  • Kyle Trask QB | TB

    Buccaneers' Kyle Trask: Cameo appearance in Week 13 win

    Trask replaced Baker Mayfield (leg) for two plays during the Buccaneers' 26-23 overtime win against the Panthers on Sunday and completed his only pass attempt for five yards.

    Trask took his first snap with 5:32 remaining in the third quarter on a handoff to Bucky Irving (hip) and completed a five-yard pass to his running back on the next play before Mayfield reentered the contest after walking off his leg injury, which was the result of being cleated. The pass was Trask's first of the season and came in what was his second appearance overall. Mayfield was experiencing leg soreness Monday, per Jenna Laine of ESPN.com, but he's expected to be ready to play in Sunday's Week 14 home matchup against the Raiders.

  • Michael Pratt: Returns to practice squad

    Pratt reverted to Tampa Bay's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Though Pratt was elevated for Week 13, he was inactive against Carolina. The rookie quarterback hasn't yet gotten to NFL game with both Baker Mayfield (leg) and Kyle Trask ahead of him on the depth chart. It would likely take an absence by one of those two quarterbacks for Pratt to be active on a game day this season.

  • Jaren Hall QB | SEA

    Jaren Hall: Back with practice squad

    Hall reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Hall was inactive for Sunday's 26-21 win over the Jets, joining the active roster for the first time this season. With Geno Smith and Sam Howell operating as the team's top two options at quarterback, Hall hasn't had a direct path to playing time.

  • 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 | NYJ

    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.
