Tannehill (right shoulder) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Tannehill was listed as a limited practice participant this past week, but he's already been named the team's starting QB for Week 12, per Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.Tannehill missed Miami's past five games with a capsule injury in his throwing shoulder, but he's progressed to the point where the pain associated with his injury has been minimized and the signal-caller is now confident that he can make all the throws he needs to Sunday. Given the potential for a degree of rust and the fact that the Dolphins' wideout corps is banged up, Tannehill is a speculative fantasy play this weekend in shallow leagues, but he's certainly an option in QB-heavy formats.

Jackson is in line to start Sunday against the Raiders, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com.

Fellow quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) almost certainly will not play in Week 12 after sitting out practice all week, which puts Jackson on track to start for the second straight week.

Head coach Adam Gase said Friday morning that there will be no limitations for Tannehill (shoulder), Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

It's a bit unclear whether Gase was referring to Friday's practice or Sunday's game, but regardless, Tannehill remains on track to play and start in Week 12.

Head coach Sean McDermott said Friday morning that Allen (elbow) will start Sunday against the Jaguars "as long as he gets through (Friday's practice)" without issue.

Allen has practiced fully all week, so McDermott's comments simply reaffirm he will be back under center in Week 12 barring any setbacks at Friday's session. His status will be confirmed when the Bills release their final injury report of the week after practice concludes.

McCoy completed 24 of 38 pass attempts for 268 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions during Thursday's 31-23 loss to the Cowboys. He also rushed five times for 28 yards.

McCoy stepped in to replace the injured Alex Smith, matching wits with a tough Dallas defense on the road. He threw touchdown passes to Vernon Davis and Trey Quin in the second and third quarters, respectively, to take the lead, but he threw two of his three interceptions in the latter stages as Dallas came back to win. McCoy clearly isn't afraid to take his shots, but he's going to need to protect the ball better moving forward if Washington is to remain in the playoff hunt. He'll look to do just that in Week 13's Monday night matchup against the Eagles.

Prescott completed 22 of 31 pass attempts for 289 yards and two touchdowns Thursday against the Redskins. He also carried six times for 18 yards and a touchdown during his team's 31-23 win.

Prescott completed 71 percent of his pass attempts and averaged 9.3 yards per attempt as he set a new season high in passing yardage. He was having a rather pedestrian game until the third quarter, when he connected with Amari Cooper for touchdowns of 40 and 90 yards on back-to-back drive. Prescott also continued a string of nice contributions as a ball carrier, scoring his fifth rushing touchdown in the last six games with a nifty five-yard run in the fourth. He's playing his best football of the season and will need to keep it up next Thursday against the high-flying Saints.

Stafford completed 28 of 38 passes for 236 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions in the Lions' 23-16 loss to the Bears on Thursday.

Stafford's final line was adequate in terms of completion percentage and yardage, but an absence of touchdown passes coupled with his two interceptions told the tale of the afternoon. The veteran quarterback's first pick was returned for a touchdown by Eddie Jackson with six minutes remaining and the game deadlocked at 16-16. However, Stafford appeared to be on his way to rallying the Lions for a potential game-tying touchdown before he was intercepted yet again by Kyle Fuller at the Bears' 11-yard line on a third-down throw intended for Michael Roberts. Stafford has both of his multi-interception games over the last three contests, and he's clearly struggling in the absence of receivers Marvin Jones (knee) and the recently-traded Golden Tate. Stafford will look to regroup in a Week 13 battle versus the dominant Rams on Dec. 2.

Darnold (foot) was once again listed as a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Darryl Slater of NJ.com reports.

While Randy Lange of the Jets' official site relays that coach Todd Bowles says it's too early to know who will start at QB for the team Sunday against the Patriots, both Slater and Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News expect that Josh McCown will get the nod. That seems like a probable outcome, with added clarity on that front due to arrive Friday.

Mariota (neck) was listed as limited during Thursday's walk-through practice session, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The QB has been dealing with some numbness in his right arm as a result of a stinger that he suffered this past Sunday against the Colts. With that in mind, coach Mike Vrabel indicated that the team should have a better handle on Mariota's status for Monday night's contest against the Texans as the week progresses. "I think that we'll see on Friday as he comes back out," Vrabel noted Thursday of the Titans' starting signal-caller. "We'll have to throw the football tomorrow; I don't think we threw the ball much today."

The Dolphins listed Tannehill (shoulder) as a limited participant on Thursday's estimated practice report, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

Though coach Adam Gase announced Tuesday that Tannehill would return from a five-game absence to start Sunday's game against the Colts, the quarterback has nonetheless gone down as a limited participant in both of the past two days of practice. There's little indication that Tannehill's limitations were the result of any setbacks, however, as multiple reporters who observed the open portion of Wednesday's session noted that the signal-caller was throwing without any obvious discomfort. Assuming Tannehill is upgraded to full participation for the team's final practice Friday, he should head into the weekend without an injury designation.
