Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Wednesday that he'll wait until the end of the week before deciding between Rivers and Riley Leonard (knee) as the starting quarterback for Sunday's game in Seattle, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site reports.

Rivers, 44, hasn't played in an NFL game since Jan. 9, 2021, and he even acknowledged Wednesday that he's heavier now than he was at the time he stepped away from football, per James Boyd of The Athletic. Steichen mentioned the need to get "back into football shape" but didn't explicitly shut the door on Rivers starting immediately. It's a big ask, but the team doesn't seem to have much confidence in Leonard, who entered the season as a third-stringer and suffered a PCL injury after replacing Daniel Jones (Achilles) during Sunday's loss at Jacksonville. Leonard stayed in the game and is now practicing Wednesday, but it's possible the minor injury impacts his mobility and thus plays a role in the decision as to who starts under center in Week 15.

Pickett likely will replace Geno Smith (shoulder) as the starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Smith isn't practicing Wednesday and reportedly isn't expected to be ready by Sunday. The Raiders might've gone in this direction at some point in December even without the impetus of an injury given the consistently poor performance of their offense this season.

Smith (shoulder) won't practice Wednesday and is considered unlikely to start Sunday's game against the Eagles, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Kenny Pickett is thus in line to start against his former team, with Aidan O'Connell presumably taking over the backup role. Pickett replaced Smith after he suffered a shoulder injury late in the third quarter of Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Broncos.

Jackson (undisclosed) isn't practicing Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

As Hensley notes, this marks the fifth straight week that Jackson has missed at least one practice as he manages different injury issues. In the previous four weeks, the QB has gone on to start for the Ravens. The team's upcoming practice report will reveal whether Jackson is listed with an ankle injury, as he was in Week 14.

Cook will get all the first-team reps at Wednesday's practice, while neither Tyrod Taylor (groin) or Justin Fields (knee) will practice in any capacity, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

Cook is the only healthy quarterback on the roster for the Jets as they begin preparing for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, though New York added Adrian Martinez to the mix Wednesday by signing Martinez to the practice squad. If Taylor and Fields are both unavailable Sunday, Cook would be in line to make his first NFL start. Cook saw his first regular-season NFL action in this past Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins after Taylor exited in the first half. The undrafted rookie out of Missouri completed 14 of 30 passes for 163 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions against Miami.

Martinez signed with the Jets' practice squad Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Martinez was cut by the Jets in August after spending the 2024 season on their practice squad. He had been with the 49ers organization for most of the 2025 campaign prior to getting cut from San Francisco's practice squad Tuesday. If neither Tyrod Taylor (groin) nor Justin Fields (knee) gain clearance to play Sunday against the Jaguars, Martinez would likely be elevated to back up undrafted rookie Brady Cook.

Coach Aaron Glenn said that Tyrod Taylor (groin) and Fields (knee) won't practice Wednesday.

With both players set to miss practice, the Jets' Week 15 QB situation is very much up in the air. Per Glenn, Brady Cook will handle first-team reps Wednesday, with Adrian Martinez now also in the team's signal-caller mix as Sunday's game against the Jaguars approaches. Both Fields and Taylor are set to be re-evaluated as the week progresses.

Coach Aaron Glenn said that Taylor (groin) and Justin Fields (knee) won't practice Wednesday.

With both signal-callers set to miss practice, Brady Cook will handle first-team reps Wednesday, and Adrian Martinez is now also in the mix, per Glenn. Taylor thus has two more chances to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, but at this stage, the Jets' Week 15 QB situation is very much up in the air.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday that Mariota will start Sunday's game against the Giants and that Jayden Daniels (elbow) is ruled out.

Mariota started in place of an injured Daniels from Week 8 to Week 13, a five-game stretch in which he averaged 186.6 passing yards and 30.8 rushing yards per contest, totaling six touchdowns and four interceptions. Daniels' return to action versus the Vikings in Week 14 was brief, as he was forced out in the third quarter due to an elbow injury. Entering in relief, Mariota completed two of four passes for 30 yards and an INT versus Minnesota while also rushing twice for seven yards and losing one fumble. While Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Daniels' current elbow injury is not a long-term concern and that he's suffered no structural setbacks, it's entirely possible Washington could opt to prioritize the franchise signal-caller's health and start Mariota under center for the remainder of the 2025 campaign.

Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday that Daniels (elbow) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Daniels suffered a left elbow injury during Washington's blowout loss to the Vikings in Week 14, and though it was reported that the second-year QB could have re-entered the contest and is not dealing with a long-term issue, backup Marcus Mariota will draw at least one more start. It remains to be seen whether Daniels could be sidelined longer than just Week 15, as his return versus Minnesota was his first game action since Week 7. Adam Schefter of ESPN confirms that he has not suffered any structural setbacks. Daniels' next chance to take the field will come Week 16 at home against the Eagles on Saturday, Dec. 20.
