McCoy (pectoral) was limited at practice Wednesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

McCoy has filled in for an absent Kyler Murray (ankle) for most of the past two games, completing 33 of 46 passes for 356 yards, one touchdown and one interception while turning eight carries into 22 yards. However, McCoy made an early exit in last Sunday's loss to the Panthers and eventually was diagnosed with a strained pectoral. Per Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site, head coach Kliff Kingsbury said Wednesday that McCoy is "OK," while Murray "has just gotten better every day." Arizona's quarterback situation remains fluid, with any of Murray, McCoy or Chris Streveler representing potential starting signal-callers for the team this weekend at Seattle.

Murray (ankle) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

As he did last Friday, Murray mixed into drills to kick off Week 11 prep. Earlier Wednesday, when he was asked whether he would return from a two-game absence Sunday at Seattle, Murray told Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site that he's "pretty close" to playing again. Meanwhile, Murray's backup, Colt McCoy, was limited Wednesday due to the pectoral injury that knocked him out of the Week 10 loss to the Panthers. If Murray and McCoy are unable to go this weekend, Chris Streveler is the next quarterback up for the Cardinals.

Rodgers didn't practice Wednesday due to a toe injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

A number of Packers veterans received maintenance days for Wednesday's walk-through session. Among them, Rodgers, Allen Lazard (shoulder) and David Bakhtiari (knee) didn't practice at all, while Davante Adams (shoulder) was limited. Afterward, Rodgers told Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette that he's "definitely playing Sunday" at Minnesota, all but confirming his toe issue is nothing to worry about. As a result, Rodgers is a good bet to get back on the practice field as a full participant this week, potentially as soon as Thursday.

Brissett (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Brissett's lack of limitations to begin Week 11 doesn't come as a major surprise, as he appeared ready to return shortly after suffering the knee injury during last Thursday's win over the Ravens. However, Tua Tagovailoa (finger) entered the game and played well, inspiring coach Brian Flores to leave Brissett on the bench for the rest of the night. According to Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald, Flores reiterated prior to Wednesday's practice that he expects Brissett move into his familiar backup role Sunday against the Jets, provided Tagovailoa can make it through the week of workouts without any setbacks with the fractured finger on his throwing hand.

Tagovailoa (finger) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Head coach Brian Flores said Monday that he expected Tagovailoa to return to the starting lineup Sunday against the Jets, following an effective appearance off the bench in last Thursday's 22-10 win over Baltimore. The Dolphins want to see how Tagovailoa looks in practice before they commit to him starting, as the fractured finger on his left hand apparently is still more of a concern than Jacoby Brissett's recent knee injury (Brissett was a full participant Wednesday). According toDaniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald, Tagovailoa is scheduled to take most of the first-team reps in practice this week after Brissett did so last week, which supports the notion that the second-year quarterback appears to be trending toward getting the start.

Goff (oblique) admitted Wednesday that his availability for Sunday's game against Cleveland will depend on "functionality," as he anticipates the pain will be manageable, Chris Burke of The Athletic reports.

Though Goff still hopes to play, he's singing a different tune from after the Lions' 16-16 tie with the Steelers this past weekend, when he said he would be fine moving forward. While he managed to play the entire game despite injuring his oblique in the first quarter, Goff may have found that the issue was more serious than he thought once the adrenaline wore off. He was held out of practice Wednesday, ceding first-string quarterback duties to Tim Boyle (thumb), who presumably is on track to be activated from injured reserve before Sunday.

Rodgers wasn't present at the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Rodgers made his return from a one-game absence this past Sunday against the Seahawks after a bout with COVID-19. The Packers didn't mention that he picked up any sort of injury during the team's 17-0 win, but Demovsky hinted Rodgers could be dealing with a toe issue. Rodgers also may be getting the day off for maintenance purposes, so his listing on Wednesday's practice report will be of keen interest.

Mayfield won't practice Wednesday due to foot, knee and left shoulder injuries, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

The fact that the signal-caller won't be on the field to begin Week 11 prep is no surprise, with Dan Labbe of The Cleveland Plain Dealer relaying that Mayfield has acknowledged that he's more banged up than he has been at any point of his career on the heels of a blowout loss to the Patriots in Week 10. Mayfield picked up a bruised right knee coming out of that contest in addition to the left foot injury he sustained Week 9 and the torn labrum and fracture of his non-throwing shoulder that first cropped up Week 2. That said, Mayfield still believes he'll play Sunday against the Lions, though he'll still likely head into the weekend with an injury designation.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Jackson will miss practice Wednesday due to a non-COVID-19-related illness, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

The quarterback's status will be worth monitoring this week, but Jackson will still have two more opportunities to practice in advance of Sunday's game against the Bears. In Jackson's absence from practice Wednesday, Tyler Huntley will direct the first-team offense.

Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Wilson (knee) won't be active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

Confirming multiple reports from earlier Wednesday, Saleh said Mike White -- who started the past three games in place of an injured Wilson -- is slated back up Joe Flacco on Sunday. Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record relays that Wilson, who is still working back from a PCL sprain of his right knee, is viewed as day-to-day and could reclaim starting duties as soon as Week 12 in Houston if he continues to make solid progress in practices. Per Eric Allen of the team's official site, the Jets plan to have Wilson practice in a limited fashion this week, with Saleh noting that the rookie quarterback hasn't suffered any setbacks since returning to practice Week 10 but is not yet 100 percent healthy.
