  • Mike White QB | CAR

    Mike White: Reverts to practice squad

    White reverted to the Bills' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    White was elevated for the Bills' 35-10 win over the 49ers on Sunday, when he served as the emergency third quarterback behind Josh Allen and Mitchell Trubisky. White did not see the field, as neither Allen nor Trubisky suffered injuries that knocked them out of the game.

  • Zach Wilson QB | MIA

    Broncos' Zach Wilson: Emergency QB for Week 13

    Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's matchup against the Browns but will serve as Denver's emergency third quarterback.

    Wilson has yet to appear in a game for the Broncos this season and will continue to serve as the team's emergency third quarterback in Week 13. Jarrett Stidham will back up Bo Nix on Monday night, and Wilson can only enter the game if both QBs ahead of him become unavailable.

  • Bailey Zappe QB | CLE

    Browns' Bailey Zappe: Dropped by Cleveland

    The Browns waived Zappe on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    The 25-year-old quarterback from Western Kentucky joined the Browns' active roster Oct. 23 and had been serving as the team's emergency third QB before being waived Monday. Zappe's most recent regular-season NFL action came with the Patriots in 2023, appearing in 10 games and throwing for 1,272 yards, six touchdowns and nine interceptions. He could remain in Cleveland on the Browns' practice squad if he clears waivers.

  • Dolphins' Skylar Thompson: Moves down depth chart

    Thompson will not handle backup quarterback duties against the Jets on Sunday, Alain Poupart of SI.com reports.

    Thompson has been serving as Tua Tagovailoa's backup, but he'll turn those duties over to Tyler Huntley beginning in Week 14. The 27-year-old will still likely serve as an emergency quarterback versus New York.

  • Tyler Huntley QB | BAL

    Dolphins' Tyler Huntley: Moves up depth chart

    Huntley will serve as the Dolphins' No. 2 quarterback against the Jets on Sunday, Alain Poupart of SI.com reports.

    Huntley served as Miami's starting quarterback when Tua Tagovailoa missed time due to a concussion earlier this season. However, the Utah product suffered a shoulder injury in his final start that led to an IR stint and resulted in Skylar Thompson moving into the backup role. Despite being healthy for a Thanksgiving Day matchup, Huntley was inactive, but he and Thompson are apparently set to swap roles in Week 14.

  • Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Status uncertain for rest of season

    Head coach Doug Pederson said Monday that no decision has been made yet if Lawrence (concussion) will play again this season, Kainani Stevens of the Jaguars' official site reports.

    Lawrence is in the concussion protocol after being carted off the field in Sunday's loss to the Texans following a vicious forearm to the head from linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair. The 2-10 Jaguars are in last place in the AFC South and all but eliminated from postseason contention, so it may make sense for the team to take a cautious approach with Lawrence, who also is dealing with an AC joint sprain in his non-throwing shoulder that could require offseason surgery. Mac Jones replaced Lawrence in the second quarter and completed 20 of 32 passes for 235 yards and two touchdowns in relief, almost leading a comeback after the Jaguars were down 23-6 in the fourth quarter.

  • Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Nursing sore leg

    Head coach Todd Bowles said that Mayfield is dealing with some soreness after being cleated in the back of his right leg during Sunday's 26-23 overtime win over the Panthers, but the Buccaneers anticipate the quarterback being ready to play in the team's Week 14 game versus the Raiders, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Mayfield missed just two of the Buccaneers' offensive snaps in the overtime victory, completing 21 of 33 pass attempts for 235 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions while carrying three times for eight yards on the day. The 29-year-old looks to have avoided anything serious, but he was spotted walking around with a limp in the locker room following the contest. Though the Buccaneers expect Mayfield to be healthy enough to play through the injury next Sunday at home versus the Raiders, his practice activity could be more limited than usual leading up to that contest.

  • Mac Jones QB | SF

    Jaguars' Mac Jones: Impressive in emergency duty

    Jones replaced Trevor Lawrence (concussion) with 3:57 remaining in the second quarter of the Jaguars' 23-20 loss to the Texans on Sunday and completed 20 of 32 passes for 235 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. He also rushed three times for six yards, recovered a fumble and threw a two-point conversion pass.

    Jones got off to a slow start reminiscent of his lackluster two-game starting stint in Weeks 10 and 11, but he built momentum over the course of the second half and nearly rallied the Jaguars via a pair of fourth-quarter scoring tosses to Parker Washington (22 yards) and Brian Thomas (six yards). Jones seemingly is slated for at least one more start at the very minimum in a Week 14 road matchup against the Titans, and given the state of Jacksonville's season and Lawrence's value to the franchise, the former could well remain under center for what remains of the campaign.

  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Will retain starting job

    Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said Monday that Rodgers will retain the Jets' starting quarterback job for the team's Week 14 game at Miami, Eric Allen of the team's official site reports. "We have great belief in Aaron, and we think he gives us the best opportunity to win," Ulbrich said.

    Ulbrich reaffirmed Rodgers' standing atop the depth chart after the veteran signal-caller endured another disappointing outing in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks, dropping the Jets to 3-9 on the season and putting the team on the brink of elimination from playoff contention. Coming out of a Week 12 bye, the Jets offense initially looked sharp with two first-quarter touchdowns, but Rodgers struggled to lead productive drives thereafter and threw a back-breaking pick-six midway through the second quarter that kicked off a stretch of 19 unanswered Seattle points to close out the game. Through his 12 starts this season, Rodgers has completed 62.5 percent of his passes for a career-low 6.3 yards per attempt, 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions. While Rodgers will remain the Jets' starter for at least one more week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Sunday that the 41-year-old signal-caller is viewed as a long shot to return to the team in 2025. As such, it wouldn't be surprising if Rodgers was benched at some point down the stretch in favor of Tyrod Taylor, as the 35-year-old backup is under contract through 2025.

  • Will Levis QB | TEN

    Titans' Will Levis: Two scores in blowout loss

    Levis completed 18 of 37 passes for 212 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 42-19 loss to the Commanders.

    Levis' final line looks mediocre, though he failed to get the Tennessee offense moving until the Commanders held a 28-0 lead. Nevertheless, he did throw for multiple touchdowns -- both of which went to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (24 and 17 yards) -- for the third time in the last four games. Most importantly for Levis, he once again limited mistakes by not turning the ball over and taking only two sacks. Though there are still inconsistencies, he's shown a decent amount of improvement from the start of the campaign.
