Peterman recently held a workout with the Lions, a source told Field Yates of ESPN.

It was Peterman's first audition with another team since the Bills cut him loose Monday following a disastrous season-and-a-half-long run with the organization. Though Peterman possesses an ideal frame (6-foot-2, 225 pounds) for a quarterback and is just 24 years old, the tape he's put out thus far in his brief career suggests he's not a capable NFL backup or a developmental prospect worth keeping on a 53-man roster. If he finds a new home somewhere this season, it will most likely be as a member of the practice squad.

Jackson will receive the starting assignment for Sunday's game against the Bengals and is expected to take the bulk of the snaps behind center, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Prior reports noted that Jackson was merely expected to start with Joe Flacco (hip) unlikely to play, but this latest nugget offers some confirmation. Because the Ravens have frequently made use of two-quarterback sets throughout the season, it's expected that Jackson and top backup Robert Griffin will share the field in tandem at various points during the game. Since the assumption is that Jackson will handle the majority of the snaps, he'll profile as the better fantasy play of the two and could be a high-upside option -- albeit a somewhat risky one -- even in leagues that start only one quarterback due to his dynamic running skills. As for Flacco's outlook beyond Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that the veteran signal-caller won't require surgery to address the injury, which likely takes a long-term absence off the table put still puts his status in jeopardy for the Ravens' next game Nov. 25 against the Raiders.

The Ravens haven't officially revealed their plans at quarterback for Sunday's game against the Bengals, but Jackson is expected to start and his teammates anticipate that he'll play the majority of the snaps, Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network report.

Joe Flacco (hip) is listed as doubtful for the contest and is unlikely to play, opening the door for the 2018 first-round pick to draw his first NFL start. Though Jackson draws a matchup against the NFL's worst pass defense (313.3 yards per game allowed), expect the Ravens to follow a run-heavy script early on in light of the rookie's spotty accuracy and overall lack of polish as a passer at this stage of his career. Should the Ravens fall behind early and be forced to abandon the run game, it's possible that coach John Harbaugh would turn to backup Robert Griffin for a spell, but that's not guaranteed. Pelissero and Rapoport's report notes that Flacco won't require surgery to address the hip injury and "should be ready in a week or two," suggesting Jackson isn't a lock to start beyond this Sunday.

Jackson is expected to make his first NFL start Sunday against the Bengals with Joe Flacco (hip) listed as doubtful and unlikely to be available, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

After failing to practice this week and carrying the doubtful designation into gameday, Flacco looks poised to miss out on his first start since the 2015 season. While that opens the door for Jackson to get his first extended run under center, Jeremy Bergman of NFL.com relays that the rookie is expected to share snaps with veteran Robert Griffin. Jackson had the misfortune of sitting out on Thursday's practice while recovering from a stomach bug, and though he's seemingly healthy now, the missed practice time might have been enough for the Ravens to maintain a role in the game plan for Griffin as well. The uncertain distribution of snaps makes Jackson somewhat of a volatile fantasy option this week, though his running skills undoubtedly make his upside high, particularly against a porous Cincinnati defense.

Walker signed with Indianapolis' practice squad Friday.

Walker was previously released from the Colts' practice squad Oct. 23. The 23-year-old also participated in Indianapolis' offseason program and training camp this summer, before being waived prior to final cuts. With Jacoby Brissett is locked in as Andrew Luck's backup, Walker is unlikely to find a role as anything more than an emergency option this season.

Jackson (illness) is in line to make his first career start Sunday against the Bengals, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports.

After sitting out Thursday's practice with the illness, Jackson returned Friday as a full participant and doesn't have a designation on the Ravens' final injury report. Meanwhile, Joe Flacco (hip) is listed as doubtful after failing to practice in any capacity this week, likely forcing the Ravens to choose between Jackson and Griffin for the Week 11 starting assignment. The team might even consider a rotation at quarterback, with the rookie getting more work on early downs while the veteran handles obvious passing situations. Coach John Harbaugh doesn't seem inclined to name his starter until Sunday, but it is possible the information leaks Friday or Saturday. The Ravens have a 1 p.m. EST kickoff against a Bengals team that allowed more than 500 yards of offense in each of its last three games.

Jackson (illness) participated in Friday's practice.

Jackson sat out Thursday due to a stomach issue, but he was feeling good enough to return to the field just one day later. That leaves the door open for the rookie to start Sunday against the Bengals if fellow quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) is unable to go. More details regarding the Ravens' quarterback situation for Week 11 should emerge when the team releases its final injury report of the week later Friday.

Wilson completed 21 of 31 passes for 225 yards and two touchdowns in Thursday's 27-24 win over the Packers. He also rushed five times for 17 yards.

The Seahawks played from behind for most of the game so Wilson tossed more than 30 passes for just the second time in eight games. His game was highlighted by a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter where he completed four of five passes for 73 yards and a touchdown to Ed Dickson. It keeps the Seahawks alive in the playoff hunt, and Wilson will have extra rest ahead of Week 12's matchup with the Panthers.

Rodgers completed 21 of 30 passes for 332 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Packers' 27-24 loss to the Seahawks on Thursday. He also rushed once for three yards.

Rodgers put on an outstanding performance in defeat, remaining mistake-free and firing a pair of particularly impressive touchdown passes to Robert Tonyan and Aaron Jones. The All-Pro signal-caller was in vintage form on the former, scrambling around and buying time before flinging a pass across the field over 50 yards for the score. Rodgers lost tight end Jimmy Graham during the contest due to a thumb injury, and he came up empty on what would turn out to be the Packers' final drive with a third-down incompletion with 4:23 remaining. Rodgers' 70.0 percent completion rate was his best since Week 2, while his yardage total qualified as his first over 300 since Week 6. The multi-time Pro Bowler will look to put this disappointing loss aside when the Packers face the Vikings in a Week 12 divisional battle.

Mahomes (foot) appears on the Chiefs' Week 11 injury report, but he practiced fully Thursday, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official site reports.

There's little doubt that Mahomes will be available for Monday night's game against the Rams, but his presence on his team's injury report is not entirely surprising, on the heels of absorbing five sacks versus the Cardinals in Week 10. Given that the Chiefs and Rams are the NFL's second and third-highest scoring teams to date, there's shootout potential in a compelling Monday Night Football matchup featuring two 9-1 teams.
