Lock (elbow) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Lock continues to work through a right elbow injury, which lead to him operating as the Seahawks' emergency third quarterback against the Chiefs in Week 7. He'll have one more chance to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation ahead of Monday's game against the Bears.

Huntley will be the backup quarterback against the Bills on Sunday after Lamar Jackson (ankle) was cleared to return from a three-game absence, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

Jackson was a full participant in all three practices during Week 8 prep, which was enough for the two-time MVP to be cleared to return for Sunday's road tilt. Huntley started in each of the Ravens' last three games, during which he has completed 68.0 percent of his passes for 664 yards, four touchdowns and one interception while adding 14 carries for 60 yards and a score. Huntley will be on standby in case Jackson aggravates his ankle issue in Week 8.

Ravens coach Jesse Minter confirmed Friday that Jackson (ankle) will play in Sunday's game at Buffalo, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.

This outcome was likely once the Ravens listed Jackson as a full practice participant Wednesday and Thursday. It's possible he won't be at his best as a runner after missing three games with a high-ankle sprain, although he told reporters Friday that lingering pain in the ankle shouldn't impact his movement.

Young has been playing through a left knee issue since initially suffering the injury in Week 3 against the Browns, Mike Kaye of ESPN.com reports.

Young has been wearing a brace on the left knee, but the quarterback refused to blame the injury for his poor performance of late. However, coach Dave Canales said after Thursday night's 27-19 loss to the Packers that he notices Young doesn't have the escapability in the pocket behind Carolina's makeshift offensive line. Young was pressured on nearly half of his dropbacks against Green Bay and was unable to make anything happen down the field in the passing game. He'll have 10 days to rest his knee before a Week 9 date with the Broncos.

Love completed 30 of 41 passes for 288 yards with three touchdowns and one interception and recovered a fumble in the Packers' 27-19 win over the Panthers on Thursday.

Love continued his season-long trend of prolific passing yardage totals in the Packers' fifth win of the season, and Thursday's total was accomplished with Christian Watson missing almost a full quarter because of chest and rib injuries. Love connected with Tucker Kraft (12 yards), Matthew Golden (24 yards) and Josh Jacobs (four yards) for his trio of TD passes, a figure that marked a new season high. Love did throw an interception for a third straight game, but it didn't lead to any Panthers points. Love is already up to what is currently a league-high 2,246 passing yards and 16 touchdown passes on the season heading into a Week 9 road showdown against the Patriots on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Young completed 23 of 41 passes for 209 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Panthers' 27-19 loss to the Packers on Thursday.

Young was under pressure all night, ultimately taking six sacks. The slumping signal-caller also averaged a season-low 5.1 yards per attempt thanks to the scant time he typically had to scan the field, a development that helped lead to Young's top two pass catchers on the night, Tetairoa McMillan and Chuba Hubbard, averaging just 9.5 and 5.4 yards per reception, respectively. Young salvaged his fantasy night to an extent with a 26-yard touchdown strike to Jalen Coker with under six minutes remaining in the game, and he'll have a tough assignment with which to try and snap out of his slump when the Broncos visit for a Week 9 matchup on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Beck (back) practiced in full Thursday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beck has been battling a back injury, though it hasn't prevented him from being the team's emergency QB3. While it appears the worst of the injury is behind the rookie signal-caller, that still likely won't improve his chances of getting on the field anytime soon, at least while Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew are healthy.

Lock (elbow) was a limited participant at the Seahawks' practice Thursday.

Lock remained limited at practice Thursday after logging three straight limited sessions before being ruled out for the team's Week 7 win over the Chiefs. The quarterback has been dealing with an elbow injury, and he will have two more chances to notch a full practice prior to Monday night's matchup with the Bears.

King (coach's decision) is inactive but operating as the Panthers' emergency No. 3 quarterback against the Packers on Thursday night, Darin Gantt of the team's official website reports.

King will once again serve as the team's emergency QB for the seventh game in a row. The rookie would only be eligible to enter the game if both starter Bryce Young and primary backup Kenny Pickett are forced out of the contest.

Jackson (ankle) was a full participant at Thursday's practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Jackson seems on track to return to action for Sunday's game at Buffalo after logging back-to-back uncapped sessions to begin Week 8 prep. Ultimately, Friday's injury report will reveal if he's tagged with a designation for that matchup, but the quarterback is seeking his first game action since Week 4, when he initially suffered a left high-ankle sprain.
