  • 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.

  • Deshaun Watson QB | CLE

    Browns' Deshaun Watson: Out for Week 14

    Watson (Achilles) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Titans, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    The Browns opened Watson's 21-day practice window Wednesday to return from the PUP list, which is where he's resided since the start of training camp after undergoing a second surgery in early January to address a re-rupture of his right Achilles. He strung together limited showings in practice this week, but even if he gets medical clearance to play, he might not surpass rookies Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel on the depth chart.

  • Jayden Daniels QB | WAS

    Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Cleared to start Sunday

    Commanders coach Dan Quinn confirmed Friday that Daniels (left elbow) will start Sunday's game at Minnesota, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    An upgrade to full practice participation Thursday set the table for Daniels to return from a three-game, four-week absence. It's possible he runs less than usual initially, but the Commanders presumably wouldn't play him if he were limited in any significant way. The team around Daniels will probably be the best he's worked with all season, as the Commanders currently have all five O-line starters healthy, not to mention Terry McLaurin's recent return from a quad injury. The opponent appears less favorable, with Minnesota largely playing in low-scoring games or blowouts of late.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Back at practice

    Jackson (ankle) returned to practice Friday, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

    After opening Week 14 prep as limited due to an ankle issue, Jackson didn't practice Thursday, but offensive coordinator Todd Monken told Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com afterward that he expected Jackson to be under center Sunday against the Steelers. Jackson may need to practice in full Friday in order to avoid a designation for Week 14, something that will become known once the Ravens post their last injury report of the week.

  • Kyler Murray QB | ARI

    Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Won't return this year

    Murray's foot injury isn't improving and he won't play again this season, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon made the announcement Friday, confirming what many already expected. He didn't say if Murray will need surgery, nor did the coach comment on expectations for Murray's future (or lack thereof) with the Cardinals. Jacoby Brissett will continue making starts for Arizona, to the delight of anyone relying on TE Trey McBride or WR Michael Wilson in fantasy.

  • Justin Fields QB | NYJ

    Jets' Justin Fields: May miss Week 14

    Coach Aaron Glenn said Friday that Fields is dealing with a sore knee, and "there's a chance" he'll be inactive Sunday against the Dolphins, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

    Fields has served as the Jets' backup quarterback to Tyrod Taylor the last two games, but a knee injury that resulted in a limited practice Thursday now is threatening his availability for Week 14. If Fields ends up sitting out this weekend, practice-squad member Brady Cook will serve as the No. 2 behind Taylor.

  • Jared Goff QB | DET

    Lions' Jared Goff: Eclipses 300-yard mark in win

    Goff completed 25 of 34 passes for 309 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions while rushing twice for minus-2 yards in the Lions' 44-30 win over the Cowboys on Thursday night.

    Goff put together a solid all-around performance in a game where he had the benefit of the lead for the majority of the time, averaging 9.1 yards per attempt on the way to his third 300-yard effort of the season. The veteran signal-caller completed five passes of 20-plus yards overall, with Jameson Williams, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jahmyr Gibbs serving as his top three targets and Isaac TeSlaa on the receiving end of his one touchdown pass (12 yards). Goff boasts an impressive 70.1 percent completion rate and elite 26:5 TD:INT heading into a Week 15 road clash against his old Rams squad on Dec. 14.

  • Dak Prescott QB | DAL

    Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Racks up yardage in loss

    Prescott completed 31 of 47 passes for 376 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions while adding three rushes for 14 yards in the Cowboys' 44-30 loss to the Lions on Thursday night. He also threw a two-point conversion pass and committed a fumble recovered by Dallas.

    Prescott lost CeeDee Lamb to a concussion early in the third quarter, but that didn't deter the standout signal-caller from a season-high yardage total on his way to his third straight 300-yard game. Game script also worked toward supporting a heavy-volume night for Prescott, whose number of pass attempts was his second highest of the season. Prescott connected with eight different targets overall, and Ryan Flournoy (42 yards) and Jake Ferguson were on the receiving end of his one touchdown pass and two-point conversion toss, respectively. Prescott and his teammates will continue their quest to eventually punch a postseason ticket in a Week 15 Sunday night home clash against the Vikings on Dec. 14.

  • Justin Herbert QB | LAC

    Chargers' Justin Herbert: Limited practice Thursday

    Herbert (left hand) was limited at practice Thursday.

    Herbert, who underwent surgery to stabilize a fracture in his left (non-throwing) hand Monday, sported a cast while tossing passes during Thursday's session, per Kris Rhim of ESPN.com. The QB now has two more chances to practice fully before injury designations for this coming Monday night's contest against the Eagles are posted, but 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." For his part, coach Jim Harbaugh said the Chargers are optimistic Herbert will play versus Philadelphia, but they are preparing backup Trey Lance to start if necessary.

  • Geno Smith QB | LV

    Raiders' Geno Smith: Turns in full practice Thursday

    Smith (foot) practiced fully Thursday.

    Smith was limited at practice Wednesday, but his return to a full session Thursday paves the way for the QB to start Sunday's game against the 10-2 Broncos, a tough matchup that limits his lineup utility to deeper formats with four teams on bye this week. In the Raiders' Week 13 loss to the Chargers, Smith completed 18 of his 23 pass attempts for 165 yards with two touchdowns and a pick, while rushing twice for minus-6 yards and a fumble that Las Vegas recovered.
