Philadelphia Eagles · QB · vs New York Giants
Named the starter Wednesday, benching Tanner McKee. The third-year quarterback makes his first NFL start Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.

Started Saturday in Denver with Yves Missi out with a left knee bone bruise. Wednesday's rematch starter is undecided and depends on Missi.

Los Angeles Rams · WR · vs Las Vegas Raiders
Hurt his calf in Thursday practice and will not practice Friday. His status for Sunday is still up in the air.
Baltimore Ravens · QB · vs Jacksonville Jaguars

Indianapolis Colts · CB · at Minnesota Vikings
Ruled out with a calf injury. He hurt it against Tennessee on Sunday, did not practice all week, and is week-to-week.
