Howell completed 19 of 29 passes for 170 yards with no touchdowns and four interceptions in the Commanders' 37-3 loss to the Bills on Sunday. He also rushed once for 18 yards.

The second-year signal-caller came into the day having helped the Commanders to a 2-0 record and with just one interception on his 2023 ledger, but both his and the team's fortunes took a drastic turn Sunday. Buffalo's relentless defense took Howell down a whopping nine times while holding him to 5.9 yards per attempt, and two of his four picks led to a combined 10 points for the Bills. Howell's yardage total was also a season low, but he'll have to quickly recover from Sunday's physical and psychological grind considering the Eagles defense now awaits in a Week 4 road matchup.

Carr, who exited Sunday's game against the Packers due to a right shoulder injury, is set to undergo additional testing at a Green Bay-area hospital, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Carr completed 13 of 18 pass attempts for 103 yards and a touchdown before exiting in the third quarter shortly after being sacked by the Packers' Rashan Gary. The veteran quarterback already underwent X-rays at the stadium, but he'll now get a more thorough evaluation at the hospital as the Saints look to examine him for internal injuries. Carr's status for the Saints' Week 4 contest against the Buccaneers may not be established for a few more days, but Jameis Winston would likely be in line for the start if Carr is unable to play next weekend.

Carr (shoulder) won't return to Sunday's contest at Green Bay, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Carr made an early exit from this Week 3 contest after a Rashan Gary sack in the third quarter. Considering Carr has been ruled out for the rest of the game, Jameis Winston will direct the Saints offense for as long as the former is sidelined.

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

Lance also served in the emergency QB capacity in the first two games of the season as he continues to acclimate to the Cowboys' playbook and scheme. If both Dak Prescott and Cooper Rush were to go down with injuries against Arizona, Lance would have an opportunity to make his team/season debut.

Carr suffered a shoulder injury during Sunday's game in Green Bay, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Carr departed early in the third quarter after taking a sack from Packers pass rusher Rashan Gary. After a visit to the sideline tent and then the locker room, Carr is tending to a shoulder issue. If he's unable to return, he'll finish Week 3 action with 103 yards and one touchdown on 13-for-18 passing. Jameis Winston will lead the Saints offense in Carr's stead.

Carr exited Sunday's game at Green Bay due to an undisclosed injury, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Carr took a seven-yard sack via Packers pass rusher Rashan Gary early in the third quarter and remained on the turf for a spell before making his way to the sideline tent. Not long after that, Carr was escorted to the locker room. The nature of his injury isn't known, but Jameis Winston will direct the Saints offense as long as Carr is out.

Burrow (calf) took the first-team snaps in Sunday's walk-through practice, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday.

The implication here is that Burrow is pushing to play and that the decision won't be made until Monday night. This activity contrasts with Friday's and Saturday's practices, where Burrow worked with the scout team.

Mullens is active for the third straight game for Minnesota and locked in as the second quarterback ahead of the inactive Jaren Hall.

The seventh-year pro is the backup to Minnesota starter Kirk Cousins. Mullens signed a two-year, $4 million contract with the Vikings in March and went 14-of-20 with 139 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in a preseason appearance.

Woodside (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions, but he'll dress and serve as the Falcons' emergency quarterback, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

For a third straight week, Woodside will serve as the No. 3 quarterback. He won't count against the 53-man roster but will be available if Desmond Ridder and Taylor Heinicke are forced out of the game.

A decision on the status of Burrow (calf) for Monday night's game against the Rams could go up to game time, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The report adds that Burrow, who is officially listed as questionable after logging limited practices Friday and Saturday, has been feeling progressively better as the week has unfolded, but Rapoport suggests that if the QB does get the green light Monday, he may need to play through some pain. In any case, given the timing of the Bengals' 8:15 ET kickoff Monday, those considering Burrow in Week 3 fantasy lineups would have limited pivot options (including backup Jake Browning and Matthew Stafford of the Rams) in the event that he is unavailable.
