  • Russell Wilson QB | NYG

    Giants' Russell Wilson: Operating as emergency QB

    Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive but operating as the Giants' emergency third quarterback in Monday night's matchup with the Patriots, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

    Wilson will be inactive for the first time this season as Jaxson Dart returns from a two-game absence following a concussion, reclaiming the starting role while Jameis Winston serves as his top backup. Wilson will only be able to enter the contest if both Dart and Winston are removed from the game.

  • Tommy DeVito QB | NE

    Patriots' Tommy DeVito: Emergency QB3 for MNF

    DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Giants.

    DeVito will serve as the Patriots' emergency QB3 behind Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs. DeVito hasn't appeared in a game this season.

  • Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: To start again in Week 14

    Coach Jonathan Gannon announced Monday that Kyler Murray (foot) won't be designated for return from injured reserve this week, setting up Brissett for another start Sunday versus the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    During Murray's current seven-game absence as he tends to a mid-foot sprain, Brissett has eclipsed 300 yards passing four times and tossed exactly two touchdowns on six occasions. Overall, Brissett has completed 67.8 percent of his passes (204 of 301) for 2,188 yards with a 13:4 TD:INT while adding 26 carries for 114 yards and another score during that span. In Week 14, he'll be taking on a Rams defense that has surrendered the seventh-fewest yards per attempt (6.5) to opposing quarterbacks this season, so the sledding may be a bit tougher for Brissett this time around.

  • Kyler Murray QB | ARI

    Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Will not practice this week

    Murray (foot) will not return to practice this week, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Murray remains on injured reserve but is eligible to have his 21-day practice window opened. However, the Cardinals will not start Murray's clock for a return, and he'll stick on injured reserve for at least one more week while his foot continues to heal. Jacoby Brissett again will operate under center as the Cardinals' starting quarterback.

  • J.J. McCarthy QB | MIN

    Vikings' J.J. McCarthy: Closing in on clearing concussion protocol

    Coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that McCarthy doesn't have concussion symptoms anymore and should emerge from the protocol for head injuries if he practices fully Wednesday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

    If that occurs, McCarthy will resume starting duties Week 14 against the Commanders after sitting out this past Sunday's loss at Seattle, when undrafted rookie Max Brosmer got the nod and stumbled through a 26-0 shutout loss. McCarthy didn't fair much better in his four appearances prior to sitting out Week 13, completing 62 of 118 passes (52.5 percent) for 628 yards, four touchdowns and seven interceptions and taking 16 carries for 70 yards and one TD during that span.

  • Sam Darnold QB | SEA

    Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Dealing with minor ankle issue

    Coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Darnold was dealing with an ankle injury during Sunday's win over the Vikings, but the quarterback "should be good to go" for Week 14 against the Falcons, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Darnold was in the blue medical tent on the sideline a couple times against Minnesota, but he didn't miss any offensive snaps prior to giving way to Drew Lock for the final drive of the 26-0 win. Darnold might be listed on the injury report this week, but it sounds like it would be a surprise to see him have an injury designation ahead of next Sunday's game against Atlanta.

  • Justin Herbert QB | LAC

    Chargers' Justin Herbert: Should play in Week 14

    Herbert is slated to undergo surgery Monday to repair a metacarpal fracture on his left (non-throwing) hand, but the Chargers plan to have the quarterback available for their Week 14 game against the Eagles, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    After suffering the injury in the first quarter and missing nine plays in the first half of Sunday's 31-14 win over the Raiders, Herbert was able to check back into the contest and finished the game with 15 completions on 20 attempts for 151 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while adding eight yards on three carries. Head coach Jim Harbaugh confirmed after the game that Herbert would be sent for surgery, but the Chargers are optimistic that the signal-caller won't miss further time. Herbert will be aided by an extra day of recovery ahead of a Monday nighter versus Philadelphia, and Los Angeles could also deploy him in more shotgun formations depending on how much difficulty he has handing off the ball. Herbert is also likely to continue wearing some type of supportive cast or glove, as he did after returning to Sunday's contest.

  • Dillon Gabriel QB | CLE

    Browns' Dillon Gabriel: Needed for one snap

    Gabriel replaced starter Shedeur Sanders for one snap in Sunday's 26-8 loss to the 49ers in Week 13, completing his only pass attempt for zero yards.

    Gabriel was needed for one play when Sanders was required to leave the field following a sack during which he appeared to tweak his ankle. He was checked out by team trainers, triggering a mandatory removal, and Gabriel entered. Sanders will remain the starter for Week 14 against Tennessee.

  • Marcus Mariota QB | WAS

    Commanders' Marcus Mariota: Strong effort in tough matchup

    Mariota completed 28 of 50 passes for 294 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 27-26 overtime loss to the Broncos. He added 10 rushes for 55 yards.

    Mariota turned in a valiant effort in the loss, logging a career high in pass attempts while racking up his most passing yards in a game since Week 3 of the 2019 season. While he wasn't particularly efficient, Mariota delivered several splash plays, highlighted by six completions of at least 15 yards and a rush attempt that went for a gain of 19. This marked Mariota's third straight start in the absence of Jayden Daniels (elbow), and he's done an admirable job by maintaining a 5:1 TD:INT. The return of Terry McLaurin also improves Mariota's outlook in a Week 14 matchup against the Vikings, should Daniels remain sidelined.

  • Bo Nix QB | DEN

    Broncos' Bo Nix: Earns ninth consecutive win

    Nix completed 29 of 45 pass attempts for 321 yards, one touchdown and one interception while gaining 16 yards on two carries in Sunday's 27-26 overtime win over Washington.

    Nix required the extra overtime period in order to put away the now 3-9 Commanders and extend the Broncos' current win streak to nine games. The 45 attempts and 321 passing yards marked the second-highest totals in each respective category for the sophomore signal-caller through 12 starts this year. The Oregon product hasn't taken a step forward from his promising rookie totals in 2024, but he has maintained steady fantasy value with modest passing yardage numbers to go along with 20 combined touchdowns to 10 turnovers. Nix will attempt to clean up the two interceptions he threw against the Raiders back in Week 10 when these two AFC West rivals face off again next Sunday.
