Coach Vic Fangio said after Sunday's loss to the Broncos that everything has "checked out good" for Bridgewater (head) at the hospital, and Fangio believes the quarterback will be fine, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Bridgewater will stay at the hospital overnight for observation, but it sounds like he avoided a major injury, which is great news after he was carted off with a head injury against the Bengals. Drew Lock threw a touchdown pass after replacing Bridgewater but failed to complete the comeback in the 15-10 loss. It's too early to say which quarterback will start against the Raiders in Week 16.

Bridgewater (head) was taken to a Denver area hospital after he was carted off the field during the third quarter of Sunday's game versus the Bengals, Patrick Smyth of the Broncos' official site reports.

The decision is a precautionary measure after Bridgewater sustained a head injury at the end of a scramble that left him prone on the turf. Fortunately for the quarterback, he has movement in all his extremities. With Bridgewater out, Denver turned to Drew Lock to direct the offense.

Wilson completed 13 of 23 passes for 170 yards without a touchdown or interception in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Dolphins. He added 12 yards and a touchdown on four rushing attempts and lost a fumble.

Wilson has been plagued by slow starts this season, but that wasn't the case in this one, as he completed all five of his passes for 55 yards on the Jets' first drive, leading to a Braxton Berrios rushing touchdown. He built on that hot start and scored a one-yard rushing touchdown of his own in the second quarter, helping New York take a 17-10 lead into the locker room. New York's offense went dormant after halftime, however, with the Jets' only points of the second half coming on a pick-six by the defense. Wilson hasn't put together many complete performances in his rookie season, though injuries to the Jets' playmakers down the stretch haven't made things easy for him. Perhaps a Week 16 visit from the Jaguars will offer an opportunity for Wilson to find success despite his lack of weapons.

Bridgewater (undisclosed) was carted off the field during the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Bengals, George Stoia III of The Denver Gazette reports.

At the end of a scramble, Bridgewater tumbled face-mask first into the turf and didn't move for some time. The Broncos' medical staff carefully moved him onto his back, onto a backboard and eventually onto the cart immobilized. The nature and extent of the injury aren't yet known, but Drew Lock will take over for Bridgewater under center.

Tagovailoa completed 16 of 27 passes for 196 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Jets. He added 19 yards on seven rushing attempts.

Tagovailoa got off to an awful start while adjusting to the absence of favorite target Jaylen Waddle (illness). He recovered his own fumble on the game's third play but was immediately tackled to create a three-and-out on Miami's opening drive, then threw an interception on his first pass of the game to lead off the following drive. New York took advantage of Tua's early struggles and raced out to a 10-0 lead, but the Dolphins responded with a pair of Duke Johnson rushing touchdowns and a one-yard Tagovailoa touchdown pass to defensive lineman Christian Wilkins to take a 24-17 lead. Tua then tied it for the Jets with a pick-six but bounced back by throwing the game-winning touchdown to DeVante Parker from 11 yards out with 3:37 remaining. He led the Dolphins to a sixth consecutive win but will need to clean up the errors in order to extend that streak in Week 16 against the Saints.

Tannehill completed 23 of his 32 passes for 153 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 19-13 loss to Pittsburgh. He added five rushes for 18 yards and a score on the ground.

Tannehill continued his dreadful performance through the air, turning in his third consecutive game without reaching 200 passing yards. That has coincided with A.J. Brown (chest) being sidelined, and Julio Jones being a non-factor while also re-injuring his hamstring. Tannehill did manage to salvage his performance with a one-yard rushing score midway through the first quarter. Though he's now found the end zone as a rusher in four of his last six games, Tannehill has failed to throw for multiple touchdowns in that same six-contest span.

Hurts (ankle) was listed as a full participant on Sunday's injury report.

Hurts opened Week 15 prep with consecutive 'limited' listings before the Eagles bumped him up to full Friday and called him questionable for a Week 15 game against Washington. But that's before the NFL moved back the scheduled Sunday matchup to Tuesday due to a significant amount of Washington players residing on the reserve/COVID-19 list. With additional time to get his sprained left ankle healthier, Hurts has continued to log full practices and may head into Tuesday without a designation whatsoever. If he does, it would mark his first action since Week 12. On the other hand, an inactive Hurts would yield to Gardner Minshew, who racked up 242 yards and two touchdowns through the air in a spot start Week 13 at the Jets.

Lawrence completed 22 of 38 passes for 210 yards with zero touchdowns or interceptions during Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Texans. He also had five carries for 21 yards.

Lawrence took care of the ball Sunday after throwing four interceptions last week, but he averaged just 5.5 yards per attempt as the offense managed only one touchdown. The rookie No. 1 overall pick has thrown only two touchdowns in eight games since Jacksonville's Week 7 bye, which is contrasted by six interceptions and four fumbles (one lost) during that stretch.

Mills completed 19 of 30 passes for 209 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Texans' 30-16 win over the Jaguars on Sunday. He also rushed once for two yards.

The rookie signal-caller didn't put up anywhere as pretty a stat line as in the Week 14 loss to the Seahawks, but Mills was more than serviceable on the road against a division opponent. Mills connected with favorite target Brandin Cooks for both of his touchdown tosses, with the speedster doing almost all the work on the second, a 43-yarder in the fourth quarter. Mills appears to have benefited plenty from the experience he garnered while starting in Tyrod Taylor's stead earlier in the season, but he may have an uphill battle trying to add to his recent solid body of work in a Week 16 home date versus a stingy Chargers secondary.

Goff completed 21 of 26 passes for 216 yards and three touchdowns during Sunday's 30-12 win over Arizona.

In what might be the most surprising upset of the season, Goff only needed to throw 26 passes to lead the short-handed Lions to a rout over the heavily favored Cardinals with Craig Reynolds, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Josh Reynolds as his top weapons. While it's not clear if Detroit is turning a corner with head coach Dan Campbell now calling the plays, Goff has thrown three touchdowns in two of the past three games and the Lions are now 2-2-1 overall with Campbell at the helm of the offense. Although Goff won't be getting T.J. Hockenson (finger) back this year, D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and Jamaal Williams (illness) could return for a Week 16 matchup with an Atlanta defense that is 31st in fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks.
