  • Brady Cook QB | NYJ

    Jets' Brady Cook: Signs with New York

    The Jets signed Cook to the active roster Saturday, Susanna Weir and Eric Allen of the team's official site report.

    With Justin Fields (knee) ruled out, Cook will be the backup to Tyrod Taylor for Sunday's divisional contest with the Dolphins. The quarterback was elevated twice this season, once in Week 3 to be the backup to Taylor and once in Week 8 to be the backup to Fields.

  • John Wolford QB | MIN

    Vikings' John Wolford: Signs with active roster

    The Vikings signed Wolford to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders.

    Wolford was elevated to the active roster for Week 13 against the Seahawks as a backup for Max Brosmer in the absence of starter J.J. McCarthy. With McCarthy and Brosmer once again healthy for Week 14, it seems the Vikings organization felt it had a roster spot available to commit to depth in the quarterback room.

  • Justin Herbert QB | LAC

    Chargers' Justin Herbert: Officially questionable for Monday

    Herbert (left hand) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Eagles.

    Herbert sustained a fracture in his left hand last Sunday against the Raiders and underwent surgery in the wake of the contest. He then opened Week 14 prep with back-to-back limited sessions Thursday and Friday, before being handed the ball when simulating taking snaps under center at Saturday's practice, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic. Herbert thus may log most of his reps in the shotgun Monday, assuming he's made active for that contest.

  • Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Set for Week 14 action

    Mayfield (left shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Saints, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Mayfield opened Week 14 prep with a limited walkthrough Wednesday due to the AC joint sprain that he suffered in his left shoulder during a Week 12 loss at the Rams. He capped the week with full sessions Thursday and Friday, clearing him to suit up again Sunday. Mayfield's available skill-position talent will be composed of RBs Bucky Irving and Rachaad White, WRs Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin, Tez Johnson and Sterling Shepard and TE Cade Otton after WRs Mike Evans (collarbone) and Jalen McMillan (neck), both of whom were designated to return from IR this week, were ruled out by Tampa Bay.

  • Marcus Mariota QB | WAS

    Commanders' Marcus Mariota: Returning to backup role

    Mariota will serve as Washington's backup quarterback Sunday against the Vikings, as John Keim of ESPN.com reports that Jayden Daniels (elbow) will start.

    Daniels will return for his first action since dislocating his left elbow Nov. 9. Mariota has seen extensive action due to Daniels' injury woes in 2025, as the veteran backup has appeared in eight of Washington's 12 games, including six starts. Mariota has posted a 9:6 TD:INT but picked up only one win.

  • Justin Herbert QB | LAC

    Chargers' Justin Herbert: Another limited session

    Herbert (left hand) practiced in a limited capacity Friday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

    Herbert missed a handful of plays in this past Sunday's win against the Raiders due to a left hand injury, for which he underwent surgery to stabilize a fracture Monday, according to Rhim. On Wednesday, Herbert told Rhim that "the plan is to prepare as if I'm going to play and see how the next couple of days goes." Herbert progressed enough by Friday to take snaps under center, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic, which generally is a good sign that he's trending in a positive direction. Saturday's injury report ultimately will reveal if he has a designation for Monday's contest against the Eagles.

  • Justin Fields QB | NYJ

    Jets' Justin Fields: Won't suit up for Week 14

    Fileds (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Undrafted rookie Brady Cook is poised to work as the backup to Tyrod Taylor in Fields' absence. Fields is dealing with a sore knee, and his next chance to play will come Sunday, Dec. 14 at Jacksonville.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Ready for Week 14

    Jackson (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest against the Steelers.

    Jackson was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to an ankle issue that kept him out of drills entirely Thursday. He told Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com on Friday that he was stepped on by a teammate during Wednesday's session, but he's also feeling "pretty good," as evidenced by his ability to cap Week 14 with a full practice. Jackson thus will continue to direct the Ravens offense Sunday versus a Pittsburgh defense that has allowed the seventh-most passing yards (3,177) to opposing quarterbacks in 12 games this season.

  • J.J. McCarthy QB | MIN

    Vikings' J.J. McCarthy: Good to go

    McCarthy (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    McCarthy cleared concussion protocol Wednesday or Thursday and managed full practice participation throughout the week. There's not much good to say about his 2025 campaign or Minnesota's offense, but they'll at least be at home against a Washington defense that's allowing 254.9 passing yards per game (30th) and 8.7 YPA (32nd). Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Friday that McCarthy had a "great week" of practice.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Set to play in Week 14

    Coach John Harbaugh said Friday that Jackson (ankle) is poised to play Sunday versus the Steelers, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Whether or not Jackson will enter the weekend with a designation remains to be seen, but Harbaugh's comments indicate the franchise quarterback will continue to play through the pain. Jackson was limited Wednesday and didn't practice Thursday due to an ankle issue, but he was able to mix back into drills Friday, so he either will be listed as questionable or cleared entirely on the Ravens' final Week 14 injury report.
