Jaren Hall will instead get that opportunity in Week 5.

McKee (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 5 game against the Rams but will serve as the emergency quarterback.

McKee will continue to reprise his role as the option of last resort under center for the Eagles versus the Rams. He'll only see the field if both Jalen Hurts and Marcus Mariota are sidelined by injury during the contest.

Richardson (shoulder) has been ruled out for a return to the second half of Sunday's game against the Titans, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Gardner Minshew will direct the Indianapolis offense for the rest of the day. Richardson finishes the Week 5 contest with nine completions on 12 attempts for 98 yards and two carries for five yards. In addition to missing the Colts' Week 3 win over the Ravens while recovering from a concussion, the rookie quarterback has now left early due to injury in two of his first four NFL starts. He'll likely have his right shoulder injury evaluated further in the coming days, leaving his status for the Colts' Week 6 game at Jacksonville uncertain at the moment.

Allen completed 27 of 40 passes for 359 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Jaguars. He added 14 rushing yards and a TD on four carries.

The Bills came out flat to begin the game, having only landed in London a little more than 48 hours before kickoff, but Allen hit Stefon Diggs late in the second quarter to avoid a first-half shutout and then piled up the production late as Buffalo tried in vain to mount a comeback. The quarterback has delivered 13 touchdowns over the last four games -- 10 through the air, three on the ground -- and he figures to post big numbers again in Week 6 against the struggling Giants.

Richardson left Sunday's game against the Titans with a right shoulder injury and is questionable to return, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.

Per James Boyd of The Athletic, Richardson couldn't lift his right arm as he headed to the locker room. Prior to his departure from the contest, Richardson had completed nine of 12 passing attempts for 98 yards and carried twice for five yards. In his absence, Gardner Minshew has taken over at quarterback for the Colts.

Lawrence completed 25 of 37 passes for 315 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 25-20 win over Buffalo. He also rushed seven times for 31 yards and fumbled three times, losing two.

Lawrence threw for over 300 yards for the first time this season and went without an interception for the second straight contest, but he still had trouble with ball security Sunday with three fumbles on five sacks. The 24-year-old was still able to lead Jacksonville to its second straight win, though he'll need to improve his ball security going forward with two interceptions and six fumbles (three lost) through five games.
