Rodgers (thumb) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

For the fifth week in a row, Rodgers is opening game prep with either some or no activity. This time around, it was the latter, but that may be due to most of the Packers' skill-position group and top two offensive linemen having some sort of practice limitations Wednesday. Wide receivers Romeo Doubs (ankle) and Sammy Watkins (knee) also sat out the session, wideout Allen Lazard (shoulder) and running back Aaron Jones (ankle) were limited, and wideout Christian Watson (concussion protocol) was a full participant. Rodgers will look to get back in the mix Thursday and/or Friday as the team prepares for Sunday's showdown with the Cowboys.

Tannehill (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Tannehill managed limited showings last Wednesday and Friday before ultimately missing a second straight game in Sunday's overtime loss to the Chiefs. Malik Willis will make another start this Sunday against Denver if Tannehill isn't ready to play.

Murray was a non-participant at Wednesday's walk-through session due to a hamstring injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

The Cardinals' first injury report of Week 10 is merely an estimate, but Murray wouldn't have taken part if the team had held an actual practice. As such, his status will be one to watch Thursday and Friday to get a sense of his availability for Sunday's game at the Rams.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that Stafford is in the concussion protocol, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Stafford struggled to move the offense during this past Sunday's 16-13 loss at Tampa Bay, where he completed 13 of 27 passes for 165 yards and one touchdown, was sacked four times and overall took eight quarterback hits. Now that he's in the concussion protocol, Stafford is subject to its five phases in order to gain clearance for game action. Wednesday's injury report may give an indication of Stafford's current standing in the protocol. If he's able to practice Wednesday in a limited capacity, he could be on a path to playing Sunday versus the Cardinals.

Allen (elbow) won't practice Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, head coach Sean McDermott referred to Allen as "day-to-day" as Sunday's game against the Vikings approaches. With the star signal-caller's Week 10 status yet to be determined, backup Case Keenum is in line to handle first-team quarterback reps for the Bills on Wednesday.

Allen, who is dealing with a UCL sprain to his right elbow, is expected to have his reps limited in practice this week, but the Bills remain hopeful that he'll play Sunday against the Vikings, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Allen picked up the injury in the Bills' Week 9 loss to the Jets, though he wasn't forced to miss any snaps because of it. Even so, Allen still seems to be affected by the injury, though both the quarterback and the team believe the elbow sprain will be something he'll be able to manage moving forward. While Allen is likely to sit out Wednesday or participate in the Bills' first Week 10 session as only a limited participant, the early expectation is that he'll be ready to start by the time Sunday rolls around. Rapoport notes that how Allen's elbow responds this week will be a significant factor in the 26-year-old's availability and outlook moving forward.

Ehlinger remains the starter heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Raiders on Sunday, Kevin Hickey of USA Today reports.

Indianapolis' new head coach, Jeff Saturday, replacing Frank Reich, said in his opening press conference Monday that "Sam [Ehlinger] will be the quarterback." The 2021 sixth-round pick is coming off a dispiriting loss to New England but did show some flashes in his debut versus the Commanders in Week 8, and he could find more success against an exploitable Raiders defense on Sunday. Through two NFL starts, Ehlinger is still without his first passing touchdown but has thrown one interception.

Dalton completed 19 of 29 passes for 210 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Monday's 27-13 loss to the Ravens. He added two rushes for five yards.

Dalton's final stat line doesn't look terrible, but he padded it significantly in garbage time. His lone touchdown went for 41 yards with the Saints down 27-7 late in the fourth quarter, and the Ravens gave up on the play after mistakenly believing that Juwan Johnson had stepped out of bounds. While Dalton has likely done enough to maintain his starting role heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Steelers, he has managed only one total touchdown in four of his six games on the season.

Jackson completed 12 of 22 passes for 133 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Monday's 27-13 win over the Saints. He added 11 rushes for 82 yards.

Jackson got off to a quick start through the air by leading the Ravens on an 11-play, 76-yard touchdown drive on their second possession that he capped with a 24-yard touchdown toss to Isaiah Likely. He slowed down through the air from there, but he found success with his legs, ripping off runs of 17, 16 and 12 yards. The end result was his seventh game this season with over 50 rushing yards. That has helped him maintain a moderate amount of fantasy value despite having recorded multiple passing touchdowns in only one of his last six contests.

The Titans reverted Woodside to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

With Ryan Tannehill dealing with an ankle injury, Woodside was elevated to the active roster each of the past two weeks to back up Malik Willis. Despite Willis' struggles, Woodside did not take a snap in either contest. Whether he's elevated again for Week 10's clash with the Broncos will largely depend on Tannehill's health.
