Gardner Minshew QB | LV
Raiders' Gardner Minshew: Will get more tests on shoulder
Head coach Antonio Pierce told reporters after Sunday's 29-19 loss to the Broncos that Minshew's left shoulder injury "doesn't look good," and the quarterback will need further testing to determine the severity of the injury, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Minshew injured his left shoulder on a sack late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game. He went to the locker room and did not return, with backup Desmond Ridder taking over under center for the rest of the contest. The Raiders' next game is Friday against the Chiefs, and Pierce relayed there is a chance Aidan O'Connell (thumb) could be activated from injured reserve and suit up for Week 13 if Minshew cannot play, per Tashan Reed of The Athletic.

DJ Moore WR | CHI
Bears' DJ Moore: Perfect effort in OT loss
Moore recorded seven receptions on seven targets for 106 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 overtime loss to the Vikings. He added one rush for 13 yards.
Moore showed the ability to connect with Caleb Williams in all areas of the field in the loss, as he had long gains of 37 and 27 yards, the latter of which set up a game-tying field goal to send the game to overtime. He also worked effectively in the short areas of the field, including on a 10-yard touchdown reception early in the fourth quarter -- his first trip to the end zone since Week 5. While it's been a disappointing season for Moore, he has 14 receptions on 14 targets for 168 yards across two games since Chicago made a change at offensive coordinator.

Demario Douglas WR | NE
Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Team-high yardage in loss
Douglas secured five of seven targets for 62 yards and rushed once for one yard in the Patriots' 34-15 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Douglas finished with a co-team-high number of receptions while setting the pace in receiving yards for the Patriots on an unproductive afternoon for the offense overall. The second-year wideout has at least four catches in four consecutive games, and his yardage total Sunday was his highest since Week 6. Douglas' next opportunity to continue building rapport with rookie signal-caller Drake Maye comes in a Week 13 home matchup against the Colts.

Gardner Minshew QB | LV
Raiders' Gardner Minshew: Hurts shoulder Sunday
Minshew suffered a left shoulder injury during Sunday's contest versus the Broncos.
Minshew was sacked three times before he exited in the fourth quarter, the last of which caused his shoulder to be driven into the turf and left him in clear discomfort. He then went to the locker room, where the team deemed him questionable to return. He wasn't able to do so, finishing Week 12 with 230 yards, one touchdown and one interception on 25-for-42 passing and two carries for five yards. Desmond Ridder took over for Minshew under center.

Rhamondre Stevenson RB | NE
Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Shut down by Dolphins in loss
Stevenson rushed eight times for 13 yards and failed to bring in either of his two targets in the Patriots' 34-15 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Stevenson's final line underscores how futile his efforts on the ground were, especially considering he gained nine of his yards on one carry. The thoroughly unproductive afternoon featured a season-low rushing yardage total for Stevenson, who'd cleared 70 rushing yards in each of his previous two games. Game script also limited Stevenson's opportunities to a notable degree, but he should have a solid chance of getting back to a normal workload in a Week 13 home matchup against the Colts.

Caleb Williams QB | CHI
Bears' Caleb Williams: First TD since Week 6
Williams completed 32 of 47 passes for 340 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 30-27 overtime loss to the Vikings. He added six rushes for 33 yards.
The Bears were playing from behind for the entire second half, which led to Williams' second-highest pass attempt total of his rookie season. While that aided his stat line, there were plenty of positives to take from his performance, including six completions of at least 20 yards. He also recorded his first passing score since Week 6, connecting with DJ Moore and Keenan Allen for 10- and one-yard touchdowns, respectively. Willams is likely to experience more inconsistency to close the season, though he has averaged a respectable 7.3 yards per attempt in two games since the Bears have changed offensive coordinators.

Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles LB | SF
49ers' Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles: Won't return Sunday
Flannigan-Fowles (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Packers, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
Flannigan-Fowles will not return to Sunday's game after injuring his knee in the third quarter. Dee Winters will fill in for Flannigan-Fowles at linebacker alongside Fred Warner and De'Vondre Campbell.

Tommy DeVito QB | NYG
Giants' Tommy DeVito: Inconsistent in lopsided loss
DeVito completed 21 of 31 passes for 189 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and added seven rushes for 32 yards in the Giants' 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
DeVito managed to stay away from any turnovers, but he took four sacks and wasn't able to lead the Giants to any points until the game was out of reach in the fourth quarter. DeVito did eventually demonstrate some solid chemistry with top two receivers Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson, with whom he connected for 11 completions and 111 yards. With his first game action since last season now under his belt, DeVito will look to put together a more complete performance in a Week 13 road matchup against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day, although after exiting the game for a play in the fourth quarter following a hard hit, it remains to be seen if he'll have to work through an injury on the short week.

Renardo Green CB | SF
49ers' Renardo Green: Leaves game with neck injury
Green (neck) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Packers, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
Green logged five tackles (four solo) before suffering a neck injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game. While he's sidelined, Nick McCloud and Rock Ya-Sin will serve as the rotational outside corners across starter Isaac Yiadom.

Rob Havenstein OT | LAR
Rams' Rob Havenstein: Won't play vs. Philadelphia
Havenstein (ankle) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Eagles, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Havenstein will miss a third straight game due to an ankle sprain he suffered in Week 9 against the Seahawks, and his next opportunity to play will be Week 13 against the Saints on Sunday, Dec. 1. Warren McClendon started at right tackle in Week 11 against New England, and he figures to do so again Sunday due to Havenstein being sidelined.
