Murray (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Murray upgraded to full participation at Friday's practice after logging limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. It's still possible the AC joint injury has some impact on his performance, but the Cardinals don't seem too worried about it, nor did Murray when he was asked about his shoulder after last week's loss to Seattle. He's locked in as one of the top fantasy options at QB, with his running ability creating A+ upside even when Murray is imperfect as a passer.

Jackson (illness) has been officially placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Jackson's positive COVID-19 test came up during Thursday's round of testing. With that timing in mind, the QB won't play in Tuesday's rescheduled game against the Steelers, but it's plausible that Jackson could be cleared in time for Week 13 action, with Baltimore now slated to face Dallas on Monday, Dec. 7. Robert Griffin is in line to draw the start at QB in place of Jackson this coming Tuesday.

Matt Nagy confirmed Trubisky will start Sunday's game against Green Bay, but the coach wouldn't commit to a starting QB beyond Week 12, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Nick Foles (hip) is listed as doubtful, and it sounds like he'll be the backup even if he's active. A Week 11 bye gave Trubisky's right shoulder some time to heal, and he's now set for his first start since September after logging full practices Wednesday through Friday. It's anyone's guess what happens beyond Sunday, as neither QB has played well for the Bears.

Although Jackson and other Ravens have tested positive for COVID-19, Baltimore is now scheduled to play the Steelers on Tuesday night, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

This will be the second time that the contest has been postponed following the placement of multiple Baltimore players on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Per ESPN.com, Jackson is also among those in the Ravens organization who have tested positive for COVID in the past week. He's now reportedly quarantining for 10 days and it's expected that he'll be officially added to the reserve/COVID-19 list later Friday. In his looming absence, Robert Griffin is slated to start at QB for the Ravens on Tuesday, assuming the game takes place.

Trubisky is expected to start Sunday's game against the Packers, as fellow QB Nick Foles (hip) is doubtful for the contest, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Foles was absent from practice throughout the week, while Trubisky (shoulder) was a full participant each day. Barring a last-second miracle in Foles' recovery, Trubisky will make his first start since Week 3.

Tagovailoa (left thumb) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

Coach Brian Flores relayed Thursday that he isn't "too worried about" Tagovailoa ahead of Sunday's AFC East clash. According to Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com, Flores will rewatch Tagovailoa's practice film to determine if the rookie is indeed able to play through the injury to his throwing hand. It appears Tagovailoa is trending in the right direction. Ryan Fitzpatrick is on standby in case Flores changes course.

Bridgewater (knee) will play in Sunday's game at Minnesota, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

A full practice participant throughout the week, Bridgewater will reclaim the starting job after P.J. Walker filled in for last Sunday's win over the Lions. Bridgewater gets a decent matchup against the Vikings, who have allowed the 12th-most fantasy points to QBs this season.

Minshew (thumb) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Coach Doug Marrone said earlier this week the 24-year-old won't be ready to handle starting duties this weekend, but he could be available to serve in the backup role to Mike Glennon. Minshew returned to practice as a limited participant this week and was ramping up his throwing, so if all goes well he could return to start at Minnesota next week. Jake Luton is primed to serve as Jacksonville's No. 2 quarterback Sunday should Minshew be unavailable.

Cardinals GM Steve Keim expects Murray (shoulder) to play in Sunday's game against the Patriots, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Murray downplayed the impact of an AC joint injury in his throwing shoulder after last Thursday's loss to the Seahawks, but he's been limited in practice so far this week. It sounds like he's on track to play, even if his arm strength won't quite be at the usual level.

Darnold (shoulder) is expected to start Sunday against the Dolphins, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

The 23-year-old is set to practice without limitations for the second straight day, putting him on track to return from a two-game absence this weekend. Assuming all goes well during Friday's practice, Darnold should avoid an injury designation for Sunday.
