Jackson completed 12 of 21 passes for 125 yards and added 75 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries during Sunday's 26-16 win over Atlanta. He lost a fumble during the contest.

Jackson gave the Ravens their only offensive touchdown late in the first quarter, keeping it on an option play and slicing for a 13-yard score. That's Jackson at his best. At his worst, Jackson scrambled early in the second quarter, was stripped, and the Falcons returned it for a 74-yard score. Jackson has doubtlessly breathed life into a Ravens team that is suddenly slated for a wild-card spot, but he continues to come with risk, not the least of which is whether his body, not exactly in the mold of Cam Newton, can survive his frequent scrambling. Notably, the athletic signal-caller missed time during the third quarter Sunday while in the concussion protocol. His style might catch up with him, but probably not next Sunday against a Chiefs defense among the worst in the league against the run, surrendering 5.0 yards per carry.

Jackson passed all concussion tests after exiting in the third quarter and returned to Sunday's game against the Falcons, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Jackson missed one drive while being evaluated for a head injury but returned for Baltimore's subsequent offensive possession, which culminated in a 47-yard field goal from Justin Tucker.

Jackson was forced out of Sunday's game against the Falcons with a suspected concussion, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

With Joe Flacco (hip) inactive Sunday, Robert Griffin will take over at QB for the Ravens in Jackson's absence.

Darnold (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

As reports over the previous 24 hours hinted, Darnold won't be ready to make his return to action while he continues to work back from the strained right foot. Josh McCown will draw a third straight start in the rookie's stead, but the Jets maintain optimism that Darnold will be ready to play Week 14 against the Bills. Darnold was a limited participant throughout practices this week, so he would likely need to upgrade to full participation between Wednesday and Friday to bolster his chances of starting versus Buffalo.

Darnold (foot) won't start Sunday's game against the Titans, sources tell Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. Josh McCown will instead fill in under center for the Jets' third consecutive game.

Cimini's report doesn't indicate whether Darnold will be inactive for the contest or dress as the backup quarterback, but bet on the former given that the team still has another healthy signal-caller in Davis Webb on the 53-man roster. Darnold demonstrated progress in his recovery from the right foot strain by practicing on a limited basis Wednesday through Friday, but the Jets probably aren't eager to take any chances with the No. 3 overall pick amid a non-contending season until they're confident he's 100 percent healthy. The 21-year-old would have a good chance at reclaiming the starting role Week 14 in Buffalo if he's able to complete a full practice beforehand.

Trubisky (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune reports.

As anticipated, Trubisky will remain sidelined for a second straight contest while he recovers from what's believed to be an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder. Despite sitting out another game, Trubisky demonstrated progress this week by practicing on a limited basis Wednesday through Friday, with coach Matt Nagy relaying after the latter session that the quarterback resumed light throwing. Chase Daniel will draw a second start Sunday while Trubisky continues to recuperate, but the second-year signal-caller appears likely to return under center for a potential postseason preview against the Rams in Week 14.

Darnold (foot), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, isn't expected to start but will go through a pregame workout before his status for the contest is determined, sources tell Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

The Jets are tentatively planning to go with Josh McCown under center for a third straight game, though things could change if Darnold gives the coaching staff more faith in his health by turning in a quality workout beforehand. After missing the past two contests, Darnold returned to practice this week as a limited participant, but there's apparently still some concerns from the Jets that he's not 100 percent recovered from the strained right foot. Effectively out of the playoff picture entering Sunday with a 3-8 record, the Jets probably won't be inclined to take any unnecessary risk with the No. 3 overall pick, making it more likely than not that Darnold will be included on the inactive list that is released 90 minutes prior to the 4:05 p.m. EST kickoff. If that's the case, Davis Webb would serve as the backup to McCown.

Tannehill (shoulder) logged full practice participation Wednesday through Friday ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

Even though he avoided an injury designation heading into last weekend's 27-24 loss to the Colts, Tannehill's practice reps were still limited coming off a five-game absence. After turning in a quality outing against the Colts with 17 completions on 25 attempts for 204 yards and two touchdowns, Tannehill reported no issues coming out of the contest. That was essentially supported by his lack of restrictions in practice this week, which should give fantasy managers an added measure of confidence in rolling with him in lineups over the final quarter of the season. While health considerations shouldn't be much of a factor with regards to his Week 13 outlook, Tannehill may have a tough time producing useful numbers while matching up with a Buffalo defense that has limited opposing passers to 6.4 yards per attempt (second in the NFL) and an 84.2 rating (fourth) this season.

Jackson will remain the Ravens' starting quarterback for Sunday's game in Atlanta with Joe Flacco (hip) listed as doubtful for the contest, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

After failing to log any on-field activity the previous two weeks and being ruled out ahead of wins over the Bengals and Raiders, Flacco returned to practice Thursday and Friday, but was visibly limited during both sessions. Flacco will most likely be inactive or available only in an emergency Sunday while he remains hobbled by the right hip injury, clearing the way for Jackson to make his third straight start and first career nod outside of Baltimore. Though Jackson's 61.4 percent completion rate, three interceptions and two fumbles (one lost) over his first two starts leave much to be desired, he's thus far directed a productive offense largely through his own work on the ground (37 attempts for 190 yards and a touchdown). The threat Jackson presents on zone-read plays has also had a positive effect on running back, with Gus Edwards (40 carries for 233 yards and a touchdown) finding success alongside the quarterback. If Jackson can continue to help the Ravens put points on the board in Week 13, he could keep the starting job moving forward even once Flacco receives clearance to play again.

Coach Matt Nagy said Trubisky (shoulder) did some throwing at Friday's practice, though it wasn't enough to prevent the Bears from listing him as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Chase Daniel is expected to get another start Sunday, with Trubisky then expected to return for a Week 14 home game against the Rams on Sunday Night Football (Dec. 9). The 24-year-old quarterback has been listed as a limited practice participant throughout the week, but there hadn't been any report of him throwing passes prior to Friday. His progress at the end of the week suggests he could have a fairly normal practice schedule next week.
