Drew Lock QB | SEA
Broncos' Drew Lock: 'Unlikely' for Week 12 activation
Coach Vic Fangio said it's "unlikely but possible" Lock (thumb) is activated from injured reserve in advance of Sunday's game at Buffalo, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
In the event Lock does elevate to the 53-man roster, he'll be the backup to current starting quarterback Brandon Allen. Lock is expected to continue working with the scout team this week, much like he's done since he was designated for return from IR last Tuesday. The Broncos have two weeks remaining to make a decision on Lock, but in the meantime Brett Rypien will serve as the team's No. 2 QB.

Mitch Trubisky QB | TEN
Bears' Mitchell Trubisky: Dealing with hip pointer
Coach Matt Nagy relayed Monday that Trubisky suffered a right hip pointer on a second-quarter sack in Sunday night's 17-7 loss to the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
After the sack, Trubisky was able to stay in the game, but eventually he was replaced by Chase Daniel with 3:34 remaining in the fourth quarter. It remains to be seen if Trubisky will be able to play Week 12, but we should have a better idea of his status for this coming Sunday's tilt against the Giants once the Bears resume practice.

Jameis Winston QB | NYG
Buccaneers' Jameis Winston: Downplays injury
Winston said he expects to be fine after sustaining a medial left ankle sprain in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Saints, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Winston picked up the injury late in the contest, adding to a frustrating day in which he tossed four interceptions to bring his season total to an NFL-high 18. Fortunately for the signal-caller, he was able to move about the locker room Monday without the aid of a boot, suggesting the ankle issue isn't particularly worrisome. Tampa Bay may still restrict his practice reps this week as a result, however, so Winston's status will be worth tracking when the Buccaneers release their first injury report of Week 12 on Wednesday.

Jared Goff QB | DET
Rams' Jared Goff: Does little in victory
Goff completed 11 of 18 pass attempts for 173 yards with no touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 17-7 win over the Bears.
Sunday's primetime matchup featured two teams committed to running the ball to quash the opposition's pass rush, and while the Rams were far more successful in achieving that goal, it led to an unsavory fantasy line for Goff. The 25-year-old has really struggled since coming out of the bye week, completing just 55.9 percent of his passes with no touchdowns and three picks over a two-game span. In Goff's defense, the Steelers and Bears are two of the tougher teams to throw on this season, and he should have a far easier go of things against a Ravens defense on Monday Night Football that ranks in the bottom third of the league in terms of limiting opposing quarterbacks.

Mitch Trubisky QB | TEN
Bears' Mitchell Trubisky: Head coach comments on injury
Head coach Matt Nagy said following Sunday's loss to the Rams that he removed Trubisky from the game in favor of Chase Daniel because Trubisky "wasn't feeling right. His hip was hurting him. We knew a few series earlier."
It's still not exactly clear when Trubisky suffered the injury, but he was able to stay in the game for several drives before ultimately being taken out in favor of Daniel. The severity of Trubisky's injury has still not been disclosed, which leaves his status for the Bears' Week 12 matchup with the Giants uncertain until more details emerge.

Mitch Trubisky QB | TEN
Bears' Mitchell Trubisky: Leaves with hip injury
Trubisky left Sunday's game against the Rams with a hip injury.
Trubisky played nearly the entire game, but it was Chase Daniel who quarterbacked the Bears on the their final drive of Sunday's contest. Trubisky's status will be updated again when the Bears release more information regarding his injury. He completed 24 of 43 passes for 190 yards and threw both one touchdown and one interception before departing the game.

Derek Carr QB | NO
Raiders' Derek Carr: Accounts for two TDs vs. Bengals
Carr completed 25 of 29 pass attempts for 292 yards, one touchdown and one interception Sunday against the Bengals. He also carried five times for one yard and a touchdown during the 17-10 win.
Carr was quite effective as a passer, completing 86 percent of his passes while averaging an impressive 10.1 yards per attempt. He came within a yard of his season high in passing yardage, while his multi-touchdown effort was his sixth in the last eight contests. Carr has thrived in favorable matchups this season and will look to do so again next Sunday against the Jets.

Jimmy Garoppolo QB | LAR
49ers' Jimmy Garoppolo: Huge performance in comeback win
Garoppolo completed 34 of 45 passes for a career-high 424 yards and four touchdowns with two interceptions in Sunday's 36-26 win over the Cardinals.
The Niners shockingly found themselves in a 16-0 hole midway through the second quarter, forcing Kyle Shanahan to ditch his running attack and put the ball in Garoppolo's hands. The quarterback made the comeback more difficult with his two picks, one a terrible toss in the red zone, but he still put together a phenomenal performance, especially considering George Kittle (knee) was inactive and Emmanuel Sanders (ribs) was clearly less than 100 percent. Garoppolo's carelessness with the ball remains a concern, as he's thrown at least one INT in eight of 10 games this season, but his 18 TD passes have helped make up for it -- although eight of them have come in his two games against the Cards, who he won't get to face again this year.

Sam Darnold QB | SEA
Jets' Sam Darnold: Throws four touchdowns
Darnold completed 19 of 30 passes for 293 yards, four touchdowns and one interception in Week 11 against the Redskins.
Darnold worked very efficiently, needing only 30 pass attempts to post his highest-yardage total since Week 6. He also hit on four touchdowns from 20, six, 16 and 19 yards to post a single-game, career-best mark. Though positive matchups may explain much of his production, Darnold has now completed 65 of 99 attempts for 783 yards, six touchdowns and two interceptions across his last three contests. He'll look to keep things going with another exploitable opponent as the Jets take on Oakland in Week 12.

Kyler Murray QB | MIN
Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Produces three TDs in loss
Murray completed 24 of 33 passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns while gaining 67 rushing yards and a TD on eight carries in Sunday's 36-26 loss to the 49ers.
The San Francisco defense did a fairly good job shutting down Arizona's passing game, but it couldn't contain Murray's scrambling, as the rookie QB picked up his third rushing score of the year while also throwing multiple TDs for the third straight game. The No. 1 pick in the 2019 draft is putting together a strong first season in the NFL, and he'll get a well-earned break during the Cards' bye before the team hosts the Rams in Week 13.
