Lock (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.

While coach Vic Fangio acknowledged that Lock was "a little sore" Friday after he was cleared to resume Thursday, Fangio added that he "didn't see too much altering" in the quarterback's delivery. According to Mike Klis of 9News Denver, Fangio noted that the Broncos would likely decide on a starter for the Week 11 matchup by the end of the day Saturday, so fantasy players should have a good idea whether Lock will be ready to go well in advance of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. Brett Rypien split reps with Lock at practice the past two days, so Rypien would presumably receive the starting nod over Jeff Driskel if Lock ends up inactive.

Murray suffered an AC joint injury to his throwing shoulder during Thursday's loss to Seattle, but the Cardinals expect him to be fine for their next game Nov. 29 against the Patriots, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Murray was checked out by the medical staff at least once or twice during Thursday's game, but he never missed a snap and still managed to throw for 269 yards and a pair of touchdowns. While a lack of rushing production made it his worst performance of the season from a fantasy standpoint, Murray downplayed his shoulder injury after the contest, simply saying "I'm good" when reporters asked him about it, per Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official website.

Bridgewater (knee) is listed as questionable on the Panthers' final injury report, with head coach Matt Rhule saying the quarterback likely will be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Lions, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Reports after Thursday's practice were pessimistic, but Bridgewater apparently looked better Friday while participating in a limited capacity for the third straight day. Rhule is avoiding the question of who will start at quarterback in the event Bridgewater is inactive, saying Friday that he isn't ready to declare either P.J. Walker or Will Grier as the replacement. It's a tricky situation for fantasy managers to navigate, but a 1 p.m. ET kickoff at least makes things a little easier, with clarity on the Panthers' plans at quarterback likely to come by 11:30 a.m. at the latest.

The Jaguars list Minshew (thumb) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Minshew saw some limited work at practice this week, but the team relayed earlier in the week that Jake Luton would be the starting quarterback against Pittsburgh. Unless there's been a change in that plan, Minshew will either be made inactive or serve as a backup Sunday.

The Panthers remain hopeful that Bridgewater (knee) will be able to start Sunday's game against the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

A report Thursday suggested the veteran quarterback was unlikely to play, but he apparently looked better Friday, potentially putting him on track to carry a questionable designation into Sunday's game. The Panthers haven't clarified whom might start at quarterback if Bridgewater can't play, as the team has both P.J. Walker and Will Grier on its roster.

The Lions expect Stafford (thumb) to play Sunday against the Panthers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Stafford was held out of Wednesday's practice while tending to a ligament injury to his right thumb. He then returned Thursday as a limited participant, and he apparently looked good enough to make the Lions feel confident in his availability for Sunday. Teammates D'Andre Swift (concussion), Kenny Golladay (hip) and Danny Amendola (hip) may not be as fortunate, with each of the three missing Friday's practice and seemingly trending toward sitting out the Week 11 contest.

Coach Adam Gase said Friday that Darnold (shoulder) has a "good shot" to return to action the Jets' Week 12 game against the Dolphins, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports .

Darnold has already been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers due to a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder, paving the way for Joe Flacco to draw another start. The 23-year-old is trending in the right direction for Week 12, but his activity in practice next week will ultimately dictate whether or not he's fit to play. Darnold has just 1,045 passing yards and a 3:6 TD:INT through six appearances.

Winston will serve as the backup to Taysom Hill during Sunday's game against the Falcons, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Winston was thrust into action after Drew Brees (chest) exited last weekend's win over San Francisco, but he was lackluster in completing just six of 10 pass attempts for 63 yards despite playing the entire second half. Coach Sean Payton has since elected to allow Hill the entire portion of starting reps at practice, and Schefter reports that Winston won't be involved in any offensive packages against the Falcons -- two hints suggesting the decision to roll with Hill under center is a firm one. Even with Brees on track to miss at least 2-to-3 weeks, it looks like Winston may not get another chance to enter the lineup unless Hill really struggles.

Lock (ribs) is expected to be limited at Friday's practice and continue splitting quarterback reps with Brett Rypien, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

The 24-year-old is apparently trending in the right direction for Sunday's matchup with the Dolphins, but he isn't expected to significantly increase his practice work in the Broncos' final practice of the week. Lock seems likely to be considered questionable for Week 11, but his status won't receive official clarity until the injury report is released later Friday.

Wilson completed 23 of 28 passes for 197 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Seahawks' 28-21 win over the Cardinals on Thursday night. He also rushed 10 times for 42 yards and was charged with two fumbles, including one on a pitchback toss that Carlos Hyde mishandled, but both were recovered by Seattle.

Wilson checked in under 200 passing yards for the first time all season, but he turned in a much-needed turnover-free effort devoid of some of the risky throws and questionable decisions that had characterized his play in recent contests. Wilson had thrown seven of his 10 interceptions on the campaign in three of his prior four games, but Thursday, he appeared to stick to what the defense gave him and picked his spots effectively. Two of those came on scoring strikes of 25 and 11 yards to DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, respectively, in the first half. Wilson would go on to connect with eight different pass catchers overall on the night while posting only his second interception-free performance since Week 3. He'll now look to carry over the momentum into a Week 12 Monday night matchup against the Eagles on Nov. 30.
