Rattler is active and will remain the Saints' No. 2 quarterback for Sunday's game against the Steelers in Paris, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Rattler was able to beat out Zach Wilson for the top backup job behind Tyler Shough during the preseason and has maintained his positioning on the depth chart all season. For the seventh week in a row, Wilson will be inactive as the Saints' emergency No. 3 signal-caller.

Rudolph is active for Sunday's game against the Saints in Paris, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Rudolph has emerged as the Steelers' preferred backup quarterback behind starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers coming out of the preseason. Through each of Pittsburgh's first seven contests, Rudolph has suited up, while both Will Howard and Drew Allar have been inactive. Howard is the Steelers' emergency No. 3 quarterback and will be called upon to play only in the event that both Rodgers and Rudolph are forced to exit Sunday's game.

With Lamar Jackson (ankle) being downgraded to out, Huntley will be the Ravens' starting quarterback against the Bengals on Sunday.

Jackson initially drew the questionable tag after being limited in practice all week, but he has not recovered enough from a high-ankle sprain to make his return for Sunday's AFC North showdown. Huntley will start for a third consecutive game, and the veteran quarterback will face a Bengals defense that has given up only five touchdown passes (tied for third-fewest in the league) and ranks sixth in the NFL in sacks (17).

Jackson (ankle) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Jackson drew the questionable tag for Sunday's AFC North tilt after being a limited practice participant all week, but the superstar quarterback will end up missing a third consecutive game due to a high-ankle sprain. As a result, Tyler Huntley will once again start under center for the Ravens, and Jackson's next opportunity to play is Week 8 against the Bills on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Daniels is expected to work as Tampa Bay's No. 2 QB on Sunday in Carolina, as Baker Mayfield (thumb) is questionable to play but is expected to start, Scott Smith and Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site report.

Daniels has led Tampa Bay to a 1-2 record over his three starts in Mayfield's absence. The rookie has completed an acceptable 63.2 percent of his passes and has averaged 39 rush yards per game, but he's thrown four interceptions and just three touchdowns. While Mayfield still carries a questionable tag for Sunday, he was a full participant in practice all week, and coach Todd Bowles said the veteran signal-caller "looks like he's ready to go."

Beck (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Beck was unable to practice Thursday and Friday while working through back spasms, per Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com. He's been the emergency QB3 in each of the Cardinals' first six games of the season, and since Arizona doesn't have another quarterback on the practice squad, the team could just roll with starter Jacoby Brissett and backup Gardner Minshew for Sunday's contest.

Lock (elbow) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Lock logged three consecutive limited practices during Week 7 prep. The backup quarterback's throwing arm remains a problem, leaving it unclear whether he will suit up for Sunday's game or if Jalen Milroe will be active for the contest.

Gabriel (back) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

The Browns opened Gabriel's 21-day return window on Oct. 6. If the second-year quarterback is not activated by Tuesday's deadline, he will be forced to spend the remainder of the 2026 season on IR. The Browns have been struggling to make decisions at quarterback, so it remains unclear if the team will activate him, keep him stashed on IR, or waive him once a judgment call is forced.

Huntley will start Sunday's Week 7 matchup against Cincinnati if Lamar Jackson (ankle) is unable to play, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

Jackson said Friday that he is dealing with a high-ankle sprain, and though he's receiving treatment on a daily basis, he's officially questionable to suit up Sunday and is considered a game-time decision. The star quarterback has already missed two games because of the injury, and Huntley has stepped in to lead Baltimore to a 1-1 record during that span. While Huntley was excellent in throwing for 201 yards and two touchdowns (and adding a rushing score) Week 5 against Atlanta, he fell back this past Sunday in a loss to Cleveland, throwing for just 165 yards and one score (albeit without committing any turnovers). Whichever Ravens QB starts against the Bengals will face a defense that has given up only five passing touchdowns through five games, though Cincinnati has also given up the fifth-most rushing yards to QBs.

Jackson (ankle) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

The Ravens listed Jackson as a limited participant all week, with the QB telling reporters Friday that he's "heading in the right direction," per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. Jackson clarified that his injury is a high-ankle sprain, and while the swelling has subsided, he's still dealing with considerable pain that may limit his mobility. He suggested that a decision won't be made until Saturday or Sunday, at which point the Ravens may try to keep it under wraps until inactive lists are released at 11:30 a.m. ET on Sunday. If Jackson is out again, Tyler Huntley will make his third straight start.
