Case Keenum QB | CHI
Rams' Case Keenum: Won't play Sunday
Keenum (concussion) is not in line to start Sunday's game against the Bengals, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reports.
With Keenum recovering from a concussion, he's not in line to start Sunday after taking a hit to the head late in last week's loss to Baltimore. The Rams had initially hoped that Keenum would be cleared in time to play Sunday, but it looks like they'll hand the reins of the offense back over to Nick Foles, who was benched after nine uninspiring games as the starter.

Brian Hoyer QB | LV
Texans' Brian Hoyer: Slated to start Sunday
Hoyer (concussion) is slated to start Sunday's game against the Saints.
Working in Hoyer's favor in Week 12 is that he'll take aim at a Saints' defense that has allowed a league-high 28 passing TDs to date, while giving up an average of 293.1 passing yards per game. On that front, only the Giants have allowed more (309.9) yardage in the air.

Andy Dalton QB | PHI
Bengals' Andy Dalton: Listed as probable for Sunday
Dalton (groin) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Dalton looks like a go Sunday and he'll carry a 20:5 TD:INT ratio into the weekend against a Rams team that has dropped three straight decisions by a combined tally of 74-44.

Teddy Bridgewater QB | DET
Vikings' Teddy Bridgewater: Probable with shoulder injury
Bridgewater (left shoulder) was a full participant in Friday's practice and is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Bridgewater missed one play after taking a hard it in last week's loss to the Packers, but was able to fully practice all week. He should be set to start Sunday's game at Atlanta.

Rams' Case Keenum: Questionable to face Bengals
Keenum (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Cincinnati, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
According to Wagoner, the Rams are preparing for Nick Foles to start, as Keenum still hasn't cleared the NFL's concussion protocol. However, there is some chance Keenum will be cleared by Sunday, in which case he'd likely have the opportunity to redeem himself from a disastrous Week 11 showing. The team could make a final decision Saturday.

Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT
Packers' Aaron Rodgers: Loses feeling in fingers
Rodgers said he lost feeling in the fingers on his left hand during the second half of Thursday's loss to the Bears, ESPN.com reports.
Rodgers, who took a hard hit to his left elbow early in the third quarter, said after the game that two of his fingers still didn't have feeling. He didn't miss any snaps and also said that it shouldn't be an issue in future weeks. It sounds as if hand-offs were the biggest problem, but fortunately for the Packers, Rodgers prepared for such a scenario earlier in the year by practicing back-handed hand-offs with his right hand.

Tyrod Taylor QB | GB
Bills' Tyrod Taylor: Ready to roll, per Ryan
Though Taylor (right shoulder) was limited at practice this week, coach Rex Ryan said Friday that the QB is "ready to roll" for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Taylor, who relayed earlier this week, that he "kind of jammed" up his right shoulder "a little bit" Monday night against the Patriots, increased his throwing at practice Friday to the point that Ryan signed off on the QB's Week 12 availability, confirming that Taylor is "good to go." With Taylor a little banged up and the Chiefs' D on something of a roll, it wouldn't surprise us, however, to see the Bills employ a ground-heavy attack on the road this weekend.

Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT
Packers' Aaron Rodgers: Throws one touchdown and one pick Thursday
Rodgers completed 22/43 passes for one touchdown and one interception in Green Bay's 13-17 loss to the Bears.
Rodgers continued to struggle in a prime time game in Lambeau where you would normally expect him to put up impressive numbers. It was a rainy night in Green Bay, and the weather did lead to a number of drops from Packer receivers. Rodgers will look to get back on track when Green Bay travels to Detroit for another prime time game next Thursday.

Matthew Stafford QB | LAR
Lions' Matthew Stafford: Tosses Five TD passes Thursday
Stafford, who completed 27 of 38 passes for 337 yards in Thursday's 45-14 win over the Eagles, tied a career-high by tossing five TD passes in the contest, ESPN.com reports.
Things are suddenly looking up for Stafford and the Lions, who have now won three straight games. Highlighting Stafford's big day on Thanksgiving against a porous Philly D was the chemistry he displayed with top wideout Calvin Johnson, who caught three TDs in the contest. Next up for Stafford is a less favorable Week 13 matchup against the Packers.

Case Keenum QB | CHI
Rams' Case Keenum: Listed as limited Thursday
Keenum (concussion) was listed as limited on the Rams' injury report Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Keenum's activity level was an estimate, as the Rams' regular day off occurs each Thursday, but it matched his limited showing in Wednesday's practice. After that session, head coach Jeff Fisher told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that Keenum is still in the concussion protocol, though he "got under center, he split the reps with Nick [Foles], and he felt pretty good." Keenum seems to be trending in the right direction, with one more chance to show that the concussion is behind him Friday.
