Bradford (left shoulder, concussion) was a limited participant at Tuesday's practice.

Though he's still listed with both issues on the injury report, Bradford has already passed through the concussion protocol. His availability for Thursday's game against the Lions is still in serious question, as the injury to his left shoulder is a potential multi-week issue. If healthy, Bradford figures to start, given how poorly Mark Sanchez played in Sunday's blowout loss to Tampa Bay.

Bills head coach Rex Ryan said Tuesday that Taylor (right shoulder/collarbone) should be able to play in Sunday's game against the Chiefs, WGR 550's Mike Schopp reports.

The Bills apparently got some good news Tuesday morning, as Ryan didn't sound nearly this confident in the immediate aftermath of Monday's game. Taylor repeatedly clutched at his right collarbone late in the contest, but the injury didn't actually appear to impact his accuracy or arm strength. If he's ultimately unable to play, EJ Manuel will likely get the nod.

Bradford has been cleared from concussion protocol, Martin Frank of the Delaware News Journal reports.

Mark Sanchez struggled in last Sunday's start against the Buccaneers, throwing three interceptions and failing to complete 65 percent of his passes, so it seemed likely Bradford would regain his starting role if he was deemed healthy. Considering the former first-round pick was able to practice Monday and has officially cleared concussion protocol, Bradford could have a chance to start, but offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur refused to acknowledge a potential starter Tuesday, according to the Delaware News Journal. Bradford's availability at practice Tuesday should be a good indicator of his status moving forward, so fantasy owners should check back later in the afternoon for more information.

Bills head coach Rex Ryan said he is not sure if Taylor (right shoulder) will be ready for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, the Buffalo News reports.

Taylor was visibly bothered by his right shoulder/collarbone toward the end of Monday's loss to the Patriots, yet he still managed to throw a perfect deep pass only a couple of snaps after suffering the injury. He never came out of the game but was clearly grabbing at his shoulder after nearly every snap. With the Bills not having media availability on Tuesday, there may not be another update available until Wednesday. E.J. Manuel is still the team's backup quarterback, with Josh Johnson serving as the No. 3.

Keenum is in the concussion protocol, Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Keenum's head was slammed to the turf on a late takedown Sunday at Baltimore, but no evaluation was undertaken, and his fumble two plays later led to the Ravens' game-winning field goal. In the aftermath of the game, he was examined for a head injury, which was confirmed as a concussion Monday. If he emerges from the protocol unscathed, head coach Jeff Fisher said that Keenum will be under center this Sunday at Cincinnati. However, the murky nature of such ailments could thrust Nick Foles into a starting role.

Per coach Bill O'Brien, Hoyer passed his final concussion test and will be the Texans' starter at QB this coming Sunday against the Saints.

T.J. Yates drew the start at quarterback for the Texans in this past Sunday's 24-17 win over the Jets, but the team will return to Hoyer in Week 12 and he'll have a chance to take aim at a Saints' defense that has allowed a league-high 28 passing TDs to date, en route to giving up an average of 293.1 passing yards per game. Only the Giants have allowed more (309.9).

Bradford (concussion/shoulder) returned to practice Monday, NJ.com's Eliot Shorr-Parks reports.

Although the Eagles have a quick turnaround for their Thanksgiving matchup against the Lions, Bradford's return to practice suggests he has some shot to be ready for the game. There was talk that he might lose the starting job to Mark Sanchez, who subsequently threw three interceptions in Sunday's blowout loss to Tampa Bay. It's now a safe bet that Bradford will start Thursday's game if he is healthy enough to play.

Hoyer (concussion) is still Houston's starting quarterback after being sidelined in Week 11's win over the Jets, according to head coach Bill O'Brien, the Houston Chronicle reports. "Hoyer is our starter," O'Brien said. "When he comes back, when he's healthy, he'll come back in there and we've spoken to T.J. (Yates) about that."

T.J. Yates started at quarterback during Sunday's win over the Jets, but O'Brien expects Hoyer, who has made significant improvement, to be ready to go next week against the Saints.

Tannehill completed just 13 of 24 passes for 188 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. He also gained 13 yards on three carries.

The meager yardage output was Tannehill's lowest of the season, thanks to constant harassment from the Dallas defense, but he was able to salvage the day for his owners with the pair of scores. Tannehill's fantasy output has been all over the map since Dan Campbell took over as head coach, placing added emphasis on the run, but he has still thrown for multiple scores in four of the last six. The Dolphins will hit the road to take on the Jets in Week 12.

Bridgewater completed 25 of 37 passes for 296 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Packers. He was sacked six times, and finished with 43 rushing yards on four carries.

Bridgewater took a number of big hits, and had to leave the game briefly in the first half. While he showed toughness throughout, he couldn't make enough plays in the end. His fantasy production continues to be limited, with just one 300-yard passing game, and one touchdown or less in nine of 10 contests this season. The second-year QB has added some fantasy value as a runner, with a couple of touchdowns on the ground. Next week, he and the Vikings will travel to Atlanta to play the Falcons, who have generally held opposing QBs in check this year.
