Head coach Matt Nagy said Dalton injured his non-throwing hand in the Bears' 33-22 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday, Adam Hoge of NBCSChicago reports.

Dalton completed 26 of 41 passes for 229 yards with two touchdowns and four interceptions while gaining six yards and two rushing attempts. He was under heavy pressure all day while the Cardinals did a solid job of taking top target Darnell Mooney away. Of his four interceptions, two came on passes that were misplayed by his receivers, though Dalton salvaged his fantasy day with a pair of scoring passes in the second half after the Bears fell behind by 17 points. If his hand injury isn't significant, he'll continue to be a marginal option in leagues that start two quarterbacks until Justin Fields (ribs) returns to the lineup.

Taylor (wrist) completed five of his 13 passing attempts for 45 yards and an interception and ran three times for 15 yards prior to being replaced by Davis Mills in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Colts.

Per Deepi Sidhu of the Texans' official site, Taylor suffered a possible hyperextended wrist in the contest. While coach David Culley noted afterward that the veteran QB probably could have returned, there was some concern that the issue could affect Taylor's ability to grip the ball. With that in mind, consider him day-to-day heading into the team's preparations for next weekend's game against the Seahawks.

Goff completed 25 of 41 passes for 296 yards with three touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's 29-27 win over Minnesota.

Despite playing without D'Andre Swift (shoulder), Goff put together his best game of the season and played nearly half of it with a two-score lead. While a lack of success on third downs eventually allowed the Vikings to claim the lead with under two minutes remaining, Goff ultimately led an improbable touchdown drive that ended with a touchdown strike to Amon-Ra St. Brown as time expired. However, this marked Detroit's first win of the season and Goff still ranks near the bottom of the league with 6.5 yards per pass attempt. Additionally, he still has one or zero pass touchdowns in over half of his games this season while offering minimal rushing upside. Despite the short-term success, Goff will remain an inadvisable fantasy option in Week 14 against Denver.

Murray (ankle) completed 11 of 15 passes for 123 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Cardinals' 33-22 win over the Bears on Sunday. He also rushed 10 times for 59 yards and another pair of scores.

Murray and top wideout DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) both made their returns from three-game absences Sunday, and the duo commemorated the occasion early with a 20-yard touchdown connection early in the first quarter. The dynamic quarterback went on to put the ball up sparingly after that but did so with great efficiency, and he ultimately made it a spectacular fantasy day with a 23-yard touchdown pass to James Conner along with nine- and three-yard touchdown runs. Now having proven a return to full health with his sixth multi-touchdown effort of the season, Murray will look ahead to a Week 14 Monday night showdown at home against the Rams.

McSorley (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Bears, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

When Kyler Murray (ankle) was out, McSorley operated as Colt McCoy's backup during Week 11. However, now that the star quarterback is healthy, McSorley is the odd man.

Hurts, who is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets, has a high ankle sprain but is only expected to miss one game, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday.

After spraining his ankle in Philadelphia's Week 12 loss to the Giants, Hurts practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday through Friday before being ruled out of Sunday's game. His participation in practice suggests this will be a short-term absence, but Glazer's report that the sprain is higher up the ankle adds more uncertainty to his Week 15 availability. However, Hurts will have time to recover with the Eagles on a bye next week. Gardner Minshew will start with Hurts out while Reid Sinnett serves as his backup.

Fields (ribs) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

As expected, Fields will miss his second consecutive contest due to multiple small rib fractures that he suffered back in Week 11. With the rookie first-round pick sidelined, the Bears again will turn to Andy Dalton to direct the offense. Fields' next chance to suit up will arrive Sunday, Dec. 12 at Green Bay.

Sinnett will serve as Gardner Minshew's backup Sunday against the Jets, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

Sinnett went undrafted out of San Diego and previously spent time with the Dolphins this season. He served as Jacoby Brissett's backup while Tua Tagovailoa was out with a rib injury, but he never saw the field. With Jalen Hurts (ankle) out Sunday, Sinnett will serve a similar role, likely only to see snaps if Minshew gets injured.

Hurts (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.

After spraining his ankle in Philadelphia's Week 12 loss to the Giants, Hurts practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday through Friday, but reports leading up to Sunday suggested the Eagles would err on the side of caution and hold the second-year signal-caller out this weekend. Hurts' inclusion on the inactive list for the first time this season thus comes as no surprise, paving the way for Gardner Minshew to pick up a start while Reid Sinnett serves as his backup. Though the presence of Minshew behind center could actually provide an upgrade for the Eagles' pass catchers, he won't be able to match Hurts as a runner. The absence of Hurts -- who ranks fifth in the league in rushing scores (eight) and 10th in rushing yards (695) -- may also help lead back Miles Sanders, who projects to see a larger portion of the Eagles' carries, including more touches in goal-to-go situations. The Eagles are on bye Week 14, so Hurts should have a good chance at returning to the lineup for the team's Week 15 contest Dec. 19 against Washington.

Murray (ankle) is active for Sunday's game at Chicago, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Murray hasn't played since the Cardinals' final offensive play of a Week 8 loss to the Packers, the result of a sprained ankle. In advance of this contest, he logged limited showings in practice -- like he did before Arizona's last game Nov. 21 -- but this time around he'll actually be available and direct the offense. After a three-game absence, Murray will be facing a Bears defense that has allowed the ninth-most YPA (7.7) and 18 touchdowns versus five interceptions to quarterbacks in 11 outings this season.
