  • Bo Nix QB | DEN

    Broncos' Bo Nix: Full participant Friday

    Nix (back) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Nix's return to full participation Friday suggests he isn't in danger of sitting out Monday's game against the Browns after being limited on Thursday's practice estimate. The rookie quarterback confirmed as much himself Friday by stating "I'm good to go," per Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post. Barring a setback, Nix won't have an injury designation when the Broncos release their final injury report Saturday.

  • Brock Purdy QB | SF

    49ers' Brock Purdy: Expected to play after full practice

    Purdy (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Buffalo, with 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan saying Friday that he expects the QB to play, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    "Lots of things can happen between now and then," Shanahan said Friday. "But right now [Purdy]'s playing." The coach's optimism is backed by Purdy's upgrade to full practice participation Friday, setting him up to return from a one-game absence unless there's a last-minute setback ahead of the 49ers' 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

  • Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Listed as questionable, expected to play

    Lawrence (left shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans after practicing in a limited fashion this week.

    Per Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union, Lawrence -- who is dealing with an injury to his non-throwing shoulder -- appeared to look much more comfortable while getting his throws in at practice Friday, with the QB expected to play Sunday. Meanwhile, Michael DiRocco of ESPN relays that head coach Doug Pederson indicated Friday that if Lawrence -- who had a good week of practice -- is active this weekend, he'll have no limitations in his first game action since Nov. 3. Final confirmation of Lawrence's Week 13 availability is slated to arrive prior to the first wave of games Sunday, with the Jaguars kicking off at 1:00 ET.

  • Drew Lock QB | SEA

    Giants' Drew Lock: No starter named for Week 14 yet

    Giants coach Brian Daboll said Friday that he doesn't know if Lock or Tommy DeVito (forearm) will start at quarterback in Week 14 against the Saints, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.

    Lock filled in as the starter for an injured DeVito on Thursday, committing two turnovers while throwing for 178 yards on 32 attempts in a 27-20 loss at Dallas. Lock ended up with a decent fantasy score thanks to four rush attempts for 57 yards and a TD, but his pick-six and lost fumble made it challenging for the Giants to win. DeVito may thus step back in as the starter once he's deemed healthy enough to play.

  • Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Trending toward return Sunday

    Head coach Doug Pederson noted Friday that Lawrence (left shoulder) is trending toward playing Sunday against the Texans, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

    When discussing the status of Lawrence -- who has missed two straight games -- Pederson said "he's had a good week. Done some really good things this week. I would say as of right now, yes, he will play." Friday's injury report will reveal if Lawrence heads into the weekend carrying an injury designation.

  • Tua Tagovailoa QB | MIA

    Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Racks up yardage in loss

    Tagovailoa completed 36 of 45 passes for 357 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and added two rushes for six yards in the Dolphins' 30-17 loss to the Packers on Thursday. He also threw a two-point conversion pass.

    Tagovailoa's final numbers look undeniably impressive without context, particularly for a cold-weather environment in which he's typically had trouble. However, the on-field reality was a bit different, as the Dolphins were already in a 24-3 hole at the half. Tagovailoa did move his team much more efficiently as the game went on, leading three second-half drives of 67 yards or greater, with two of those culminating in touchdown passes to De'Von Achane (14 yards) and Tyreek Hill (12 yards) in the third and fourth quarters, respectively. The 2020 first-round pick also completed a two-point conversion pass to Jaylen Waddle after the first scoring toss, and he threw multiple touchdown strikes without an interception for the third consecutive game. Tagovailoa and the Dolphins will continue their uphill battle to remain in the AFC playoff picture when they host the Jets in a Week 14 divisional matchup on Sunday, Dec. 8, although Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports that the talented signal-caller was walking with a limp in the postgame locker room.

  • Jordan Love QB | GB

    Packers' Jordan Love: Big performance against Miami

    Love completed 21 of 28 passes for 274 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Thursday's 30-17 win over the Dolphins.

    Love got off to a quick start, as he threw a pair of touchdowns to Jayden Reed by halftime. The Packers slowed things down in the final two quarters as they maintained a three-score lead, but Love managed to rack up yardage thanks to 49 and 46-yard completions. He also limited mistakes and negative plays, as he didn't turn the ball over and didn't take a sack. This was arguably Love's most well-rounded game of the season and should give the Green Bay offense some momentum heading into a pivotal Week 14 showdown with the Lions.

  • Drew Lock QB | SEA

    Giants' Drew Lock: Disappoints in spot start

    Lock completed 21 of 32 passes for 178 yards with no touchdowns and one interception and added four rushes for 57 yards and a touchdown in the Giants' 27-20 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday. He also lost a fumble.

    Lock got his sought-after chance for a start with Tommy DeVito (forearm) sidelined, but the veteran signal-caller ultimately produced middling results with his Thanksgiving opportunity. Lock's afternoon did start off in promising fashion, as he led a 13-play, 70-yard march on the Giants' first possession that culminated with a Tyrone Tracy touchdown run. However, Lock threw a pick-six on the next drive and subsequently lost a fumble on the first possession of the second half, which led to another Cowboys score. Lock did cap off the Giants' last possession of the day with an eight-yard touchdown run, but New York never got the ball back. Thursday may have well represented Lock's only starting opportunity for now, considering DeVito should be ready to play by the time a Week 14 home matchup against the Saints on Sunday, Dec. 8 rolls around.

  • Cooper Rush QB | BAL

    Cowboys' Cooper Rush: Limits mistakes on Thanksgiving

    Rush completed 21 of 36 passes for 195 yards, one touchdown and zero interceptions in Thursday's 27-20 win over the Giants. He added five rushes for zero yards.

    Rush wasn't asked to do much, as the Cowboys cashed in a pick-six and also scored on a short field to begin the third quarter. As a result, Rush didn't have to be aggressive in pushing the ball down the field, but he didn't turn the ball over and didn't take a sack to keep the Cowboys' offense on schedule. His 5.4 yards per attempt weren't inspiring, but he did throw for at least one touchdown for the third time in his four starts this season. Rush will likely have to be more aggressive in a Week 14 matchup against Cincinnati, which could lead to a better stat line.

  • Tyler Huntley QB | BAL

    Dolphins' Tyler Huntley: Emergency QB against Packers

    Huntley (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Dolphins' emergency quarterback against the Packers on Thursday.

    Huntley was activated off injured reserve earlier Thursday after missing the Dolphins' last five games due to a right shoulder injury. He will only see the field if Tua Tagovailoa and Skylar Thompson are injured during Thursday's game.
