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.

Trubisky (shoulder) is inactive for Thursday's game at Detroit, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

The Bears, namely coach Matt Nagy, expressed optimism Trubisky would be able suit up early in the week, but the tone surrounding the quarterback's availability changed when he woke up Wednesday with less range of motion in his right throwing shoulder than expected, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. The development caused Trubisky to be listed as doubtful for this contest, paving the way for Chase Daniel to start for the first time since 2014. With Trubisky officially in street clothes Thursday, Tyler Bray will serve as Daniel's direct backup.

Trubisky (shoulder), who is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Lions, will cede starting duties to Chase Daniel this week, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN.

The Bears haven't officially ruled Trubisky out for the contest while he contends with an AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder, so the possibility remains that he could dress as the backup to Daniel. It seems more likely than not that he'll be included among the team's inactives, however, especially after the Bears called up Tyler Bray from the practice squad Wednesday to provide additional depth at quarterback. While Trubisky is in line to miss his first game of the season, the Bears appear confident that his injury won't put him at much risk of further absences. The expectation remains that Trubisky will be back under center in the Bears' subsequent game Dec. 2 against the Giants.

Garoppolo (knee) was spotted at Wednesday's practice walking about without the assistance of crutches, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

It's another milestone for Garoppolo as he works back from Oct. 3 surgery to repair a torn ACL. While Garoppolo has thus far avoided any setbacks as he approaches the two-month mark in his recovery from surgery, the 49ers probably won't have a definitive feel for how healthy he is until reassessing him during OTAs.

Tannehill (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

Coach Adam Gase has already named Tannehill as the Dolphins' starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Colts, and with no reported setbacks since that announcement, it's assumed that his limitations were simply maintenance-related. According to Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com, Tannehill looked to be throwing normally in the open portion of Wednesday's practice, which validates the notion that he hasn't experienced any setbacks.
