Lawrence will undergo tests on his injured right shoulder Monday, Juston Lewis of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Lawrence was forced to leave Sunday's contest early, and it sounds like the full extent of his injury will not be known for a while longer. C.J. Beathard replaced Lawrence on Sunday and would be in line to take over if Lawrence is forced to miss any further time.

Mullens completed 22 of 36 pass attempts for 411 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions in Sunday's 30-24 loss to Detroit. He had one rush for one yard and fumbled twice but did not lose either.

Mullens earned the starting nod after nearly leading Minnesota to victory in an overtime loss to Cincinnati last week. The veteran backup continued to sling the ball around freely, eclipsing 400 yards passing after throwing for 303 yards against the Bengals. While that style of play can result in the gaudy numbers we've seen so far from Mullens, it can also result in costly turnovers. The 28-year-old threw four more interceptions and nearly lost two fumbles after throwing two picks in his last start. That said, there is fantasy value to be had from Mullens based on passing volume alone -- especially in formats that do not punish turnovers harshly -- for next Sunday's home matchup against the Packers.

Tannehill completed 18 of 26 pass attempts for 152 yards and gained 37 yards on two rushing attempts in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Seattle.

Tannehill made his first start for the Titans since Week 6 in place of the injured Will Levis (ankle) on Sunday. The converted wide receiver put his athleticism on display on two healthy scrambles, but that's where the good news ends from Tannehill's day. The veteran signal-caller held the ball too long in the pocket and was coverage-sacked twice during the Titans' final offensive drive. The pair of mental miscues cost his team its last timeout and eliminated any potential for victory Sunday. Given Tannehill's poor play, Levis figures to reclaim the starting job in Tennessee if he is healthy enough to play against Houston next Sunday.

Goff completed 30 of 40 pass attempts for 257 yards with one touchdown during Sunday's 30-24 win over the Vikings.

Handling Minnesota's blitz-heavy defense without many problems, Goff completed 75 percent of his passes and could have had a much bigger game had Detroit not pounded in three touchdowns via rushing plays. Nonetheless, Goff has helped Detroit secure a division title for the first time in 30 years and notch the team's first since the division was remapped from the NFC Central to the NFC North in 2002. The Lions now aim to fight for playoff positioning starting with an important Week 17 showdown against Dallas.

Mills completed 15 of 32 passes for 149 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Browns. He also completed a two-point conversion.

Case Keenum got the start for the Texans, but Mills was seeing snaps in the first quarter on certain packages, and when the team fell behind 36-7 after Keenum's second interception of the day, Mills worked the entire fourth quarter and produced a couple of scoring drives while working against Cleveland's backup defenders. It was still a more effective performance than Keenum managed, and should C.J. Stroud not be able to clear the league's concussion protocol in time for a Week 17 meeting with the Titans, Mills could get the start.

Keenum completed 11 of 17 passes for 62 yards and two interceptions before being replaced by Davis Mills in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Browns.

Mills was subbing in on certain packages right out of the gate, suggesting Keenum had a short leash, and after Houston fell behind 36-7 following his second INT of the day, he got the hook for good. C.J. Stroud could clear the league's concussion protocol in time for a Week 17 tilt against the Titans, which should have a big impact on the Texans' playoff chances, but if the rookie QB remains sidelined for another game, Mills seems likely to get the start over Keenum.

Lawrence was forced out of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers with a shoulder injury.

Prior to his departure from the contest, Lawrence -- who won't return to action Sunday -- had completed 17 of 29 passing attempts for 211 yards with a TD and two picks while adding four carries for 29 yards. In his absence, C.J. Beathard is in at quarterback for the Jaguars.

Flacco completed 27 of 42 passes for 368 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions in Sunday's 36-22 win over the Texans. He also threw a two-point conversion.

The 38-year-old QB topped 300 passing yards for the third straight game and tossed multiple TDs for the fourth straight game, as Flacco's presence under center continues to revitalize what had been a stagnant Browns passing attack. Amari Cooper has been the biggest beneficiary of Flacco's arrival, and the wideout set a franchise record Sunday with 265 receiving yards. If there's one yellow flag regarding Flacco's career renaissance, it's that he has yet to face a secondary that grades out as even above-average statistically, but that will change in Week 17 when Sauce Gardner and the Jets come to Cleveland.

Siemian completed 27 of 49 passes for 217 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 30-28 win over the Commanders. He also gained 18 rushing yards on four carries but lost a fumble.

Despite a matchup against arguably the worst secondary in the NFL, Siemian made little effort to stretch the field, with his longest completion going for 16 yards to Garrett Wilson. A huge performance from Breece Hall, both on the ground and through the air, built a 27-7 lead for the Jets by halftime, but after the defense squandered it in the second half, Siemian was able to lead a successful two-minute drill that ended in a game-winning field goal by Greg Zuerlein with five seconds left on the clock. There's no guarantee Zach Wilson will be able to clear the league's concussion protocol in time for Thursday's game against the Browns, so Siemian could get another start in Week 17 against a much stingier opponent.

Brissett completed 10 of 13 passes for 100 yards and a touchdown after replacing Sam Howell in the third quarter of Sunday's 30-28 loss to the Jets.

With the Commanders in a 27-7 hole, coach Ron Rivera turned to Brissett for the second straight week to try and provide a spark to the team's offense. The veteran QB proceeded to lead Washington on three straight touchdown drives to take a 28-27 lead, only for the Jets to find a last-second field goal to salvage their victory. Brissett has a 3:0 TD:INT in his two relief appearances while Howell has a 2:8 TD:INT over the last five games, so Rivera could very well make the switch a more permanent one for a Week 17 clash with the 49ers.
