Winson is positioned to operate as the No. 2 quarterback behind Jaxson Dart, who cleared the concussion protocol Thursday, versus the Patriots on Monday Night Football.

Winston kept the Giants competitive in both of his starts while Dart was unavailable, though New York ultimately lost by one score to the Packers in Week 11 and in overtime to the Lions in Week 12. Across those two games, Winston completed 37 of 65 pass attempts for 567 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. He also rushed seven times for 23 yards and another score. While Winston will now revert to the bench, bumping Russell Wilson down to the No. 3 role, he remains a high-upside backup stash in fantasy formats that allow multiple starting quarterbacks.

Dart was listed as full on Thursday's estimated practice report, and the Giants announced that the rookie quarterback officially cleared the concussion protocol, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

When interim head coach Mike Kafka spoke to the media Wednesday, he told Evan Barnes of Newsday that Dart remained in the protocol for head injuries, but as of the Giants posting their first Week 13 injury report, he's now received clearance for his first game action since Week 10. Dart thus is poised to resume directing the offense Monday at New England, while Jameis Winston will return to a backup role.

Rodgers (wrist) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Rodgers' unrestricted practice level effectively confirms Ian Rapoport of NFL Network's report that the veteran quarterback is on track to return to the starting lineup for Sunday's contest against the Bills. Rodgers missed Week 12 due to a non-displaced fracture to his non-throwing wrist, and per Saunders still wore a cast at Thursday's practice. It's possible he'll still have the wrist stabilized during Sunday's game. Top wideout DK Metcalf (ankle) also practiced in full Thursday.

Rodgers (left wrist) returned to practice Thursday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Per Pryor, Rodgers' left wrist was stabilized, but after missing Wednesday's session, the QB's return to the field a day later is nonetheless a positive development ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills. The Steelers' upcoming injury report is slated to clarify Rodgers' official participation level Thursday.

Jones (fibula) was listed as full practice participant Thursday.

After being listed as limited in Wednesday's walkthrough, Jones worked fully a day later, though James Boyd of The Athletic noted that the QB didn't look as fluid as normal during Thursday's session. That's not surprising, given that NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Jones is dealing with a fractured fibula. While Rapoport indicates that it's an injury Jones is not concerned about, it will still be worth circling back Friday to confirm the signal-caller's final game status ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans.

Jones, who is dealing with a fracture in his fibula, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, will continue to try to play through the issue.

Per the report, Jones -- who was listed as limited in Wednesday's walkthrough -- was a full participant in Thursday's session, with one source saying the QB "looked good." Meanwhile, James Boyd of The Athletic previously noted during the practice that Jones "does not look as fluid as normal," with Rapoport's report adding notable context to that observation. In any case, the QB's status now will need to be monitored as Sunday's game against the Texans approaches.

Ridder signed with the Vikings' practice squad Thursday.

The quarterback was with the team earlier in the season when J.J. McCarthy was sidelined with an ankle injury, but he was waived in early October. With McCarthy now working through the concussion protocol and Carson Wentz out for the year with a shoulder injury, Ridder is back. Max Brosmer is taking first-team reps for the Vikings this week, though McCarthy did practice on a limited basis Wednesday.

Stroud (concussion) practiced fully Wednesday, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, at this stage of the week Stroud remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, but the QB is expected to be cleared ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts. Friday's final Week 13 injury report is slated to reveal whether Stroud heads into the weekend with a designation, but barring a setback it looks like he's poised to see his first game action since Week 9.

Daniels (elbow) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Daniels is considered unlikely to play this Sunday against Denver, with Commanders head coach Dan Quinn noting Thursday that the team "would not put [Daniels] out there" if he were in any way limited, per JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington. Quinn also told reporters that Daniels is starting to ramp up his workload and throw passes to receivers to build chemistry. Marcus Mariota figures to make at least one more start, but Daniels should be deemed ready at some point in December.

Mayfield (left shoulder) was a non-participant at Wednesday's walkthrough.

Mayfield injured his left non-throwing shoulder during this past Sunday's loss at the Rams and was ruled out from returning after halftime. After undergoing an MRI, he was revealed to have suffered a sprained AC joint, and, while it's considered a low-grade sprain, he does have a chance to suit up Week 13 against the Cardinals, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Ultimately, Mayfield's ability to play will be tied to pain management, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times, so he may not need to practice this week in order to be available Sunday. Teddy Bridgewater is on hand in the event Mayfield isn't able to play.
