Mills completed 33 of 49 passes for 331 yards and a touchdown while adding eight yards on two rushing attempts in Sunday's 33-13 loss to the Seahawks.

Mills hit his first 14 passes for 150 yards, including a five-yard touchdown to Brevin Jordan to cap the opening drive. He cooled down after Brandin Cooks was tackled just short of the goal line, missing the next two throws as the Texans had to settle for a game-tying field goal. It was all Seahawks after that, though Mills continued to pile up passing yards with the Houston running game failing to get anything going. Having been named the starting quarterback for the remainder of the season, Mills will look to build on this promising performance in Week 15 against the Jaguars.

Coach John Harbaugh confirmed after Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Browns that Jackson suffered a right ankle sprain in the contest, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

"We'll look at it more tomorrow and see where we're at," Harbaugh noted in his Sunday post-game remarks. With that in mind, consider Jackson day-to-day as next weekend's game against the Packers approaches.

Wilson completed 17 of 28 passes for 260 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 33-13 win over the Texans. He also ran twice for eight yards.

Wilson put together his best game since returning from finger surgery in Week 10, tossing a 55-yard touchdown to Tyler Lockett and a one-yard score to Gerald Everett. We haven't seen many deep shots from Wilson since his injury, so his connection with Lockett demonstrated that the 33-year-old quarterback is as close to 100 percent as he can get. Nevertheless, he'll have a tough matchup against the Rams -- which are fourth in the league with 32 sacks entering their Week 14 Monday night matchup against the Cardinals -- in Week 15.

Mayfield completed 22 of 32 passes for 190 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Ravens.

Mayfield also rushed six times for 14 yards and was briefly evaluated for a concussion prior to being cleared to return to action, Scott Petrak of The Chronicle-Telegram reports. The signal-caller's touchdown passes came on consecutive drives during the first half, finding Jarvis Landry from nine yards before hitting Austin Hooper from one yard. Although he then threw an interception on the next series after his scores, Mayfield still did enough to lead Cleveland to a narrow victory. With a touchdown pass in five straight games, he'll now strive to extend his streak in Week 15 versus the Raiders.

Heinicke suffered a knee injury during Sunday's contest against the Cowboys.

Heinicke spent much of Week 14 running for his life versus a fearsome Dallas pass rush, taking four sacks and seven quarterback hits overall. If he's unable to return, he'll have put together a dreadful passing line -- 11-for-25 for 122 yards, one touchdown and one interception -- to go with three carries for eight yards. Heinicke actually left this game in both the first and second half for spells, so he appears poised to have practice limitations in the coming days. Kyle Allen replaced Heinicke under center.

Jackson (ankle), who was carted to the locker room after taking a hit in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Browns, finished the contest with four completions for 17 yards and two carries for five yards, NFL.com reports.

Per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, Baltimore's star QB, who was replaced by Tyler Huntley, was unable to put any pressure on his right foot prior to being carted off, so it's possible that Jackson's status for next Sunday's game against the Packers could be in danger.

Jackson was carted to the locker room after suffering an ankle injury during Sunday's game against the Browns.

Per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, prior to being carted off, Jackson was unable to put any pressure on right foot. In his absence, Tyler Huntley is in at QB for the Ravens.

Rodgers' fractured left pinkie toe isn't expected to fully heal until after the season, but the quarterback still intends to play through the issue, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The toe injury first surfaced after Rodgers missed the Packers' Week 9 loss to the Chiefs following a positive COVID-19 test, but he's proceeded to start Green Bay's subsequent three games, completing 64.3 percent of his throws for 8.6 yards per attempt and a 6:1 TD:INT while leading his team to a 2-1 record during that stretch. Rodgers relayed that his toe showed some improvement during the Packers' Week 13 bye, but unless he gets some extended time off to rest up, the injury will likely continue to linger until after the season. According to Schefter, doctors are unable to completely numb the pain in Rodgers' toe because he needs to have complete feeling in his foot when he plants it on the field. Since Rodgers wouldn't be able to play if he underwent an operation that would require the insertion of a pin into his foot, he'll delay the decision on any surgery until after the regular season and any playoff contests that follow.

Hurts (ankle) is expected to be fully healthy and available to start in the Eagles' next game Week 15 versus Washington, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Hurts' sprained left ankle caused him to miss his first game of the season Week 13, clearing the way for Gardner Minshew to pick up a spot start. The third-year signal-caller was impressive in place of Hurts, completing 20 of 25 attempts for 242 yards and two touchdowns to guide the Eagles to a 33-18 win over the Jets. Despite Minshew's outstanding showing and Hurts' inconsistency as a passer through the team's first 12 games, head coach Nick Sirianni confirmed after the win over the Jets that the latter would retain the starting job coming out of the Eagles' Week 14 bye, if healthy. Hurts looks like he'll be ready to go for the matchup with Washington, but he likely won't be officially confirmed as the team's starter until he resumes practicing as a full participant in the next few days.

Fromm will back up Mike Glennon on Sunday at the Chargers after the latter cleared the concussion protocol Friday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

The potential existed for Fromm to earn his first NFL action with Glennon subject to an examination from an independent neurologist in order to play this weekend. Instead, Glennon will get a second spot start for Daniel Jones, who hasn't been cleared for contact as he deals with a strained neck. As a result, Fromm seemingly is one play away from seeing his initial regular-season snap as a pro after he logged time during the 2021 preseason with the Bills.
