  • Tommy DeVito QB | NE

    Giants' Tommy DeVito: Suffers concussion

    DeVito won't return to Sunday's game versus the Ravens due to a concussion, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Prior to exiting late in the first half, DeVito completed 10 of 13 passes for 68 yards and had one carry for no yards. With a concussion confirmed for DeVito, Tim Boyle has taken over the Giants offense, while Drew Lock (heel/elbow), who is inactive Sunday, serves as the emergency third quarterback.

    Giants' Tommy DeVito: Being checked for concussion

    DeVito is under evaluation for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Ravens, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    DeVito was getting a spot start for Drew Lock (heel/elbow) in Week 15, completing 10 of 13 passes for 68 yards and gaining no yards on his only carry. He was on the receiving end of a roughing the passer penalty late in the first half, which forced him to the locker room at the end of that drive. Backup Tim Boyle kneeled down for the final snap before halftime, at which point the Giants announced DeVito was being checked for a head injury. If DeVito is diagnosed with a concussion, Boyle will lead New York's offense the rest of the way, while Lock also is available as the emergency third quarterback.

  • Logan Woodside QB | ARI

    Bengals' Logan Woodside: Available as emergency QB

    Woodside (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

    The quarterback is, however, available in case Joe Burrow and Jake Browning get injured, sick or ejected. Woodside just signed from Cincinnati's practice squad to the active roster Saturday. The 2018 seventh-round pick has just seven career pass attempts.

  • Jeff Driskel QB | WAS

    Commanders' Jeff Driskel: Available as emergency QB

    Driskel (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints.

    The quarterback can only enter the contest if starter Jayden Daniels and backup Marcus Mariota can't continue to play. Driskel has played on one offensive snap this season.

  • Derek Carr QB | NO

    Saints' Derek Carr: Officially inactive Sunday

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

    Per Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com, Carr also isn't available as the Saints' emergency third quarterback, indicating that he hasn't made his way through the concussion protocol, at the very least. Carr also is dealing with a fracture in his left, non-throwing hand, so it may be some time before he receives clearance for game action. Jake Haener will get the spot start in place of Carr on Sunday, while Spencer Rattler will serve as the backup.

  • Drew Lock QB | SEA

    Giants' Drew Lock: Sidelined for Week 15 game

    Lock (heel/elbow) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens as New York's emergency No. 3 quarterback, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Lock is dealing with a left elbow injury and a sore heel, though the latter issue is considered the greater concern after the quarterback had been in a walking boot this past week. He was unable to practice Wednesday through Friday, though the Giants still left the door open for Lock to be available as a backup to Tommy DeVito on Sunday by listing him as doubtful heading into the weekend. As a result of his inactive status, Lock won't be available to play Sunday unless DeVito and backup Tim Boyle -- who was elevated from the practice squad Saturday -- are forced out of the contest due to injury. Head coach Brian Daboll previously said that Lock will be the Giants' starter when healthy, so the 28-year-old could resume directing the offense Week 16 against the Falcons if he shows improvement in his recovery from his two injuries.

  • Jaren Hall QB | SEA

    Seahawks' Jaren Hall: Elevated from practice squad

    Hall was elevated from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Hall was part of the active roster for the first time this season in the Week 13 matchup against the Jets, but he didn't suit up. With Geno Smith and Sam Howell available as the top two options at quarterback for Seattle, Hall is expected to be the emergency signal-caller Sunday.

  • 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.
