Herbert completed 21 of 36 pass attempts for 218 yards, no touchdowns or turnovers while rushing four times for 29 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 30-23 loss to the Ravens.

Herbert didn't post big passing numbers on Monday Night Football, but he helped fantasy managers with his second rushing touchdown of the season. The 26-year-old didn't perform poorly as a passer, per se, but it was also his second game this year without throwing a touchdown pass in head coach Jim Harbaugh's more reserved offense. Herbert has a high enough floor to warrant consideration in next Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.

Stick (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's contest against the Ravens and will serve as Los Angeles' emergency third quarterback.

Stick hasn't yet played in a game this season, as he remains firmly behind starter Justin Herbert and backup Taylor Heinicke on the QB depth chart. As the emergency third quarterback Monday, Stick can enter the contest against Baltimore only if both Herbert and Heinicke are unable to play due to injury, illness or ejection.

O'Connell (thumb) was designated to return to practice on Monday.

The move arrives at an opportune time for the Raiders, with head coach Antonio Pierce having confirmed Monday that Gardner Minshew will be out for the rest of the season after suffering a broken collarbone Sunday, per Levi Edwards of the team's official site. As for O'Connell's potential availability for Friday's game against the Chiefs, Pierce noted that the signal-caller has "been ramping up," while acknowledging that a call on O'Connell's Week 13 status will be up to the Raiders' medical staff. In the event that O'Connell isn't activated from IR ahead of Friday's contest, Desmond Ridder would be in line to draw the start against Kansas City.

Rush (knee) was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Monday's session was merely a walkthrough, per Archer, but Rush's listed limitations make his status worth tracking ahead of Thursday's 4:30 p.m. ET game against the Giants. For his part, head coach Mike McCarthy downplayed the QB's knee issue following Week 12 action. "He's got some work to do, but I think we're gonna be fine," McCarthy noted of Rush on Monday. However, in the event that Rush encounters any setbacks, Trey Lance would be next in line to log the Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day start.

Head coach Antonio Pierce confirmed Monday that Minshew will be out for the rest of the season after suffering a broken collarbone in Sunday's 29-19 loss to the Broncos, Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site reports.

The report also notes that Pierce confirmed that Aidan O'Connell, who suffered a thumb injury Week 7, could be activated from injured reserve ahead of Friday's game against the Chiefs. "We'll see if Aidan is good to go," Pierce said of O'Connell on Monday. "He's been ramping up." Look for added context regarding O'Connell's status to arrive once the Raiders' first injury report of Week 13 is posted, but if O'Connell isn't ready to face Kansas City, Desmond Ridder would get Las Vegas' starting QB nod.

DeVito (undisclosed) wasn't listed on Monday's estimated practice report ahead of Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

DeVito was banged up late in Sunday's loss to the Bucs and had to come out of the game, but coach Brian Daboll said afterward that he was hopeful DeVito would be able to start Thursday. It would seem that will be the case, as DeVito avoided the injury report altogether Monday. The Dallas defense is likely a better one-for-one fantasy bet than DeVito in Week 13.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Purdy (shoulder) did some light throwing Monday and didn't have any issues, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Purdy will rest Tuesday and see how the shoulder feels over the course of the week. He was unable to play in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Packers, and Brandon Allen started and struggled mightily in Purdy's absence, completing 17 of 29 passes for 199 yards (6.9 yards per attempt) and one touchdown with one interception. The 5-6 49ers will have a tough road matchup with the Bills on tap Sunday.

Coach Antonio Pierce said Monday that O'Connell (thumb) will be designated to return from injured reserve and participate in Tuesday's walk-through, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

The Raiders' hope is that O'Connell will be ready to start Friday's Week 13 game against the Chiefs after Gardner Minshew suffered a season-ending broken collarbone in Sunday's loss to the Broncos. O'Connell broke his thumb in Week 7 after making a pair of starts and appearing in a total of four games to begin the 2024 campaign. With Minshew done for the year, it will be a chance for the Raiders to get another lengthy look at their second-year quarterback.

Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said that Lawrence (shoulder) will practice Monday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Lawrence missed the Jaguars' final two games prior to the team's Week 12 bye with an AC joint sprain in his left (non-throwing) shoulder. While the quarterback could require surgery at some point to address the injury, the Jaguars don't appear ready to shut him down for the season just yet. Pederson said that the Jaguars will see how Lawrence fares in practice throughout the week before a determination is made on his status for Sunday's game against the Texans. If Lawrence remains sidelined for another contest, the Jaguars would turn to either Mac Jones or C.J. Beathard to start.

Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that he's "hopeful" DeVito (undisclosed) will be able to start Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Though Daboll didn't go into specifics about what type of injury DeVito might be dealing with coming out Sunday's 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers, the second-year quarterback gave way to backup Drew Lock for one snap in the fourth quarter after he appeared to have the wind knocked out of him following a hit. While he didn't commit any turnovers in Sunday's loss, DeVito took four sacks while completing 21 of 31 pass attempts for a modest 189 yards and no touchdowns. The starting job looks like it will belong to DeVito for at least one more game if he can suit up, but he may need a better showing in the Thanksgiving Day matchup with Dallas to retain his spot atop the depth chart for the balance of the season.
