Sam Bradford QB | MIN
Eagles' Sam Bradford: Looks good in practice
Bradford (shoulder) did not appear limited at Tuesday's practice, Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
The report comes second-hand from some of the Eagles players, including offensive tackle Lane Johnson, who said he expects Bradford to start Sunday's game against the Patriots. Assuming he officially logs a full practice by the end of the week, Bradford should be ready to make his return.

Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT
Packers' Aaron Rodgers: Not on Week 13 injury report
Rodgers is not listed on the Packers' injury report in advance of Thursday's game against the Lions.
Rodgers, who took a hard hit to his left elbow early in the third quarter of this past Thursday's loss to the Bears, noted afterward that two of his fingers still didn't have feeling at the time. Given that the QB is not listed on the Packers' Week 13 injury report, however, his status for this Thursday's contest is clearly not in doubt.

Sam Bradford QB | MIN
Eagles' Sam Bradford: Will practice Tuesday
Bradford (shoulder) will practice Tuesday, The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Bradford has missed the Eagles' past two games due to a shoulder injury, and although coach Chip Kelly is unsure if he'll be able to return for Sunday's contest versus the Patriots, Bradford will at least be back in practice Tuesday. From there, his progress is expected to be updated throughout the week, with Mark Sanchez remaining the Eagles' backup plan if Bradford can't play.

Brian Hoyer QB | LV
Texans' Brian Hoyer: Two touchdowns in win over Saints
Hoyer completed 21 of 27 passes for 205 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's win over the Saints. He also lost three yards on three rushing attempts.
Another steady performance from the veteran, who has now thrown for multiple touchdowns with an average of 258 yards per game in each of the last six contests he has finished. The Texans have now won four straight, and Hoyer seems far removed from the player who was locked in a position battle with Ryan Mallett earlier this season. He will lead the team into the Week 13 matchup with the Bills, as they look to make it five straight.

Teddy Bridgewater QB | DET
Vikings' Teddy Bridgewater: Held in check versus Falcons
Bridgewater completed 20 of 28 passes for 174 yards and an interception in Sunday's win over the Falcons. He also lost three yards on four carries.
The second-year signal caller took a back seat Sunday, as the Vikings ran the ball effectively en route to a crucial road win. Bridgewater has now thrown for fewer than 200 yards in six games this season, and he failed to connect on a touchdown Sunday for the fourth time. Week 13 will bring a tough home matchup versus the Seahawks, and Bridgewater should once again play the role of game manager in the Vikings' run-heavy attack.

Andy Dalton QB | PHI
Bengals' Andy Dalton: Tosses three touchdowns against St. Louis
Dalton completed 20 of 27 passes for 233 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's win over St. Louis.
After posting his second game of more interceptions than touchdowns in Week 10, Dalton has tossed five touchdowns to just one pick in last last two games. Dalton has emerged this season as a top-flight quarterback, with eight games with multiple touchdowns and six games with at least three total scores. For the season, Dalton ranks among the top eight quarterbacks in the league in passing yards, touchdowns and quarterback rating.

Jameis Winston QB | NYG
Buccaneers' Jameis Winston: Throws for 245 yards in Week 12 loss
Winston completed 20-of-36 passes for 245 yards with one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 25-12 loss to the Colts. He also gained 27 yards on three rushes, but was sacked five times.
The 2015 first overall pick came nowhere close to replicating the extraordinary success he enjoyed in a Week 11 blowout of the Eagles, and finished the contest with a mediocre 51.3 quarterback rating. Winston also threw an interception for the second time in three weeks after previously having enjoyed a four-game stretch without a pick. He did make an impressive thrown down the seam in the red zone to tight end Cameron Brate for his one touchdown pass, and managed a career-high 27 yards on the ground. Winston and the Bucs face off with the Falcons in a home tilt in Week 13.
-
Russell Wilson QB | NYG
Seahawks' Russell Wilson: Throws a career-high five touchdowns
Wilson completed 21 of 30 passes for 345 yards and a career-high five touchdowns in Sunday's 39-30 win over Pittsburgh. The five passing scores also tied a franchise record.
Wilson was coming off his most productive game of the season, but was even better Sunday against a hard-hitting Steelers' defense, capping his huge fantasy day with an 80-yard touchdown to Doug Baldwin at 2:01 of the fourth quarter. On a negative note, Wilson lost one of his top targets, as TE Jimmy Graham suffered a knee injury, and had to be carted off the field. In somewhat of a disappointing fantasy campaign, Wilson threw for over 300 yards for the first time this season. It will probably be tough for him to duplicate his five-touchdown explosion next week at Minnesota, although things look good for his owners during the fantasy playoffs, as the fourth-year QB will face Baltimore in Week 14 and Cleveland in Week 15.

Blaine Gabbert QB | KC
49ers' Blaine Gabbert: Throws for over 300 yards against Arizona
Gabbert completed 25 of 36 passes for 318 yards, with one touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 19-13 loss to Arizona. He also had one rush for 11 yards.
Gabbert kept the 49ers in the game against a tough opponent, but was unable to lead a comeback in the end, completing a 19-yard pass in Cardinals' territory on 4th-and-20 late in the game. He has been surprisingly competent since taking over as the 49ers' starting QB in Week 9, and he's got a favorable matchup at Chicago next week, although the Bears' defense has played much better as of late.

Marcus Mariota QB | WAS
Titans' Marcus Mariota: Struggles despite three touchdowns
Mariota completed 17-of-37 passes for 218 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions Sunday against Oakland. He added seven rushing yards on one carry.
Mariota's line outside the three touchdowns was very ugly, but the rookie's struggles are nothing new. He has topped 250 yards passing just once in his last six appearances, and also took a step back with his legs after topping 20 yards on the ground in each of the last two games. Mariota completed just six of the 20 passes he threw to wide receivers, and it's going to be hard to trust him until he demonstrates the ability to hit outside throws.
