  • Tyrod Taylor QB | NYJ

    Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Set to be Jets' QB2 in Week 17

    Taylor (knee/personal) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against New England and will work as the Jets' No. 2 quarterback, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Taylor was deemed a limited participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday due to a lingering knee issue. He downgraded to a non-participant Friday, but the Jets labeled the reason as "personal," and Taylor has been cleared to suit up against the Patriots. For the second straight week, he'll work as the backup QB behind rookie Brady Cook.

  • Malik Willis QB | GB

    Packers' Malik Willis: Spot start imminent

    Willis (right shoulder/illness) is in line to start Saturday's game versus the Ravens with Jordan Love (left shoulder/concussion) expected to be sidelined, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Love wasn't able to progress beyond a limited participant during Week 17 prep as he recovers from the concussion that he sustained last Saturday at Chicago. With clearance from an independent neurologist seemingly not happening before Saturday's 8:00 p.m. ET kickoff, the Packers will turn to Willis under center. Willis is dealing with a right shoulder injury himself and also sat out Wednesday's practice due to an illness, which have combined to leave him questionable ahead of the weekend. Willis' status will be clarified about 90 minutes before the aforementioned kickoff.

  • Jordan Love QB | GB

    Packers' Jordan Love: Unlikely to play Saturday

    Love (left shoulder/concussion) isn't expected to play Saturday against the Ravens, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Love had exactly one week to get through the concussion protocol after making an early exit from last Saturday's loss at Chicago due to a head injury. He was listed as limited on all three of the Packers' Week 17 practice reports, and because he required clearance from an independent neurologist in order to suit up Saturday, it appears the window was too tight for him to be available. In Love's expected absence this weekend, Malik Willis (right shoulder/illness), who also is listed as questionable, is in line to lead Green Bay's offense.

  • Josh Allen QB | BUF

    Bills' Josh Allen: No injury designation for Week 17

    Allen (foot) practiced in full Friday and does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

    Allen is fully on track for Sunday's showdown at home versus Philadelphia, which is little surprise after head coach Sean McDermott said Friday that the star quarterback's right foot soreness dissipated throughout the practice week, as Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. It doesn't appear as though Allen's mobility or rushing capabilities will be hampered by injury in any notable way Week 17.

  • Dillon Gabriel QB | CLE

    Browns' Dillon Gabriel: Draws surprising questionable tag

    Gabriel (shoulder) is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Gabriel is a late addition to Cleveland's injury report, a seeming indication that he injured his left shoulder at some point this week. In the event that Gabriel isn't cleared for Saturday's divisional matchup against Pittsburgh, Bailey Zappe will stand to be elevated from the practice squad in order to operate as the backup to starting quarterback Shedeur Sanders.

  • Josh Allen QB | BUF

    Bills' Josh Allen: In line to play Sunday

    Coach Sean McDermott noted Friday that Allen (foot) is feeling better each day and is slated to play Sunday against the Eagles, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Allen was listed as limited in Wednesday's walkthrough and also on Thursday's practice estimate. Friday's injury report thus will reveal whether the star QB upgrades to full participation, but based on McDermott's comments, Allen is trending toward heading into the weekend without a Week 17 injury designation.

  • Bo Nix QB | DEN

    Broncos' Bo Nix: Manages Denver to victory

    Nix completed 26 of 38 passes for 182 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Thursday's 20-13 win over the Chiefs. He added nine rushes for 42 yards and an additional touchdown.

    The Broncos ran a conservative offense while facing Kansas City's third-string quarterback, which served to limit Nix's passing output. He managed only one completion of more than 20 yards, and he struggled to make any deep connections with Courtland Sutton even when given the chance. The end result was that he averaged just 4.8 yards per attempt -- his lowest mark since Week 9. Nix still had a decent fantasy performance thanks to a nine-yard rushing score late in the third quarter. Overall, Nix has accounted for multiple touchdowns in only two of his last seven games, though he has surpassed 300 passing yards three times in that span.

  • Chiefs' Chris Oladokun: Minimal production in loss

    Oladokun completed 13 of 22 passes for 66 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions while adding two rushes for 11 yards in the Chiefs' 20-13 loss to the Broncos on Thursday night. He also fumbled once but recovered.

    The journeyman signal-caller didn't have a bright outlook coming into Thursday's game given the matchup and his inexperience, but even in that context. Oladokun's microscopic passing yardage total was jarring. However, he was sacked just once and didn't turn the ball over, and he connected with Brashard Smith from five yards out for his first NFL touchdown pass. Oladokun figures to be under center again in a Week 18 road matchup against the Raiders to close out the season.

  • Jared Goff QB | DET

    Lions' Jared Goff: Gifts Vikings five TOs on Christmas

    Goff completed 18 of 29 pass attempts for 197 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Thursday's 23-10 loss to the Vikings. He also rushed three times for two yards and fumbled three times, losing all three.

    Goff connected with Isaac TeSlaa for a four-yard touchdown pass on fourth down to cap a 19-play, 80-yard drive with 1:05 remaining before halftime. That touchdown got the Lions on the board and answered a first-quarter Vikings touchdown that came five plays after a Goff fumble. Minnesota reclaimed the lead with a pair of field goals, which were set up by his two third-quarter interceptions on consecutive pass attempts. Goff fumbled two more times in the fourth quarter, as he accounted for five of Detroit's six turnovers. The Lions were eliminated from playoff contention with Thursday's loss, but Goff will have an opportunity to finish the regular season on a less sour note in a Week 18 trip to Chicago.

  • Max Brosmer QB | MIN

    Vikings' Max Brosmer: Carried by defense to Christmas win

    Brosmer completed nine of 16 passes for 51 yards without a touchdown or an interception in the Vikings' 23-10 win over the Lions on Christmas Day. He added 16 yards on two carries.

    Making his second career NFL start, Brosmer produced very little offense, but he crucially avoided any turnovers while the Minnesota defense generated an impressive six takeaways. The rookie quarterback did get sacked seven times, however. It's not yet clear if J.J. McCarthy (hand) will be cleared to play Week 18 against the Packers in a game that may not have anything at stake for either side, but if McCarthy gets shut down, Brosmer would be in line to make one more start in 2025.
