Though Hoyer's symptoms are said to be improving, he remains in the NFL's concussion protocol as of Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Hoyer's Week 11 status thus remains cloudy at this stage of the week, with backup T.J. Yates thus making preparations to start Sunday's contest against the Jets in the event that Hoyer -- who is viewed by coach Bill O'Brien as day-to-day -- is not cleared in advance of the contest.
