McCarthy completed 16 of 32 passes for 150 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Bears.

McCarthy turned 19 first-half pass attempts into just 74 yards and threw two interceptions as the Vikings took a 10-3 deficit into the locker room. He didn't complete another pass until less than three minutes remained in the fourth quarter, but McCarthy then proceeded to engineer a go-ahead drive capped by a 15-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Addison, which gave the Vikings a 17-16 lead. Chicago answered with a game-winning field goal on the game's final play, overshadowing McCarthy's late-game heroics. The struggling McCarthy has thrown for 158 yards or fewer in four of five starts heading into a Week 12 trip to Green Bay.

Knight (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Rams.

Knight took a hit to the head while covering on a kickoff in the first quarter and will not return after being diagnosed with a concussion. Chazz Surratt and Patrick O'Connell will be the backup inside linebackers for the rest of Sunday's game in Knight's absence.

Johnson recorded one carry for nine yards and caught both of his targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-32 win over Tampa Bay.

Johnson didn't have the ball in his hands many times in Week 11, but he definitely made the most of his chances. Most significantly, the running back was able to turn a swing pass from Josh Allen into a 52-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Johnson has now reeled in multiple passes in three consecutive contests. He'll look to build off of his recent production when the Bills face the Texans on Thursday Night Football in Week 12.

Cousins completed six of 14 passes for 48 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and added one rush for two yards in the Falcons' 30-27 overtime loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports Michael Penix suffered a knee injury in the third quarter on a hit he took on an incomplete pass. That led to Cousins seeing his second dose of extended action this season, and although his final line underscores the fact he was relatively ineffective, he did manage to lead Atlanta to two field goals, including the game-tying kick with 16 seconds remaining in regulation. If Penix ultimately is unable to suit up for next Sunday's road divisional clash against the Saints, Cousins would be in line to draw his second start of the season.

Hodgins hauled in five of six targets for 57 yards during Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Packers.

Hodgins made his season debut in familiar territory after spending most of the season on the Steelers' practice squad, from which the Giants signed him off of Thursday. He thus had little time to get up to speed with fill-in QB Jameis Winston, but Hodgins still paced the team in catches and receiving yards while ranking behind only WR Wan'Dale Robinson's (4-36-0 line) nine targets. Hodgins' previous experience with interim head coach Mike Kafka in New York from 2022 through 2024 clearly aided his cause as he helped cover for the absent Darius Slayton (hamstring). Slayton didn't practice during Week 11 prep, so Hodgins may have some viability in the short term if the former remains sidelined next Sunday at Detroit.

Head coach Mike Kafka told reporters after Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Packers that it was his decision to hold Carter off the field for the Giants' first defensive series of the game. "It was my decision, we'll keep the rest of that in house."

Carter relayed to reporters he "made a mistake" in the week leading up to Sunday's contest but didn't provide further details, per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. Carter had just one solo tackle during the loss, but it's unclear whether he'll see his defensive snap count decreased moving forward. The Giants hit the road for Week 12 to take on the Lions on Sunday, Nov. 23.

Moore caught one of three targets for 18 yards and rushed once for three yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Vikings.

Moore has just one catch in the last two games combined after recording at least three catches in each of the 18 preceding regular-season games. Recent first-round draft picks Rome Odunze and Colston Loveland have led Chicago's passing game in recent weeks, and Moore's opportunities have been limited in a run-first Bears offense. Moore's pedigree suggests he's likely to bounce back at some point, and a Week 12 home game against a Steelers defense that has struggled to defend the pass offers an opportunity for the 28-year-old wide receiver to do so.

Odunze caught two of six targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Vikings.

Odunze caught only one of five first-half targets but still led the Bears with 24 first-half receiving yards, accounting for a third of Caleb Williams' 72 passing yards before halftime. Williams was marginally more productive in the second half but directed only one pass at Odunze. Despite the modest volume, Odunze finished four receiving yards shy of Cole Kmet's team lead Sunday. Heading into a Week 12 home game against the Steelers, Odunze leads the Bears across the board with 39 catches for 600 receiving yards and six receiving touchdowns on 75 targets through 10 games.

Williams completed 16 of 32 passes for 193 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Vikings. He also rushed four times for 26 yards.

Williams finished without a touchdown pass for the third time in his last five starts while completing fewer than 60 percent of his passes for the sixth time in his last seven outings. He was credited with his league-leading fifth fourth-quarter comeback win of the season, but Williams didn't do much to earn this one, handing the ball off three times after Devin Duvernay's kickoff return got the Bears in range for a game-winning Cairo Santos field goal on the final play. Williams has an opportunity to pick up the pace as a passer in Week 12 against the inconsistent Steelers secondary.

Hubbard rushed four times for 21 yards and caught one of three targets for seven yards in Sunday's 30-27 overtime win over the Falcons.

The 26-year-old has now received just 10 total touches in the Panthers' last two games, cementing his No. 2 slotting behind Rico Dowdle, who tallied 100 total yards on 24 touches in Sunday's win. Since Dowdle took over as Carolina's No. 1 option in the Week 9 win over the Packers, Hubbard has managed just 52 rushing yards on 12 attempts. He's expected to continue operating in a reserve role in the Week 12 matchup against the 49ers.
