  • Jameis Winston QB | NYG

    Buccaneers' Jameis Winston: Inaccurate in divisional loss

    Winston completed 18 of 38 passes for 213 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Buccaneers' 28-14 loss to the Saints on Sunday. He also rushed five times for 47 yards.

    Winston's completion percentage dipped under 50.0 percent for the first time this season, although he did extend his streak of two-touchdown games to four. The four-year pro also posted a season-low 5.6 YPA, but he continued to provide some unexpected production on the ground by rushing for over 45 yards for a second consecutive week. Winston's one interception came on a last-gasp heave to Mike Evans with nine seconds remaining, a pass Marshon Lattimore brought down in the end zone. Winston will look to improve his overall numbers against the formidable Ravens defense in a Week 15 interconference battle.

  • Josh Johnson QB | CIN

    Redskins' Josh Johnson: Slated to start Week 15

    Coach Jay Gruden called Johnson the Redskins' starting quarterback Week 15 at Jacksonville, Tarik El-Bashir of The Athletic reports.

    At the 5:31 mark of the third quarter, Johnson took over for Mark Sanchez, who led the Redskins to just 19 yards on their first 10 possessions. Thereafter, Johnson led a pair of touchdown drives en route to 195 yards, one TD and one interception on 11-for-16 passing. The performance is an impressive one with less than a week in the program, and he clearly fared better than Sanchez, making Gruden's decision an easy one.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Exits game late

    Robert Griffin finished up Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Chiefs after Jackson exited the game late in overtime with an unspecified injury.

    Prior to being forced out of the game, Jackson completed 13 of 24 passes for 147 yards and two TDs and ran 13 times for 71 yards. His status will be worth monitoring in the coming days, especially with the health of fellow QB Joe Flacco (hip) improving.

  • Lions' Matthew Stafford: Suiting up Week 14

    Stafford (back) is listed as active Sunday in Arizona, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

    Stafford will shrug off the back injury that limited him in practice all week, making his 125th start in a row in the process. Although he can be relied upon to be available from game to game, his current weapons don't give him the best chance to succeed. With Golden Tate in Philadelphia, Marvin Jones (knee) on injured reserve and Kerryon Johnson (knee) inactive, Stafford has had modest production the last two contests, totaling 481 yards and one touchdown versus three interceptions.

  • Ryan Tannehill QB | TEN

    Dolphins' Ryan Tannehill: Returns to game

    Tannehill, who headed to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Patriots with a possible ankle injury, was able to return to the contest.

    Brock Osweiler finished up the first half at QB for the Dolphins, but fortunately for the team, Tannehill was able to return to the field at the start the third quarter of Sunday's contest.

  • Ryan Tannehill QB | TEN

    Dolphins' Ryan Tannehill: Heads to locker room

    Tannehill headed to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Patriots with a possible ankle injury.

    Tannehill has been working through a shoulder issue, but the injury that forced him out of Sunday's contest is a new one. Brock Osweiler is now in at QB for the Dolphins.

  • Sam Darnold QB | SEA

    Jets' Sam Darnold: Re-enters Week 14 contest

    Darnold returned to Sunday's game against the Bills after initially exiting with a right foot injury, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

    Darnold, who is playing for the first time since Week 9, presumably aggravated his sprained foot on the Jets' opening drive. Josh McCown stepped in for the subsequent possession and led the Jets into field-goal range, but it looks like Darnold will be ready to go for the rest of the day after receiving some treatment on the sideline.

  • Sam Darnold QB | SEA

    Jets' Sam Darnold: Injures foot Sunday

    Darnold is questionable to return to Sunday's game in Buffalo due to a foot injury.

    Darnold missed the Jets' previous three games due to a sprained right foot, so he may have aggravated the injury. While there's a chance he may reenter the contest, he'll yield quarterback duties to veteran Josh McCown for the time being.

  • Sam Darnold QB | SEA

    Jets' Sam Darnold: Limps to locker room Sunday

    Darnold (undisclosed) limped to the locker room during the first quarter of Sunday's game at Buffalo, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

    After missing three contests with a sprained right foot, Darnold was cleared to return Sunday, only to last nine minutes before suffering a lower-body injury. It remains to be seen if his right foot is the culprit, but the Jets will confirm the nature of the injury in short order.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Starting in Week 14

    Jackson will remain the Ravens' starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    With Joe Flacco (hip) inactive for the fourth straight game, Jackson will retain the starting job for another week, though he likely would have kept his spot atop the depth chart even if Flacco had been healthy enough to play. That said, Jackson would bolster his case for sticking as the Ravens' permanent starting quarterback if he can deliver a quality performance against the 10-2 Chiefs in what will be his first outing versus an opponent with a winning record. Over his prior three starts, Jackson completed just 60 percent of his passes for 7.0 yards per attempt and a 1:3 TD:INT but ripped up the opposition on the ground to the tune of 265 yards and two scores on 54 carries.
