Hurts is dealing with left ankle soreness following Sunday's loss to the Giants, Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Hurts struggled in Sunday's matchup and completed 14 of 31 passes for 129 yards and three interceptions while rushing eight times for 77 yards. It's not yet clear whether the issue will impact the quarterback's availability for Sunday's Week 13 contest against the Jets, but coach Nick Sirianni said Monday that the team will have a better idea of the 23-year-old's status Wednesday. If Hurts is unavailable Sunday, Gardner Minshew likely would take on a starting role.

Siemian was working with the Saints' No. 2 offense during Monday's practice session, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Siemian had served as the starting quarterback in each of the last four games, but he struggled in Thursday's loss to Buffalo. He completed 17 of 29 passes for 163 yards, a touchdown and an interception while rushing three times for three yards on Thanksgiving Day. Taysom Hill has been dealing with a plantar fascia injury recently but worked with the first-team offense Monday.

Rodgers doesn't plan to undergo surgery on his fractured left pinky toe while the Packers are on bye Week 13, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Rodgers has been hindered by the toe injury in each of his three games since returning from the reserve/COVID-19 list, but he's hopeful that the toe will have time to heal and improve during the bye week. While the quarterback hasn't ruled out having a procedure at a later time, his decision to forgo surgery for the time being puts him in line to play when Green Bay returns to action Dec. 12 against the Bears.

Coach Vic Fangio said Monday that Bridgewater (shin) is feeling better, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Bridgewater briefly exited Sunday's win over the Chargers but was able to play through a shin injury during the second half. While his workload likely will be monitored ahead of a Week 13 road matchup against Kansas City, Fangio said that he isn't too concerned about the quarterback's status going forward.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Monday he's "hopeful" Murray (ankle) will be available against the Bears on Sunday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Kingsbury said he won't confirm Murray's availability until after seeing the quarterback at practice throughout the week, and the same goes for star wideout DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring). There's at least hope that both of Arizona's top offensive playmakers will be back in action coming off a bye, but fantasy managers will need to continue monitoring the situation until official confirmation is given.

Coach Matt Rhule said Monday that Darnold (shoulder) has resumed throwing "some" and will be further evaluated after the Panthers' Week 13 bye, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

It was previously reported that the Panthers intend to proceed as if Darnold wouldn't be available again this season, even though the recovery timetable for the partial non-displaced fracture of his right scapula could allow him to return around Week 16. That was before replacement Cam Newton's disastrous performance and subsequent benching during Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, however. With a 5-7-0 record and four divisional matchups remaining, Carolina is still in contention for a playoff berth, so Rhule will explore every option at quarterback. Of course, there's no guarantee Darnold recovers in time to feasibly retake the field during the regular season, so his progression will need to be monitored after the team's bye.

Walker completed five of 10 passes for 87 yards and an interception in Sunday's 33-10 loss to the Dolphins.

Walker replaced the ineffective Cam Newton with just over 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter and Carolina trailing by 20 points. Operating in hurry-up mode, Walker had difficulties of his own, throwing a pick while being sacked four times. With the Panthers now entering their bye week, Newton should have more time to familiarize himself with the offense, but Walker would stand to come off the bench should Newton underwhelm again.

Mayfield (shoulder/foot/groin) completed 18 of 37 pass attempts for 247 yards and a touchdown while losing a fumble in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Ravens.

Mayfield continued his recent trend of poor play, as he now has four turnovers over his last three games while barely clearing a 50 percent completion rate during that span. The banged-up quarterback clearly is not meeting the requirements for a starting fantasy option, but we also know that he isn't as bad as he's shown over this recent slump. Perhaps the upcoming bye week could help alleviate the multiple injuries Mayfield has been playing through, but he isn't worth rostering as a standard-league option in his current form.

Jackson completed 20 of 32 pass attempts for 165 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions while adding 68 rushing yards on 17 attempts in Sunday's 16-10 win over Cleveland.

Jackson struggled mightily against one of the league's top pass defenses, finishing with a season low in passing yards (165) and a high in turnovers (four). The star quarterback's elite rushing abilities helped salvage what would have been a near net zero in passing fantasy production. Still, this type of performance didn't help fantasy managers in the same way Jackson's clutch finish helped the Ravens secure victory. Luckily for his managers, poor showings such as these are far and few between. Jackson will look to re-establish himself as an elite fantasy quarterback in another AFC North showdown against the Steelers next Sunday.

Garoppolo completed 17 of 26 passes for 230 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Vikings.

Two rushing TDs from Deebo Samuel (groin) and one from Elijah Mitchell accounted for most of the Niners' offense, but Garoppolo chipped in with a three-yard strike to Jauan Jennings just before halftime. The 30-year-old QB continued his recent run of efficiency, posting a YPA of 8.0 or better for the fifth straight game, and he'll look to stay sharp in Week 13 against the Seahawks.
