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.

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.
