Jackson, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers, is dealing with a bone bruise in his right ankle, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Previous reports referred to the injury that clouds the quarterback's Week 15 status as an ankle sprain, per Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site. As Schefter notes, the Ravens weren't optimistic about Jackson's availability to play against the Packers earlier in the week, but with the signal-caller reportedly moving around better of late, that possibility hasn't yet been ruled out. If Jackson ultimately doesn't gain clearance to start, Tyler Huntley would get the nod in his place. Look for added clarity on the situation to arrive closer to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Jones completed 26 of 45 passes for 299 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions in Saturday's 27-17 loss to the Colts. He also gained 12 yards on his lone rush.

The Patriots found themselves in a 17-0 hole at halftime, forcing Jones to air it out a lot more than usual. As a result, the rookie attempted at least 40 passes for only the third time this season and came within a yard of his third career 300-yard game. He also made some rookie mistakes however, including his first career red-zone INT. Jones has now eclipsed 3,000 passing yards on the year, and he'll take a solid 18:10 TD:INT into a Week 16 rematch with the Bills that could well wind up determining the AFC East champion.

The status of Jackson (ankle) remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

Though Jackson didn't practice all week, coach John Harbaugh noted that the quarterback still "has a chance" to play Sunday. With that in mind, a call on Jackson's Week 15 status could go down to the wire in advance of Baltimore's 4:25 ET kickoff. If he's unable to start, Tyler Huntley would get the nod in his place, with Josh Johnson on hand to back him up. Look for added context with regard to Jackson's playing prospects to arrive late Saturday or early Sunday, when the likes of Adam Schefter of ESPN and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network provide their weekly injury updates.

Jackson (ankle) may not draw the start in Sunday's game against the Packers, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Jackson, who did not practice this past week, is officially listed as questionable for the contest and the Ravens have indicated that a call on the QB's status could go down to the wire. However, Rapoport has suggesed that Jackson's low-ankle sprain may have him trending toward yielding the Week 15 starting nod to Tyler Huntley. In any case, this is a situation worth monitoring closely as Sunday's 4:25 ET kickoff approaches.

Watson's agent said the quarterback is "super confident" in how his legal situation will play out, Greg Rajan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Agent David Mulugheta touched on Watson's situation in a wide-ranging interview on the "Face/First" podcast hosted by Ryan Clark, an ESPN analyst and former NFL safety. Mulugheta could not get into specifics, but he made several references to "the truth" coming out. "We're pretty confident how this thing plays out. He's super confident in how it plays out," the agent said. "(In) today's society, unfortunately it's not about who's right, it's about who's first. So it's unfortunate but as somebody who's considered ... a public figure (there's) certain things you've got to deal with." Watson faces 22 civil lawsuits alleging sexual assault and misconduct as investigations by the Houston Police Department, FBI and NFL are ongoing.

The Browns placed Keenum (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.

News of Keenum testing positive for the virus first arrived Thursday, but the Browns didn't officially deactivate him until a day later. Because of the Browns' mounting COVID-19 concerns, the NFL officially moved the team's Week 15 game against the Raiders from its originally scheduled date (Saturday). The Browns and Raiders are now scheduled to play Monday at 5 p.m. ET, and the two-day delay coupled with the NFL's newly updated COVID-19 return-to-play protocols could give both Keenum and Baker Mayfield -- who tested positive Wednesday -- a chance to play Week 15. If neither Keenum nor Mayfield is available, the Browns will turn to Nick Mullens to serve as their starting quarterback.

The Bears placed Dalton (hand) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.

Dalton and cornerback Duke Shelley were deactivated for COVID-19-related reasons, becoming the 12th and 13th players on the roster to land on the list. Unless Dalton is quickly able to clear the necessary protocols in short order, he'll be sidelined for Monday's game against the Vikings. If that's the case, Nick Foles would serve as the understudy to starting quarterback Justin Fields.

Watson (not injury-related) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

While Watson is slated to land on the inactive list as he has all season long, Davis Mills is on track to handle Houston's starting quarterback duties this weekend, with Tyrod Taylor set to serve as his backup.

Jackson (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers after not practicing this week, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

That said, the Ravens are still holding out hope that the quarterback could be available for Sunday's game, which kicks off at 4:25 p.m. ET. Per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, head coach John Harbaugh suggested a decision on Jackson's status will likely be made after the signal-caller is evaluate in a pregame warmup. Look for added context with regard to Jackson's Week 15 playing prospects by late Saturday or early Sunday, when the likes of Adam Schefter of ESPN and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network provide their weekly injury updates. If Jackson isn't able to play this weekend, Tyler Huntley would start in his place, with Josh Johnson on hand to back him up.

Rodgers (toe) has no injury designation for Sunday's game in Baltimore, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Rodgers sat out all three practices this week, just as he did Week 12 leading up to a win over the Rams. He then managed one limited practice last week before a victory over the Bears, but Rodgers scaled back this week after aggravating his toe in that game. So far, the toe fracture hasn't hurt his performance, with the veteran QB putting up three straight games of 300-plus yards and multiple touchdown passes.
