Daniels completed 24 of 35 passes for 274 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Rams. He also gained 16 rushing yards on four carries and lost a fumble.

The lost fumble was the first giveaway of the season for Daniels in six games. The third-year QB also struggled to sustain drives while working with a badly depleted wide receiver room, and his lone TD was a seven-yard toss to Van Jefferson -- a player who had zero catches on the year coming into Sunday -- in the second quarter. Injuries have derailed the first half of the season for the Commanders, but Daniels will try to spark his team to life in Week 10 against the Giants.

McCarthy (hip) completed 12 of 19 passes for 127 yards and rushed four times for 22 yards in Sunday's 19-11 win over the Eagles.

McCarthy left the game in the third quarter due to a hip injury, and Jameis Winston led the Giants' only touchdown drive of the game before McCarthy checked back in on the following possession. Winston's small-sample success Sunday probably won't be enough to wrestle the starting role back from McCarthy, but McCarthy's Week 10 availability could be in question with a short week to recover before the Giants host the Commanders on Thursday. It wasn't pretty, but the 5-2-1 Giants maintained some breathing room in the NFC East, even with the Cowboys improving to 4-5, while the 2-7 Eagles and 2-5-1 Commanders dropped further out of contention.

Prescott completed 21 of 34 passes for 335 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing twice for one yard in the Cowboys' 27-23 win over the Colts on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Prescott had a couple of bumps in the road against an inconsistent Colts defense, but the veteran signal-caller, who was also working without George Pickens (hamstring), still found his way to his third 300-yard effort of the season. Prescott unsurprisingly bestowed plenty of attention on CeeDee Lamb, who ultimately was responsible for 10 of his completions, 195 of his yards and one of his two TDs. Prescott also connected with Jake Ferguson for a 10-yard scoring strike early in the second quarter, and the one blemish on the star quarterback's day was a fumble on a sack at his own 16-yard line that led to a Colts touchdown. Prescott has at least one touchdown pass in every game heading into a Week 10 home showdown against the 49ers next Sunday.

Stafford completed 26 of 43 passes for 228 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Commanders. He added one yard on his only carry.

The veteran QB looked the way of Puka Nacua (knee) early and often, with no other Ram pass catcher managing more than 20 receiving yards, and the star wideout was on the other end of a seven-yard TD toss in the fourth quarter that proved to be the winning score. Stafford has thrown a single touchdown pass in back-to-back games, after producing multiple TDs in five of six contests before that, and his options could get even thinner with Nacua headed for an MRI after getting hurt on L.A.'s final possession.

Coach Andy Reid acknowledged after Sunday's 35-12 win over the Jets that Mahomes will likely be sore Monday after suffering an apparent elbow injury during the contest, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN reports.

Despite dealing with the elbow issue, Mahomes was able to finish Sunday's game, en route to completing 23 of his 31 pass attempts for 242 yards and a pair of TDs. In terms of his status as next Sunday's contest against the Falcons goes, Pete Sweeney of The Kansas City Star relays that Mahomes said, "if I'm able to play then I'm going to play." In the event that Mahomes' practice participation is impacted all in the coming days, Justin Fields would be next up for the Chiefs' first-team QB reps in that scenario.

McCarthy (hip) returned to Sunday's contest at Philadelphia, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

McCarthy exited Week 9 action for a spell in the third quarter due to a hip injury, but it couldn't keep him from coming back on to the field near the end of that period. Barring a setback, he'll look to finish out the game.

O'Connell (coach's decision) is inactive and serving as the Raiders' emergency third quarterback Sunday versus San Francisco.

O'Connell has regularly been Las Vegas' emergency QB this season and has yet to log any game action. He won't be able to enter Sunday's matchup unless both Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza have to exit due to injury, illness or ejection.

Morton (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Patriots' emergency third quarterback against the Packers on Sunday.

As the emergency third quarterback, Morton is not allowed to play Sunday unless both Drake Maye and Tommy DeVito are removed from the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

McCarthy suffered a hip injury during Sunday's game in Philadelphia.

McCarthy was on the receiving end of a big hit from Eagles linebacker Zack Baun in the third quarter and was in clear pain as he went to the sideline tent and eventually the locker room. The nature of the issue is known, but considering McCarthy is questionable to return, he still has a chance to reenter the contest. Jameis Winston has taken over for McCarthy under center.

McCarthy (undisclosed) went to the blue medical tent during Sunday's game at Philadelphia, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

McCarthy took a big hit to the midsection from Eagles linebacker Zack Baun in the third quarter and was in obvious discomfort as he went to the sideline. The nature of McCarthy's injury isn't known, but Jameis Winston will fill in for him for as long as he's out of the contest.
