Hurts (ankle) will participate in Wednesday's walk-through practice, with head coach Nick Sirianni noting that he expects the quarterback to play Sunday against the Jets, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Hurts came out of last weekend's 13-7 loss to the Giants with an ankle injury, and while he seemingly expects to play through it, his participation in the walk-through session doesn't come with any guarantees. Continued practice participation Thursday would be a stronger sign in favor of Hurts suiting up, though Sirianni said he'll have contingency plans in case his starter can't play or has limited mobility, per Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal. Gardner Minshew is the Eagles' lone backup quarterback after the team traded Joe Flacco to the Jets in October.

Giants head coach Joe Judge said Wednesday that he expects Jones (neck) to participate in practice, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Per Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site, Judge also said he expects Jones to practice Thursday and Friday, and the coach isn't yet counting out the quarterback from playing Sunday in Miami. That said, Jones already has been labeled week-to-week due to a neck strain, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, making it more likely than not that the signal-caller misses his first game of the season. Mike Glennon will be available for a spot start if Jones indeed can't go, while the Giants also recently signed Jake Fromm off the Bills' practice squad to serve as a backup option.

The Giants have signed Fromm from the Bills' practice squad, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Fromm spent the first half of the month on Buffalo's practice squad COVID-19 list. With Daniel Jones (neck) deemed doubtful for New York's Week 13 matchup with the Dolphins, the Georgia product projects to back up Mike Glennon under center should Jones not be able to go. Fromm has yet to see any snaps on the field during his young NFL tenure.

Jones (neck) is considered week-to-week and unlikely to play Sunday at Miami, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Apparently, Jones strained his neck early on during the Giants' Week 12 win versus the Eagles. He proceeded to log all 58 offensive snaps on his way to 19-for-30 passing for 202 yards and one touchdown to go with nine rushes for 30 yards. The aforementioned injury now threatens his availability in the short term, with Mike Glennon in line to earn spot starts as long as Jones is sidelined.

Jones strained his neck during the Giants' Week 12 win against the Eagles, and his status is up in the air for Sunday's game at Miami, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Aside from Week 4, when he sustained a concussion, Jones has played 100 percent of the offensive snaps in each of the Giants' other 10 games this season. He managed to complete 19 of 30 passes for 202 yards and one touchdown while taking nine carries for 30 yards this past Sunday, but with an injury in tow he's poised to have some practice limitations this week. Wednesday's injury report will inform how Jones kicks off Week 13 prep.

Rodgers relayed on Tuesday's episode of The Pat McAfee Show that a procedure on his pinky toe remains a possibility. "We're hoping to avoid surgery obviously, but it'd be so minor that I wouldn't miss any time," Rodgers said. "I could have the surgery on Monday or Tuesday and play on Sunday."

The Packers have hit their bye week, and Rodgers himself enters it with a broken toe that he's played on for three straight contests. The team will evaluate his health either later this week or early next week with the hope that rest and treatment will get his toe back to 100 percent. At that point, a decision will be made on whether surgery is the correct course of action. Whatever Rodgers and the Packers decide to do, there seems to be no worry about the quarterback suiting up for their next game Sunday, Dec. 12 against the Bears.

Heinicke completed 27 of 35 passes for 223 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Monday night's 17-15 win over the Seahawks.

Heinicke helped Washington move the ball and dominate possession by playing his usual crafty brand of quarterback. The signal-caller found tailback J.D. McKissic for a 10-yard touchdown prior to halftime, then hit Terry McLaurin for a 20-yard gain on a scoring drive to begin the third quarter. Although he had another touchdown overturned late in the fourth, Heinicke still did enough to lead his team to a third straight victory, putting him in good standing ahead of Week 13's trip to play the Raiders.

Wilson completed 20 of 31 passes for 247 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 17-15 loss to Washington. He also rushed twice for 16 yards.

Wilson and Seattle's offense once again struggled to move the ball and produce points. In fact, he led the team in rushing and 94 of his passing yards came on two plays to Tyler Lockett. Besides that, his two leaders in receptions, Gerald Everett and DeeJay Dallas, totaled 64 yards on their 10 combined grabs. Meanwhile, star wideout DK Metcalf's lone, 13-yard catch didn't come until there was just over a minute left. Although Wilson salvaged some value with a touchdown to Everett early and Freddie Swain late, his two-point conversion attempt with 15 seconds remaining was intercepted, capping a frustrating showing from the signal-caller.

White (llness) isn't expected to clear COVID-19 protocols this week, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

White was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list last week after testing positive for the virus, and it's unlikely he returns to the active roster this week. Joe Flacco also was sidelined for Week 12 as a close contact, but he cleared league protocols before being activated Monday.

Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Wilson is expected to be a full participant in practice this week after he appeared to tweak his right knee in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Texans, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

After missing the Jets' previous four games while recovering from a PCL sprain of his right knee, Wilson was cleared to reclaim the starting job Sunday after turning in a week of full practices beforehand. The time off didn't seem to help Wilson much from a performance standpoint, as he struggled to move the ball against a struggling Texans squad and finished the day with 14 completions for 145 yards and an interception on 24 attempts (6.0 YPA). He added three yards on two carries and scored a pivotal second-half goal-line touchdown, but he created some concern when he told reporters after the contest that he was still experiencing some instability in his right knee. Even so, the Jets don't appear concerned that Wilson suffered any sort of setback, so as long as he's back on the field as a full participant in the next few days as Saleh expects, the rookie signal-caller should be ready to go for the team's Week 13 matchup with the Eagles.
