Rodgers underwent surgery to repair his torn left Achilles on Wednesday, Kimberley A. Martin of ESPN reports.

Rodgers sustained the injury in his Jets debut Monday against Buffalo and will be out for the rest of the season. Dr. Neal ElAttrache completed the surgery, which Rodgers indicated was successful in a post on Instagram. He will now begin a long recovery, with the potential goal of returning for the 2024 season.

Hall (coach's decision) is inactive for the Vikings' matchup with the Eagles on Thursday Night Football.

Although he's inactive, Hall will serve as Minnesota's emergency third quarterback in Thursday's contest. Unless Kirk Cousins and Nick Mullens are knocked out of the game, Hall will be a healthy scratch.

McKee (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Vikings.

McKee has yet to dress for either of the Eagles' first two games of the season while he's stuck behind both Jalen Hurts and Marcus Mariota on the depth chart at quarterback. Unless one of the latter two players misses time at any point over the next 16 weeks, the rookie sixth-round pick out of Stanford will likely remain a fixture on the Eagles' inactive list.

Garoppolo (ankle) was a full practice participant Thursday.

The Raiders haven't revealed whether Garoppolo's listed ankle injury is related to his surgically repaired left foot, but his upgrade from limited practice participation Wednesday to full participation Thursday erases any concern about his availability for Sunday's game in Buffalo. Garoppolo proved to be an effective game manager in the Raiders' 17-16 win over the Broncos in Week 1, committing just one turnover (an interception) while completing 20 of 26 pass attempts for 200 yards and two touchdowns to go with an additional nine yards on the ground.

Rypien will be signed to the Rams' 53-man roster from their practice squad Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Rypien will be the beneficiary of Stetson Bennett's placement on the reserve/non-football injury list, which took place Wednesday. The Boise State product will now operate as Matthew Stafford's backup beginning Sunday against the 49ers. The 27-year-old appeared in four games with the Broncos last season, completing 53 of 88 passes for 483 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions.

Bennett's placement on the reserve/NFI list Wednesday was due to an illness, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

When Rams coach Sean McVay was initially asked about Bennett on Wednesday, he declined to indicate the nature of the issue that resulted in the quarterback landing on the reserve/NFI list. It has since been made clear that Bennett is dealing with an illness, though McVay declined to elaborate "out of respect for the particulars and the specifics." Bennett had been managing a shoulder injury for several weeks, but that appears unrelated to Wednesday's transaction.

The Rams placed Bennett on the reserve/NFI list Wednesday, Greg Beacham of The Associated Press reports.

It's not clear what precisely prompted the move, partially because Coach Sean McVay declined to explain it to reporters. Bennett had reportedly been dealing with shoulder soreness ahead of Week 1, so it could be that, but for now all that is known for certain is that the Rams will need a new backup quarterback for the immediate future.

Garoppolo was listed as a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury.

Garoppolo battled a foot injury prior to the season opener but looked spry in his Raiders debut, sealing a 17-16 Week 1 victory over the Broncos with an eight-yard scramble on 3rd-and-7 to get the game-clinching first down. The Raiders haven't revealed whether the ankle injury is connected to Garoppolo's prior foot problem, but regardless, his availability for Sunday in Buffalo likely won't be affected. Garoppolo told Vic Tafur of The Athletic after Wednesday's practice that he's doing fine, which suggests his limitations in the first Week 2 session were mostly maintenance-related.

Richardson (knee) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report.

In the Colts' 31-21 loss to Jacksonville in Week 1, Richardson came out of the game for the final three offensive plays due to a bruised left knee, but both the quarterback and head coach Shane Steichen downplayed the injury after the game. The rookie's omission from the Week 2 injury report confirms that Richardson is healthy heading into Sunday's game in Houston, where the rookie signal-caller will look to pick up the first win of his NFL career after throwing one touchdown and rushing for another in his debut.

The Patriots signed Book to their practice squad Wednesday, Mark Daniels of The Springfield Republican reports.

Book will be joining the third organization of his career after stops with the Saints and Eagles over the first two seasons since entering the league as a fourth-round pick in 2021. The former Notre Dame standout will bolster New England's organization depth at quarterback after Matt Corral was moved to the exempt/left squad list Saturday.
