Coach Mike Tomlin noted after Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Bears that he anticipates Rodgers (left wrist) being ready to play next weekend against the Bills, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Per Brooke Pryor of ESPN, Tomlin noted in a pregame interview Sunday that Rodgers -- who has been dealing with a fractured left wrist -- "fought his tail off" to play against Chicago, while adding that it was the "prudent" decision to sit the veteran quarterback. In his Week 12 absence, Mason Rudolph started for the Steelers, with Will Howard backing him up.

McCarthy completed 12 of 19 passes for 87 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions while adding two rushes for 10 yards in the Vikings' 23-6 loss to the Packers on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.

The second-year signal-caller's nightmarish stretch of play continued, and McCarthy has now thrown for 150 yards or fewer in three of his last four games. McCarthy also failed to throw a touchdown pass for the first time in four games since returning from injury, and of greater concern, he tossed a pair of interceptions for the third consecutive contest. With Carson Wentz (shoulder) on injured reserve and the Vikings needing to see whether McCarthy can work his way through the most adversity-filled period of his nascent career, head coach Kevin O'Connell seemingly has no other option but to continue sticking with the embattled 2024 first-round pick for a Week 13 road matchup against the fearsome Seahawks defense.

Love completed 14 of 21 passes for 139 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed three times for 15 yards in the Packers' 23-6 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

Love's final line underscores how little the Packers were threatened by the Vikings' J.J. McCarthy-led offense in the divisional clash. Love, who Ryan Wood of USA Today reports conceded to having taken "a couple hits" to his shoulder without serious impact, attempted well under 25 passes for the third straight game and eighth time this season overall. The veteran signal-caller also failed to throw a touchdown pass for the third time in four contests, but he figures to have to be much more aggressive in a Thanksgiving road showdown against the Lions.

Howell (coach's decision) is inactive but serving as the Eagles' emergency third quarterback against the Cowboys on Sunday.

Howell is not permitted to play Sunday unless both Jalen Hurts and Tanner McKee leave the game due to injury, illness or suspension. Howell has yet to play in a regular-season game this year.

O'Connell is the Raiders' inactive emergency third QB for Sunday's game against the Browns.

The Raiders activated O'Connell -- who had fractured his right wrist in August -- from injured reserve Wednesday. Now that he's available, however, O'Connell is currently behind both Geno Smith and Kenny Pickett in the Raiders' signal-caller pecking order.

Watson (Achilles) accompanied the Browns to Las Vegas for Sunday's game against the Raiders, marking the first time he's joined the team on the road this season, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Watson will be on the sideline to serve as a resource to rookie Shedeur Sanders, who will be making his first NFL start Sunday. The 30-year-old's presence in Las Vegas is also a sign that he's making progress in his recovery from the right Achilles tendon he re-ruptured back in January, requiring a second surgery in less than three months. The Browns haven't offered up any specifics regarding where Watson stands in his rehab program, but he's posted multiple videos on social media in recent weeks that appear to show him dropping back on snaps and throwing without being compromised by the Achilles injury. Cleveland could open Watson's 21-day practice window at any time, though the organization may prefer to wait until OTAs in the spring to clear the veteran signal-caller for on-field work. Watson will be entering the final season of a five-year, $230 million fully guaranteed contract in 2026.

Rush (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.

This will be the fourth week in a row that Rush has served in the emergency role, which means he can't enter the game unless Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley exit due to injury, illness or ejection. Rush started two games earlier in the season with Jackson out due to injury, but he only led the offense to 13 points across both contests, leading to Huntley making the start in the last game that Jackson missed.

Milroe (coach's decision) is inactive and will serve as the Seahawks' emergency third quarterback against the Titans on Sunday.

As has been the case for the majority of the regular season, Drew Lock will serve as the Seahawks' backup quarterback behind Sam Darnold. As the emergency QB3, Milroe is not allowed to play Sunday unless both Darnold and Lock leave due to injury, illness or ejection.

DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Patriots' emergency third quarterback against the Bengals on Sunday.

DeVito is the reserve quarterback behind Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs, and is restricted from playing Sunday unless both are removed from the game due to injury, illness or ejection. DeVito has yet to appear in a single regular-season game in 2025.

Howard is active for Sunday's game against the Bears, where he'll serve as the backup quarterback behind Mason Rudolph, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Howard opened the season on injured reserve due to a fractured right hand, and after being activated off IR on Nov. 12, he served as the Steelers' emergency third quarterback in Week 11 against the Bengals. However, with Aaron Rodgers (wrist) ruled out for Sunday's clash against Chicago, Howard will be on the active roster for the first time this season and will be available to play in case Rudolph is removed from the game. During his final collegiate season at Ohio State, Howard completed 73.0 percent of his passes for 4,010 yards, 35 touchdowns and 10 interceptions across 16 games.
