  • Tim Boyle QB | TEN

    Giants' Tim Boyle: Signed from practice squad

    Boyle has been signed from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Boyle signed with the Giants' practice squad Tuesday, and this move suggests he'll operate as the team's emergency quarterback Sunday behind Drew Lock (heel/left elbow) and Tommy DeVito. Boyle could be promoted to a backup role in case Lock is unable to go Sunday, but he'd need an injury to DeVito to have a shot at seeing the field against Baltimore.

  • Mike White QB | CAR

    Bills' Mike White: Elevated from practice squad

    White has been elevated from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions.

    White is expected to serve as Buffalo's emergency quarterback for Sunday behind Josh Allen and Mitchell Trubisky. He isn't likely to play, though, so his promotion to the active roster might be a way to reward him for his work on the practice squad over the last few weeks.

  • Derek Carr QB | NO

    Saints' Derek Carr: Predictably ruled out

    Carr (hand/concussion) will not play Sunday against the Commanders, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    This was effectively a given considering Carr hasn't practiced all week and never cleared concussion protocol. Jake Haener will take over as the Week 15 starter and will be without the majority of the team's top targets, with Chris Olave (concussion) and Bub Means (ankle) failing to be activated off injured reserve for the contest.

  • Raiders' Aidan O'Connell: No practice, still questionable

    O'Connell (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Falcons, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

    O'Connell didn't practice all week, but the Raiders are evidently giving the second-year quarterback every avenue possible to return Monday from an injury, later discovered to be a bone bruise, that was so serious it required an MRI earlier in the week. In the event O'Connell can't play, Las Vegas would likely turn to Desmond Ridder against his former team. Expect more clarification regarding O'Connell's status to come before the 8:30 p.m. ET kickoff Monday.

  • Logan Woodside QB | ARI

    Bengals' Logan Woodside: Signed to 53-man roster

    The Bengals signed Woodside from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday.

    Woodside has thrown just four passes over parts of four NFL seasons, and he's spent the campaign to this point on Cincinnati's practice squad. Joe Burrow and Jake Browning -- the team's No. 1 and No. 2 options at quarterback -- are both currently healthy, so Woodside's signing may just be a good-faith move to provide him with a game check. The Bengals had a roster spot open up Saturday with linebacker Joe Bachie (groin) landing on IR.

  • Skylar Thompson: Let go by Miami

    The Dolphins waived Thompson on Saturday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Thompson got into two games (including one as a starter) early in the season when Tua Tagovailoa was hurt and completed 21 of 33 pass attempts for 187 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions while adding one rush for four yards. However, he suffered an injury to his ribs that cost him time, and Tyler Huntley has since surpassed Thompson as Miami's preferred backup QB. Thompson's departure Saturday made room for wide receiver Grant DuBose (shoulder) to be activated off injured reserve.

  • Justin Herbert QB | LAC

    Chargers' Justin Herbert: Ready for Week 15

    Herbert (ankle/thigh) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers.

    Herbert missed one play during this past Sunday's loss at Kansas City with what eventually was termed a thigh contusion. Coach Jim Harbaugh then revealed Wednesday that Herbert also was dealing with a left ankle injury from that game, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic. Herbert proceeded to open Week 15 prep with an absence before being limited Thursday and a full participant Friday. He'll be taking on a Tampa Bay defense Sunday that has given up the 10th-most touchdown passes (21) to opposing quarterbacks in 13 contests this season.

  • Derek Carr QB | NO

    Saints' Derek Carr: Officially doubtful, won't start

    Carr (hand/concussion) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Carr hasn't practiced this week, and while it's possible he clears concussion protocol by Sunday, the Saints have already named Jake Haener as their Week 15 starter. If anything, Carr likely would just be available as the emergency No. 3 QB, behind both Haener and Spencer Rattler.

  • Joe Burrow QB | CIN

    Bengals' Joe Burrow: Set to play Sunday

    Burrow (right wrist/knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Tennessee.

    On Wednesday, coach Zac Taylor said Burrow was dealing with a sore knee, but the issue wouldn't hold him out of any practices, per Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer. Burrow logged limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday before capping Week 15 prep with full participation Friday, paving the way for him to continue to lead the Bengals offense. He'll be taking on a Titans defense Sunday that has allowed the third-fewest YPA (6.57) to opposing quarterbacks this season.

  • Jake Haener QB | NO

    Saints' Jake Haener: Named as Week 15 starter

    Saints coach Darren Rizzi said Friday that Haener will start Sunday's game against the Commanders.

    Rizzi hinted at the outcome a day earlier, choosing Haener over Spencer Rattler while Derek Carr recovers from a concussion and hand fracture. The Saints hope to get Carr back within the next few weeks, but it won't be surprising if Haener ends up making multiple starts in an injury-riddled offense that's currently without WR Chris Olave (concussion), WR Rashid Shaheed (knee) and TE Taysom Hill (knee).
