Bridgewater completed 19 of 36 passes for 267 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Panthers' 28-27 loss to the Vikings on Sunday. He also rushed twice for 12 yards and appeared to leave the game after the last offensive play with an undisclosed injury, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Bridgewater's return to Minnesota had a bit of everything in it, including what came close to qualifying as a memorable comeback. The veteran quarterback was able to hit Robby Anderson on a crossing route for his one touchdown throw and also connected with Curtis Samuel on a clutch 35-yard completion during the Panthers' last-gasp drive that culminated with a missed 54-yard field-goal attempt by Joey Slye with one second remaining. Bridgewater limped off the field after taking a hit on his final pass attempt the play prior, but he otherwise looked to be at full health after missing Week 11 with an MCL sprain and was able to extend his streak of games with at least one scoring toss to five. Bridgewater will now look to help Carolina bounce back from the heartbreaking defeat in a tough matchup versus the Broncos in Week 14 following a bye.

Herbert converted 31 of his 52 pass attempts for 316 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Bills.

Herbert was able to benefit from a junk-time drive that nearly yielded a touchdown despite horrendous clock management. The end result saw the rookie post his sixth game with at least 300 passing yards and a touchdown, but the gaudy yardage total masked what was an overall lackluster effort from the Chargers offense. The rookie relied heavily on the newly healthy Austin Ekeler (hamstring) as opposed to Keenan Allen or Mike Williams, but that might have been by design thanks to the Bills' aggressive secondary. It won't get much easier next week when the Chargers host a suddenly lively Patriots defense.

Coach Joe Judge said Jones will undergo testing on his right hamstring following Sunday's 19-17 win in Cincinnati, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports. "We'll take a look and see what it is," Judge noted. "He's got to see the doctors."

After grabbing at his right hamstring at the conclusion of a seven-yard run in the third quarter, Jones was evaluated on the sideline for a spell and eventually cleared to return by the Giants' training staff. However, he lasted just two plays before leaving the game for good. An MRI on Monday may reveal the extent of the injury, and beyond that point his activity will need to be watched ahead of a Week 13 road matchup with the Seahawks. If Jones requires any time away from the field, Colt McCoy will direct the offense.

Murray completed 23 of 34 passes for 170 yards and an interception while adding five carries for 31 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Patriots.

Murray had a would-be touchdown to KeeSean Johnson just before halftime ruled short on replay, and the Cardinals ended up going without points on the drive after another tough spot went against them on the next play. Tipped passes have been a problem recently for the diminutive quarterback, and he was intercepted on such a play in the third quarter, leading to New England's go-ahead touchdown on the ensuing possession. Murray was held to fewer than 200 passing yards for the third time this season, and this is the first time he failed to find the end zone. Bouncing back from this season-worst performance won't be easy with the stingy Rams defense coming to town in Week 13.

Darnold (shoulder) completed 16 of 27 passes for 197 yards and two interceptions while adding nine yards on two rushing attempts in Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Dolphins.

Darnold came out hot in his first action since Week 8, hitting all three of his passes for 60 yards on the opening drive, but New York had to settle for a field goal after a third-down sack. He cooled down from there, as a missed chip-shot field goal and a turnover on downs deep in Miami territory were all the Jets could muster the rest of the way. Darnold has been outplayed by backup Joe Flacco this season -- the third-year quarterback has a dreadful 3:8 TD:INT in seven appearances heading into a Week 13 meeting with the Raiders.

Jones injured his right hamstring during the third quarter of Sunday's game at Cincinnati, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.

Jones appeared to tweak the hamstring at the end of a seven-yard run. Two plays later, he was unable to step into a third-down throw and left the game. Upon examination and doing some dropbacks on the sideline, he returned to the contest, only to last two more snaps before heading to the bench again. Per Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger, Jones is questionable to return, but as long as he's off the field, Colt McCoy will helm the Giants offense.

Stick (coach's decision) is inactive for the Chargers' Week 12 road trip to Buffalo.

Stick was demoted to the No. 3 quarterback role once Tyrod Taylor returned to the team Week 9 from a ribs/chest injury. The 2019 fifth-round draft choice from North Dakota State had made one game appearance in the NFL, completing his lone pass attempt for a four-yard gain Week 7 against the Jaguars.

Tagovailoa (thumb) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.

After being listed as doubtful for the Week 12 contest Friday following three consecutive limited practices due to the left thumb injury, Tagovailoa never looked like a good bet to suit up Sunday. Perhaps more troubling for the rookie signal-caller is that he's continuing to experience weakness and swelling in the thumb on his throwing hand, an issue that the Dolphins fear could keep the rookie sidelined beyond Week 12, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Ryan Fitzpatrick will start Sunday's game and any additional contests Tagovailoa might be forced to sit out.

Minshew (thumb) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Minshew was considered questionable for Sunday's contest but won't be available for the fourth straight contest due to the thumb issues. Even if he suited up, the 24-year-old wasn't yet cleared to start and would have served as the backup to Mike Glennon. Instead, Jake Luton will operate as Jacksonville's No. 2 quarterback versus Cleveland. Minshew's return to practice this week potentially puts him in good position to reclaim the starting role against the Vikings next Sunday.

Tagovailoa, who is listed as doubtful for Sunday's road game against the Jets, doesn't have a fracture in his left thumb, but he's experiencing swelling and weakness, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. As a result, Tagovailoa may miss multiple contests.

Tagovailoa injured his throwing hand during practice this week, limiting his reps and resulting in an initial questionable designation. Coach Brian Flores downplayed the situation most of the week, but the Dolphins proceeded to downgrade the rookie signal-caller Saturday. With Tagovailoa slated to sit Sunday and potentially beyond, Miami will roll out graybeard Ryan Fitzpatrick at quarterback.
