Maye completed 25 of 34 passes for 281 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions while rushing four times for two yards in the Patriots' 27-14 win over the Jets on Thursday night.

Maye put together another signature effort, combining efficiency with some chunk plays through the air on his way to his second game of over 280 yards in the last four contests. He did see a five-game streak of multiple touchdown passes come to an end, but he also went without an interception for the first time in four contests. The stellar second-year signal-caller connected with five targets overall, and he hit TreVeyon Henderson for his one touchdown pass from six yards out just before the midway point of the third quarter. Maye should have a very good chance of staying hot Week 12 as well, considering the highly vulnerable Bengals defense pays a visit on Sunday, Nov. 23.

Rich Cimini of ESPN.com suggests that Fields could be playing for his job Thursday night against the Patriots.

As Cimini notes, coach Aaron Glenn hasn't confirmed Fields as the Jets' Week 11 starter, but assuming that's the case, he'll be working without star WR Garrett Wilson (knee), who has been placed on IR. Fields has been held under 100 passing yards in three of his past four outings, a context that makes him a risky fantasy option versus New England, in any case. Per Cimini, Tyrod Taylor, who is past a recent knee injury, is lurking as a possible replacement in the event that Fields struggles Thursday.

Purdy (toe) practiced in full Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. Afterward, coach Kyle Shanahan announced on KNBR San Francisco that Purdy was in line to start Sunday's contest at Arizona.

Purdy thus is poised for his first game action since Week 4 and just his third appearance of the season due to a nagging turf toe injury. He spoke on the issue Thursday, saying that surgery never was on the table, and that he also doesn't intend to wear a steel insert in his cleats, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Purdy also told Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com that he'll start this weekend, assuming he gets through the next few days unscathed. "I feel really good," Purdy said. "I feel healthy and excited to be back and ready to go and lead the guys. I'm really excited about this week." Purdy will retake the reins of the 49ers offense from No. 2 QB Mac Jones, who has handled eight spot starts this season.

DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Patriots' emergency third quarterback against the Jets on Thursday.

DeVito has yet to appear in a regular-season game as New England's emergency QB3 behind Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs. DeVito is restricted from playing Thursday unless both Maye and Dobbs are removed from the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Smith (quadriceps) isn't listed on the Raiders' Week 11 injury report.

Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Smith suffered a thigh bruise last Thursday against the Broncos, but the issue was downplayed afterward by coach Pete Carroll. With Smith not listed on this Thursday's injury report, the QB will be good to go Monday night against the 3-5-1 Cowboys, who have dropped two straight contests, most recently a 27-17 loss to the Cardinals in Week 9 in which Jacoby Brissett completed 21 of 31 pass attempts for 261 yards and two touchdowns, while logging five carries for four yards and a rushing score.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said on the 49ers Game Plan on Thursday that Purdy (toe) is slated to start Sunday's game at Arizona, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Per David Lombardi of SFStandard.com, Shanahan has hinted at this possibility this week but added that the 49ers "want three aggressive practices, and we want to hear from him and make sure he feels good after them, too." Purdy remained limited at Wednesday's practice, but after Thursday's session, offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak told Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News that the fourth-year pro has done more this week than in previous weeks and looks more confident in his movements after contending with a turf toe injury for much of the campaign. Shanahan likely will make the announcement of Purdy returning to the starting lineup for the first time since Week 4 public at some point before week's end.

Smith (quadriceps) is participating in practice Thursday, Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site reports.

Smith is dealing with a quad contusion sustained during Las Vegas' loss to the Broncos on Thursday Night Football in Week 10, so for him to be handling even limited practice reps is a positive sign. Thursday's official practice report will disclose Geno's activity level as he prepares to ramp up for a home matchup against the Cowboys on Monday night. At this stage, there doesn't appear to be serious reason for concern about Smith's availability.

Flacco (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Flacco officially went down as a non-participant Wednesday, so Thursday's limited participation is a step in the right direction. The veteran quarterback is expected to start Cincinnati's next two games, Sunday at Pittsburgh and Week 12 against the Patriots, as Joe Burrow (toe) is targeting Thanksgiving Day against the Ravens as his return date. Flacco played through his shoulder injury and threw for 470 yards in Week 9 against the Bears prior to Cincinnati's Week 10 bye.

Jackson (knee) returned to a full practice Thursday.

Jackson was deemed a 'DNP' on Wednesday due to knee soreness, but a day later he was able to work fully and moved around well in the process, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, which paves the way for Jackson to play Sunday against the Browns. In his last outing, the star QB completed 17 of his 29 pass attempts for 176 yards with a touchdown, while adding nine carries for 36 yards in the Ravens' Week 10 win over the Vikings.

McCarthy (right hand) practiced fully Thursday.

McCarthy opened Week 11 prep Wednesday as limited due to a right hand injury, which stemmed from hitting it on the helmet of a Ravens defender while following through on a throw this past Sunday. He's been wearing padding on the hand in question in practice this week, but on Thursday he was able to take snaps under center and also attempt passes, per Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com. McCarthy's ensuing listing of full indicates that he's good to go ahead of Sunday's game versus the Bears.
