  • Tyrod Taylor QB | NYJ

    Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Not practicing Wednesday

    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.

  • Marcus Mariota QB | WAS

    Commanders' Marcus Mariota: Will start Week 15

    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.

  • Jayden Daniels QB | WAS

    Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Ruled out for Week 15

    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.

  • Riley Leonard QB | IND

    Colts' Riley Leonard: In line to practice Wednesday

    Leonard (knee) will practice Wednesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    With Daniel Jones out for the season due to an Achilles' injury and Anthony Richardson (orbital) still on IR, Leonard is candidate to start Sunday's game against the Seahawks. However, now that he's dealing with a knee injury the QB's status will need to be monitored closely. Leonard's looming practice participation is a positive sign, but at this stage coach Shane Steichen has yet to reveal the Colts' Week 15 QB plans. Also in the mix on that front are Brett Rypien, who was signed to the team's active roster Wednesday, as well as 44-year-old Philip Rivers, who has officially joined Indianapolis' practice squad. Per Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis, when asked if Leonard would start this weekend if healthy, Steichen said "we will see" while noting that Rivers will be evaluated in practice this week.

  • Brett Rypien QB | MIN

    Colts' Brett Rypien: Signed to 53-man roster

    The Colts signed Rypien to the active roster from the practice squad Wednesday.

    Head coach Shane Steichen indicated Monday that Rypien could be in line to start Sunday's game against the Seahawks if Riley Leonard (knee) is forced to miss any time due to the Grade 1 PCL sprain in his right knee, though the team has since officially inked 44-year-old veteran Philip Rivers to the practice squad. Indianapolis' plan at the quarterback position in the wake of Daniel Jones' season-ending Achilles injury figures to be an evolving situation, as Anthony Richardson (orbital) will not come off IR in Week 15 but could also join the picture eventually.

  • Adrian Martinez: Cut by San Francisco

    Martinez was cut from the 49ers' practice squad Tuesday.

    Martinez has been on and off of the 49ers' practice squad this season, even appearing in one game with the team in Week 9 against the Giants. The quarterback will now be subject to waivers, and, if he goes unclaimed, there's a decent chance that he rejoins San Francisco's practice unit down the road this year.

  • Daniel Jones QB | IND

    Colts' Daniel Jones: Heads to IR

    The Colts placed Jones (Achilles) on injured reserve Tuesday, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site reports.

    Jones' move to IR was merely a formality after he suffered a season-ending right Achilles tendon rupture Sunday. Head coach Shane Steichen said Monday that Jones is scheduled to undergo surgery "within the week," and given the timing of the injury, the signal-caller will be hard pressed to return to full health in advance of Week 1 of the 2026 campaign. The former Giant had been in the midst of the most efficient season of his career while leading the Colts to a 8-5 record, completing 68.0 percent of his passes for 8.1 yards per attempt and a 19:8 TD:INT while adding 164 yards and five scores on the ground. The 28-year-old appeared to have put himself in position for a lucrative long-term deal with the Colts or another club in free agency this spring, but the Achilles injury could result in him having to settle for a smaller contract.

  • Riley Leonard QB | IND

    Colts' Riley Leonard: Dealing with PCL sprain

    Leonard was diagnosed with a Grade 1 PCL sprain of his right knee following Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Jaguars, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    After Daniel Jones sustained a season-ending torn right Achilles tendon late in the first quarter of Sunday's contest, Leonard stepped in for the remainder of the game. Though the rookie didn't miss a snap after taking over the offense, he emerged from the game with a knee issue that threatens his availability for a Week 15 game in Seattle. The Colts plan to have Leonard make his first NFL start this weekend if he's healthy enough to do so, as Anthony Richardson (orbital) has yet to resume practicing and will remain on injured reserve for at least one more week. Practice squad member Brett Rypien is the lone healthy quarterback in the Colts organization at the moment however, and would get the nod in Leonard can't play. Regardless of Leonard's status for Sunday, Indianapolis is expected to add depth to its quarterback room, and 44-year-old Philip Rivers worked out for the team Monday night. Because Rivers hasn't played professionally since 2020, the Colts would have him start out on the practice squad if he gets signed rather than having him immediately challenge Leonard or Rypien for a spot on the depth chart.

  • Justin Herbert QB | LAC

    Chargers' Justin Herbert: Leading rusher in win

    Herbert (left hand) completed 12 of his 26 pass attempts for 139 yards to go along with one touchdown and one interception. He was also the team's leading rusher with 10 carries for 66 yards, although he did fumble in Monday's 22-19 overtime win over the Eagles.

    Los Angeles' meager offensive line predictably struggled against Philadelphia's diabolical pass rush, and as such it seemed like Herbert was running for his life all evening. The feat was obviously more impressive considering the Pro Bowl quarterback just had surgery to repair a fracture in his left hand a week prior, but the near constant duress didn't allow for any gaudy fantasy figures. It's hard to envision that looking significantly better next week against the Chiefs, who will be trying to keep their playoff hopes alive.

  • Jalen Hurts QB | PHI

    Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Commits five TOs in ugly loss

    Hurts completed 21 of 40 pass attempts for 240 yards, no touchdowns and four interceptions while taking four carries for eight yards and a lost fumble in Monday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.

    There is simply no other way to break it down: this was Hurts' worst performance of his otherwise impressive professional career. The 26-year-old tripled his season interception total with Monday's quartet of picks, and he even had a potential fifth one reversed following a replay review. To add insult to injury, a comedy of errors unfolded in the second quarter that resulted in Hurts scooping up a ball that a defender who intercepted his initial pass had fumbled away, only to have the ball stripped away from his arms by a Chargers defender to give possession back to Los Angeles. The mobile quarterback has done a commendable job protecting the football prior to Monday's outburst of turnovers, so fantasy managers should not lose faith in Hurts ahead of a get-right matchup against Las Vegas in Week 15.
