Darnold (shoulder) practiced fully Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

That's an upgrade from the QB's limited participation Wednesday. With a full session under his belt, Darnold -- who last suited up in Week 8 -- is now on track to return to action Sunday against the Dolphins, barring a setback.

Tagovailoa (left thumb) remained limited at practice Thursday, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

We'll revisit the QB's status Friday, but Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel relays that coach Brian Flores isn't "too worried about" Tagovailoa as Sunday's game against the Jets approaches. A return to a full session Friday would solidify the signal-caller's Week 12 status heading into the weekend.

Driskel will be placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

According to coach Vic Fangio, the Broncos have been cleared to practice Thursday, and Sunday's contest versus New Orleans does not appear to be at risk. Driskel will need to clear the league's COVID protocols before resuming team activities, but that isn't likely to impact the team's offense much, considering the quarterback is third on the team's depth chart and hasn't taken a snap since Week 4.

Jackson and his teammates will conduct their team activities virtually Thursday, ESPN.com reports.

Per the report, the Ravens had additional positive tests for COVID-19 on Wednesday. The team was originally scheduled to play the Steelers on Thursday, but following the placement of several Baltimore players on the reserve/COVID-19 list, the game was moved to Sunday at 1:15 p.m ET. According to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports, the NFL "continues to closely monitor the situation" in order to decide whether the contest will proceed as currently scheduled.

Tagovailoa was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a left thumb injury, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

The injury is to Tagovailoa's throwing hand, a worrying development after the rookie first-round pick was benched last weekend in Denver after completing just 11 of 20 passes for 83 yards and a touchdown across three quarters. Ryan Fitzpatrick replaced Tagovailoa in the fourth quarter, and the veteran would stand to slot in under center Week 12 against the Jets if the young signal-caller's injury forces him to miss time. As long as Tagovailoa is able to continue practicing on at least a limited basis Thursday and Friday, however, he'll be trending in the right direction for Sunday's game.

Trubisky (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Trubisky handled all the first-team quarterback reps at practice, while Nick Foles (hip) was sidelined for the team's first session coming off a Week 11 bye. Coach Matt Nagy hasn't yet named a starting quarterback for Week 12, but if only one of those options is fully healthy, that decision could make itself. At this time, the Bears are still viewing Foles as day-to-day, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, so Trubisky can't yet be considered a lock to start Sunday in Green Bay.

Murray (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

The Cardinals are still managing Murray's practice reps due to the AC joint injury in his right shoulder that he sustained during last week's loss to the Seahawks, but the team hasn't yet offered any hints that the second-year quarterback is in any real danger of missing time. As long as Murray is able to continue practicing in at least a limited capacity, he should have a good shot at suiting up Sunday against the Patriots. For what it's worth, Arizona head coach Kliff Kingsbury said he feels "positive" about Murray's health, but he still wants to make sure the signal-caller is able to "play at a high level" before clearing him for the Week 12 games, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.

Stafford (thumb) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Texans, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Stafford upgraded to a full practice participation Wednesday after beginning the week with back-to-back limited sessions. The 32-year-old played through a torn ligament in his right thumb during last weekend's loss to the Panthers, which may have contributed to him passing for a season-low 178 yards and no touchdowns in a game the Lions were trailing throughout. Stafford will look to put his injury fully behind him versus the Texans, though he'll have to accomplish that task without two of his top weapons in the passing game in Kenny Golladay (hip) and Danny Amendola (hip).

Bridgewater (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, with coach Matt Rhule saying after the session that he expects the veteran quarterback to play in Sunday's game against Minnesota, Bill Voth of the Panthers' official site reports.

Bridgewater's impending return to the lineup doesn't come as a major surprise after he was nearly cleared to play ahead of Sunday's win over the Lions. His mobility might be a bit limited while he shakes off the knee injury, but the Panthers seem confident Bridgewater will end up missing just the one game.

Jackson and the Ravens won't play the Steelers on Thanksgiving Day after the game was postponed until Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The decision to postpone the contest -- which had been scheduled for 8:20 ET p.m Thursday night -- arrives following the placement of several Baltimore players on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
