PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to their practice squad, reuniting him with former teammate Aaron Rodgers. Valdes-Scantling played with Rodgers in Green Bay from 2018 to 2021. The 31-year-old receiver won two Super Bowls with Kansas City in 2022 and 2023. He was most recently with the San Francisco 49ers, catching four passes for 40 yards before being released last month. The Steelers lead the AFC North at 5-3 but have struggled with consistent production from their wide receivers outside of star DK Metcalf.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Jacoby Brissett threw for two touchdowns and ran for a score filling in again for Kyler Murray, and the Arizona Cardinals stopped a five-game losing streak with a 27-17 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Brissett made his third consecutive start after the week began with expectations of Murray returning from a foot injury coming off the team’s open week. Instead, the Cardinals pivoted to Brissett. Arizona won for just the second time in the past 18 games when Murray didn’t take at least five snaps or sat out entirely. The Cowboys couldn’t build on the momentum of Sam Williams’ blocked punt that was recovered in the end zone by Marshawn Kneeland.

Jayden Daniels has a dislocated left elbow, and Washington coach Dan Quinn did not have a timetable for his return when he provided an update Monday. Quinn began his video conference by admitting it was a mistake to leave Daniels in the game in the fourth quarter Sunday night. The Commanders were down 38-7 to Seattle in a game they’d eventually lose 38-14, and Daniels had already missed time this season with knee and hamstring problems. The second-year quarterback was hurt with 7:29 remaining, when he was tackled and his non-throwing arm bent gruesomely after he put his hand on the ground.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Jayden Daniels left Washington’s game against Seattle with an injury to his left, non-throwing arm. Daniels’ arm bent gruesomely while he was being tackled near the goal line in the fourth quarter. The Commanders were down 38-7 at the time, raising questions about why Daniels was still in the game. It was yet another injury for the second-year quarterback in a season that has quickly spiraled for Washington. Daniels had just come back from a hamstring injury that caused him to miss the previous game at Kansas City. He also missed two games earlier this season with a knee injury.
