Jackson (undisclosed) isn't practicing Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Jackson finished up Sunday's win over the Vikings, but Hensley notes that the star QB took some hard hits in the contest. In any case, the Ravens' upcoming practice report will reveal whether or not Jackson is dealing with an injury. It's also possible that he was tending to a personal matter or was given a rest day.

Interim head coach Mike Kafka confirmed Wednesday that Dart (concussion) won't start Sunday's game against the Packers.

With Dart in the NFL's concussion protocol, the Giants are playing it safe with the 2025 first-rounder, which sets the stage for Jameis Winston to draw the start versus Green Bay. Per Paul Schwartz of the New York Post, Kafka noted that Dart is "right on track and right on pace" in terms of concussion protocol, which suggests that Dart could be cleared in time to get the starting nod in Week 12. If Dart is made inactive this weekend, Russell Wilson would be in line to back up Winston.

Giants interim coach Mike Kafka said Wednesday that Winston will start Sunday's matchup against the Packers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Winston has overtaken Russell Wilson as the No. 2 quarterback in New York, and he'll officially start versus Green Bay in Week 11 with Jaxson Dart (concussion) still working his way through the NFL's protocol for brain injuries. Last season, Winston started seven games with the Browns (12 appearances) and compiled 2,121 passing yards, 13 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He's spent the 2025 campaign so far operating as the Giants' emergency No. 3 quarterback.

The Steelers activated Howard (hand) from IR to the 53-man roster on Wednesday.

Howard began the regular season on IR due to a fractured hand suffered during training camp, and after having had his 21-day practice window opened Oct. 22, the rookie sixth-round pick is now ready for game action. He could contribute as the Steelers' emergency No. 3 quarterback behind Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph versus the Bengals on Sunday.

Wilson has lost his grasp on the No. 2 quarterback role to Jameis Winston, who is likely to start Sunday's game against the Packers with Jaxson Dart in the concussion protocol, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.

Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka's first major move is the demotion of Wilson, who opened the regular season as New York's starter but was benched in favor of Dart after three games. The 31-year-old veteran played the entire fourth quarter of New York's loss to the Bears in Week 10 after Dart's injury, in which span he orchestrated only one field-goal drive while Chicago scored two unanswered TDs to take the lead. Jordan Raanan of ESPN reports that Dart is expected to miss Week 11 while working his way through the concussion protocol, setting the stage for Winston to take his first offensive snaps of the season.

Winston is expected to draw the start at QB for the Giants against the Packers on Sunday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN reports.

Per the report, Jaxson Dart -- who is in the NFL's concussion protocol in advance of Wednesday's practice -- seems unlikely to play this weekend, and if he's sidelined, Winston rather than Russell Wilson would be in line to draw the start against Green Bay. Winston thus represents an option for those in QB-friendly fantasy formats, or who are otherwise in need of signal-caller depth ahead of Week 11 action.

Stroud remains in the concussion protocol but was in the building Monday as Houston prepares for Week 11 against Tennessee, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Stroud, who sat out last week's win over the Jaguars, suffered a concussion in the Texans' loss to the Broncos in Week 9. This week, the club will hold practices Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday with a walk-through Friday, per Alexander. Stroud will need to practice at least twice without exhibiting any concussion symptoms to have a chance to be cleared for Sunday's game.

Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said following Sunday's loss to the Jets that Sanders will remain the backup quarterback for Week 11 against the Ravens, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

As evidence mounts weekly that Dillon Gabriel is in over his head during his rookie campaign, Stefanski hasn't budged on promoting Sanders. The coach was asked directly Monday about when Sanders' chance might be coming, but Stefanski refused to speculate. Sanders, who was never given a single rep with the first-team offense during the summer, is apparently not ready to replace a struggling quarterback three months into the regular season.

Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said immediately following Sunday's loss to the Jets that Gabriel will remain the starting quarterback Week 11 against Baltimore, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

That Stefanski will stick with Gabriel, despite mounting evidence that the rookie is out of his depth, could indicate his confidence level in backup Shedeur Sanders. Gabriel had a few good moments in the Week 10 loss when new play-caller, offensive coordinator Tommy Rees, added more designed rollouts. That resulted in No. 1 wideout Jerry Jeudy getting his hands on the ball more often and a season-high 54 yards rushing for the quarterback, but opposing defenses are not being challenged. Gabriel ranks 41st among NFL quarterbacks at minus-0.18 expected points added, and he's showing little evidence that improvement is coming.

The Browns plan on waiting until at least Week 12 to potentially open the 21-day practice window for Watson (Achilles), Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

On Monday, head coach Kevin Stefanski noted that Watson was progressing well in his recovery from Jan. 20 surgery and didn't dismiss the possibility of the quarterback could practice this week, but a return to the field will instead be delayed by at least one more week. Given that he hasn't practiced in more than a year, he'll likely need close to the full 21-day window to fully ramp up before the Browns would consider activating him from the PUP list. Despite having been out all season, Watson has attended all meetings and has filled a mentorship role for Cleveland's two rookie quarterbacks Dillon Gabriel and backup Shedeur Sanders. The 30-year-old remains under contract with the Browns through next season after inking a five-year, $230 million extension with Cleveland shortly after he was acquired from the Texans in March 2022.
