Mariota will serve as Washington's backup quarterback Sunday against the Vikings, as John Keim of ESPN.com reports that Jayden Daniels (elbow) will start.

Daniels will return for his first action since dislocating his left elbow Nov. 9. Mariota has seen extensive action due to Daniels' injury woes in 2025, as the veteran backup has appeared in eight of Washington's 12 games, including six starts. Mariota has posted a 9:6 TD:INT but picked up only one win.

Herbert (left hand) practiced in a limited capacity Friday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Herbert missed a handful of plays in this past Sunday's win against the Raiders due to a left hand injury, for which he underwent surgery to stabilize a fracture Monday, according to Rhim. On Wednesday, Herbert told Rhim that "the plan is to prepare as if I'm going to play and see how the next couple of days goes." Herbert progressed enough by Friday to take snaps under center, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic, which generally is a good sign that he's trending in a positive direction. Saturday's injury report ultimately will reveal if he has a designation for Monday's contest against the Eagles.

Fileds (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Undrafted rookie Brady Cook is poised to work as the backup to Tyrod Taylor in Fields' absence. Fields is dealing with a sore knee, and his next chance to play will come Sunday, Dec. 14 at Jacksonville.

Jackson (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest against the Steelers.

Jackson was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to an ankle issue that kept him out of drills entirely Thursday. He told Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com on Friday that he was stepped on by a teammate during Wednesday's session, but he's also feeling "pretty good," as evidenced by his ability to cap Week 14 with a full practice. Jackson thus will continue to direct the Ravens offense Sunday versus a Pittsburgh defense that has allowed the seventh-most passing yards (3,177) to opposing quarterbacks in 12 games this season.

McCarthy (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

McCarthy cleared concussion protocol Wednesday or Thursday and managed full practice participation throughout the week. There's not much good to say about his 2025 campaign or Minnesota's offense, but they'll at least be at home against a Washington defense that's allowing 254.9 passing yards per game (30th) and 8.7 YPA (32nd). Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Friday that McCarthy had a "great week" of practice.

Coach John Harbaugh said Friday that Jackson (ankle) is poised to play Sunday versus the Steelers, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Whether or not Jackson will enter the weekend with a designation remains to be seen, but Harbaugh's comments indicate the franchise quarterback will continue to play through the pain. Jackson was limited Wednesday and didn't practice Thursday due to an ankle issue, but he was able to mix back into drills Friday, so he either will be listed as questionable or cleared entirely on the Ravens' final Week 14 injury report.

Watson (Achilles) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Titans, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

The Browns opened Watson's 21-day practice window Wednesday to return from the PUP list, which is where he's resided since the start of training camp after undergoing a second surgery in early January to address a re-rupture of his right Achilles. He strung together limited showings in practice this week, but even if he gets medical clearance to play, he might not surpass rookies Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel on the depth chart.

Commanders coach Dan Quinn confirmed Friday that Daniels (left elbow) will start Sunday's game at Minnesota, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

An upgrade to full practice participation Thursday set the table for Daniels to return from a three-game, four-week absence. It's possible he runs less than usual initially, but the Commanders presumably wouldn't play him if he were limited in any significant way. The team around Daniels will probably be the best he's worked with all season, as the Commanders currently have all five O-line starters healthy, not to mention Terry McLaurin's recent return from a quad injury. The opponent appears less favorable, with Minnesota largely playing in low-scoring games or blowouts of late.

Jackson (ankle) returned to practice Friday, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

After opening Week 14 prep as limited due to an ankle issue, Jackson didn't practice Thursday, but offensive coordinator Todd Monken told Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com afterward that he expected Jackson to be under center Sunday against the Steelers. Jackson may need to practice in full Friday in order to avoid a designation for Week 14, something that will become known once the Ravens post their last injury report of the week.

Murray's foot injury isn't improving and he won't play again this season, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon made the announcement Friday, confirming what many already expected. He didn't say if Murray will need surgery, nor did the coach comment on expectations for Murray's future (or lack thereof) with the Cardinals. Jacoby Brissett will continue making starts for Arizona, to the delight of anyone relying on TE Trey McBride or WR Michael Wilson in fantasy.
