"Ryan will be the starting quarterback on Monday," Vrabel revealed at a news conference following Friday's second and third rounds. "Malik will be the backup. Will will be the third quarterback. And what I've told them is whatever happens after that will be up to the players. That's what it's always been here. That's what we always want it to be."

Related Players: Will Levis, Ryan Tannehill, Malik Willis

As far as finding an option for 2023, this entire situation is going to be a stay-away. You would imagine that Levis will finish the summer higher on the depth chart than Willis, but we can't be certain at this time.

Vrabel would go on to say, "That's our job is to bring in competition at every position," Vrabel said. "It's not a secret. I hope that by now that everybody understands that we have to prove our value to this football team each and every day."

Maybe we will see a trade for any of this guys, but a lot of the situations around the league are already locked in.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Jaguars have franchise-tagged TE Evan Engram.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Raiders placed the franchise tag on Josh Jacobs.

As expected. Both players' value get a boost since we now know where they'll be playing in 2023. Expect the Raiders to continue to use Jacobs in a bell-cow role. Engram had his best season in some time playing for HC Doug Pederson and should continue to be a big part of the Jacksonville passing game. Though with Calvin Ridley added to the mix, targets may be harder to come by.

The Titans are expected to start Josh Dobbs at QB tonight. A onetime University of Tennessee standout, Dobbs signed off the Lions practice squad last week and now will be making his first NFL start.

With Tennessee apparently resting so many starters tonight, it wouldn't have been a good spot for Malik Willis, even with his ability to run. It's best to avoid any and all Titans players in Week 16.

Sounds like Christian Watson, Yosh Nijman, and Keisean Nixon all avoided significant injuries. Coach Matt LaFleur said they would be "day to day" this week.

Watson's mid-season explosion has tapered off the last few weeks, and his hip injury knocked him out of Week 15 after only 20 routes run. We should understand the status of his hip better later on this week.

Packers WR Christian Watson is questionable to return against the Dolphins with a hip injury.

Watson was having another solid game with six catches in the first half for 49 yards. We’ll see how serious the injury is, hopefully nothing major. The Packers were trailing at the half 20-13.

Titans ruled out QB Ryan Tannehill for Saturday’s game vs. the Texans, and rookie QB Malik Willis will start once again.

Not great news for Titans pass catchers but this does add some excitement to this week's slate. Derrick Henry should be in line to take a huge workload.

According to The Athletic, Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill is most likely done for the season with his ankle injury.

Tannehill suffered what was the second injury to his right ankle on Tennessee's first drive of the eventual 17-14 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 15, when the quarterback was tackled by Khalil Mack, and had the ankle rolled up on. Tannehill was carted to the locker room, but returned to the lineup after just one drive off and finished the game. Willis will take over as the team's QB1 but in two starts this year didn't throw for over 80 yards, and is still looking for his first TD pass. He did rush eight times for 40 yards in his Week 9 start. The Titans will likely stick with a run-heavy attack to close out the season, but at some point Willis will probably have to take to the air.

A.J. Dillon has cleared concussion protocol, Matt LaFleur says.

Related players: Aaron Jones

Dillon has four TDs over his last three games and has 8, 18 and 11 carries in that same span to go along with three catches in each game as well. The Packers still have an outside shot at making the playoffs and will need another win this week, on Christmas Day, in Miami. It's good news for Dillon owners, and it looks like he'll play so owners can save a spot in lineups if they were counting on him. Keep in mind most games this week are on Christmas Eve.

Packers injury update: RB A.J. Dillon is being evaluated for a concussion.

Related players: Aaron Jones, Patrick Taylor

Jones and Dillon ran all over the Rams, which included three TDs in the win - two of which came from Dillon. We'll have to see Dillon's status going forward this week leading up to Week 16's games, which is Christmas Day at Miami. After being unplayable in lineups this season, Dillon has turned it on a bit over the last few weeks. However he may be risky to wait on for owners as most of Week 16's games are Saturday.
