Petty's injury that forced him to leave Saturday's game is a chest injury, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

X-rays following the game were negative, but Petty will undergo further testing Sunday.

Petty, who left Saturday's game against Miami with an undisclosed injury, had the wind knocked out of him and is questionable to return, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Petty took some warm up throws before returning the locker room,

Petty was removed from Saturday's game against the Dolphins with an undisclosed injury and replaced by Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Petty left the game after getting sandwiched between Miami's defensive ends Ndamukong Suh and Cameron Wake.

GM Doug Whaley has shied away from the possibility of using Jones down the stretch, BuffaloBills.com reports. "He looks like he still needs some time," said Whaley. "We've said from day one that this guy needed a redshirt year. He's only played in 11 games in his career so let's let him learn. Let's not advance his progression just yet. Let's just be patient with this guy. Now if something catastrophic happens and we lose Tyrod and EJ and he's the last man standing then yes he'll play. But that's not something that we are planning on or want."

The Bills are just about out of the playoff chase, but it sounds like they're prepared to let Tyrod Tyler ride out the string. And even if they did want to give someone else a look, that would almost certainly be EJ Manuel -- whom the Bills need to make a contract decision on -- and not Jones.

Hackenberg is inactive for Saturday's matchup with the Dolphins.

Fellow quarterbacks Bryce Petty and Ryan Fitzpatrick are both healthy, so Hackenberg was included among the seven players who will not be active for Saturday's contest.

Despite the Packers adding No. 3 quarterback Joe Callahan to the active roster Saturday, Rodgers (calf) is still expected to play in Sunday's game against the Bears, Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network reports.

The Packers have expressed continued optimism regarding Rodgers' Week 15 availability despite him sitting out practice all week, and at this point it seems they added Callahan to the roster just to be sure they aren't caught with only backup Brett Hundley if Rodgers' sore calf responds poorly to the frigid conditions that are expected during Sunday's contest. Rodgers' status for Week 15 will be known for certain when the Packers release their inactive report roughly an hour and a half prior to kickoff at 1:00 PM (ET).

Stafford (finger) does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.

Stafford was a full participant in practice all week, proving his dislocated middle finger, which also sustained torn ligaments last weekend, wouldn't impact his Week 15 status. Although he's expected to sport a glove during Sunday's contest, the Lions and fantasy owners alike should be relieved Stafford will continue to play at this crucial point in the campaign.

Rodgers (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Rodgers' calf injury, which follows a recent hamstring problem, prevented him from practicing this week, but he's still expected to play Sunday. The Packers have a practice scheduled for Saturday, so Rodgers could take his first reps of the week then. Even if doesn't, coach Mike McCarthy expressed confidence in the quarterback's ability to play regardless of his recent inactivity. Knowing that, fantasy owners should anticipate having Rodgers available this weekend.

Bradford (shoulder) does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts.

Bradford's sore right shoulder caused him to be limited in practice this week prior to Friday's full session, but that latest appearance cleared any concern over his Week 15 status.

Rodgers (calf) is expected to play Sunday against the Bears, but he may do so without taking any practice reps beforehand, ESPN's Rob Demovsky reports.

Rodgers has yet to practice this week, as he continues to nurse a right calf injury sustained last Sunday. That time off has allowed Rodgers to receive treatment and watch additional film, giving the Packers' coaching staff confidence that he'll be ready to face the Bears even if he doesn't take a single practice rep this week. Rodgers' official status will be determined later Friday, but fantasy owners can expect to have him available.
