  • Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Trending toward not playing

    Speaking with the media Friday, coach Doug Pederson confirmed Lawrence (shoulder) is trending toward not playing Sunday against the Vikings, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Pederson said Mac Jones will start if Lawrence is indeed ruled out. The team also signed C.J. Beathard off the Dolphins' practice squad earlier in the week to serve as the likely backup. Pederson wouldn't speculate on possible surgery for Lawrence or a trip to injured reserve, but things could be trending that direction if Jacksonville's season continues to circle the drain.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Four TDs in TNF win

    Jackson completed 25 of 33 passes for 290 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed seven times for 33 yards in the Ravens' 35-34 win over the Bengals on Thursday night. He also recorded a two-point conversion run.

    Jackson averaged an elevated 8.8 yards per attempt and finished the game with a QB rating of 141.4, underscoring how efficient he was throughout the high-scoring victory. The veteran signal-caller extended his interception-less streak to four games as well, and his quartet of touchdown passes went to Nelson Agholor (six yards), Tylan Wallace (84 yards), Mark Andrews (18 yards) and Rashod Bateman (five yards). The final scoring strike snapped a 28-28 tie with 1:49 remaining, and it pushed Jackson to an elite 14:0 TD:INT over his last four contests. The 2018 first-round pick now has three games with at least four TD passes, affording him no shortage of momentum heading into a Week 11 AFC North road showdown against the Steelers on Sunday, Nov. 17.

  • Joe Burrow QB | CIN

    Bengals' Joe Burrow: Stellar numbers in loss

    Burrow completed 34 of 56 passes for 428 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions in the Bengals' 35-34 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night. He also rushed twice for six yards and committed two fumbles but lost neither.

    On the heels of a five-touchdown day against the Raiders in Week 9, Burrow nearly matched his stellar output Thursday while also recording a new season high in passing yards. The 2020 first overall pick connected with Tanner Hudson (three yards) and Ja'Marr Chase (67, 70 and five yards) for his quartet of scoring tosses, with the third to Chase leaving the Bengals just a point shy of tying the Ravens at 35-35 with only 38 seconds remaining. Head coach Zac Taylor opted to forgo a game-tying PAT and instead go for two points, but Burrow couldn't connect with Hudson on a play where Mike Gesicki also appeared to have potentially been impeded on his route. Cincinnati fell to 4-6 with the narrow defeat but Burrow remains one of the most prolific quarterbacks for fantasy purposes due in large part to his team's shoddy defense, a pattern that could persist in a Week 11 visit to the Chargers on Sunday, Nov. 17.

  • Mac Jones QB | SF

    Jaguars' Mac Jones: Could be headed for Week 10 start

    Jones was the first quarterback to go through drills during Thursday's practice and appears to be in line to start Sunday against the Vikings, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports.

    Head coach Doug Pederson didn't address the Jaguars' quarterback situation Thursday, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported earlier Thursday that Lawrence is unlikely to play Week 10 while he continues to receive treatment and weighs options for addressing discomfort in his non-throwing shoulder. Lawrence was listed as a limited participant in practice Thursday for the second day in a row, and official word on his status for Sunday may not arrive until after the Jaguars' final practice of the week Friday. That being said, the fact that Jones was first in line for drills supports the notion that Lawrence won't be available Sunday, as does the Jaguars' signing of C.J. Beathard off the Dolphins' practice squad Wednesday to fortify the quarterback room. Jones has served as Lawrence's backup through the Jaguars' first nine games of 2024 and has made just two brief cameos at the tail end of blowout losses in Weeks 3 and 6, but the 26-year-old boasts 42 games of NFL starting experience from his time in New England over the first three seasons of his career.

  • Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Remains limited, unlikely for Week 10

    Lawrence (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Though Lawrence was able to practice in a limited capacity for the second day in a row, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported earlier Thursday that the signal-caller is unlikely to play in Sunday's game against the Vikings while he continues to seek treatment options for ongoing discomfort in his non-throwing shoulder. Head coach Doug Pederson didn't address Lawrence's Week 10 status Thursday, but the Jaguars' signing of C.J. Beathard to the 53-man roster earlier in the week would seemingly support the notion that Lawrence isn't tracking toward playing Sunday. Mac Jones has served as the Jaguars' top backup this season and would be in line to start Sunday if Lawrence ends up sitting out.

  • Will Levis QB | TEN

    Titans' Will Levis: Turns in full practice

    Levis (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Levis had previously been listed as a non-participant or limited participant in each of the Titans' last eight practices, but his ability to log full reps Thursday likely signals that the young quarterback has moved past the sprained AC joint in his throwing shoulder that has been plaguing him since Week 4. Titans offensive coordinator Nick Holz seemed to confirm as much before Thursday's session got underway, telling Turron Davenport of ESPN.com that Levis had looked good throwing the football during his recent workouts Sunday and Wednesday. Titans head coach Brian Callahan has previously said that Levis will reclaim starting duties once healthy, so assuming the 25-year-old makes it out of Friday's practice no worse for the wear, he should be cleared to direct the Tennessee offense Sunday versus the Chargers.

  • Will Grier QB | DAL

    Will Grier: Getting cut from practice squad

    Philadelphia cut Grier from its practice squad Thursday.

    Grier was brought onto the Eagles' practice squad just before the start of the regular season, but now he's headed back to free agency. He'll have to look for his next opportunity to make an impression elsewhere.

  • Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Idle for practice again

    Mayfield (toe) won't participate in Thursday's practice, but he's still expected to start in Sunday's game against the 49ers, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Mayfield was one of five Buccaneers held out of practice Wednesday, two days after he played all 52 of the team's offensive snaps in a 30-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs. The quarterback didn't appear to be bothered by an injury during the contest, but a toe issue will end up keeping him off the practice field for the second day in a row. Though the Buccaneers haven't suggested that the injury will prevent Mayfield from playing Sunday, he may end up carrying a designation into the weekend if he sits out or is a limited participant in Friday's practice.

  • Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Unlikely to play Week 10

    Lawrence is considered unlikely to play Sunday against the Vikings while he continues to receive treatment for his left shoulder injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Lawrence appeared to sustain the injury to his non-throwing shoulder during a rushing attempt in the second quarter of this past Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Eagles. Though he didn't end up missing any snaps in Week 9, Lawrence was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, and Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson was unwilling to commit to the quarterback being ready to play against the Vikings. While the Jaguars haven't yet provided an update on Lawrence's status following Wednesday's practice, Rapoport suggests that the team is preparing to be without its franchise signal-caller for at least one game. Jacksonville signed C.J. Beathard off Miami's practice squad Tuesday to bolster their depth at quarterback, but Mac Jones will be in line to start Sunday's contest if Lawrence ends up being ruled out.

  • Dak Prescott QB | DAL

    Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Out 4-to-6 weeks at least

    Prescott sustained a partial avulsion of his right hamstring in Sunday's loss to Atlanta, and his best-case recovery timetable is 4-to-6 weeks, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports.

    Prescott is expected to be placed on injured reserve as a result, but the Cowboys have yet to make such a transaction as they seek varying opinions on how to proceed with his rehab. Rest and icing the region are the likely routes to take, but there's also a possibility that he'll require surgery, depending on the grade of the injury. Cooper Rush will step in for Prescott as Dallas' starter for as long as the latter is sidelined, while Trey Lance will be active on game days as the backup quarterback.
