The Seahawks re-signed McGough to the practice squad Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

McGough was a seventh-round draft pick of the Seahawks back in 2018, so the team is already familiar with his skillset. He has yet to appear in NFL action since joining the league.

Allen (chest) practiced fully Wednesday, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Allen was forced out of this past Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, but the his full practice participation Wednesday puts him on track to remain in the starting lineup this weekend against the 3-9 Cowboys, who've dropped six of their last seven games. Though the matchup is a decent one for Allen, he's only a lineup option in deeper fantasy formats at this stage after averaging only 144.5 passing yards through his first two starts while throwing for two touchdowns against two interceptions.

Tagovailoa (thumb) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

The Dolphins continue to manage Tagovailoa's reps due to an injury to his throwing thumb, but considering that the rookie quarterback started and played every snap in last weekend's win over the Bengals, there's not reason to worry about his Week 14 availability. He didn't look particularly hampered by the injury in the victory, as he managed a career-best 296 passing yards. Tagovailoa could have to air it out even more Sunday to keep pace with Patrick Mahomes and the 11-1 Chiefs.

Stafford (thumb) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

The Lions have regularly managed Stafford's practice reps since he first injured his right thumb Nov. 15, but he's played through the issue in four straight contests. The veteran quarterback has even attempted 42 passes in consecutive games, and he put up a season-best 402 yards against Chicago's secondary last weekend. Stafford will look to keep the momentum going Sunday against Green Bay's 15th-ranked pass defense.

Jones (hamstring) was limited at Wednesday's walk-through session, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Coach Joe Judge opened Week 14 prep Monday by stating Jones will have "every opportunity" to return Sunday against the Cardinals, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Judge also told Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record that he wants to see Jones "sidestep" and "step up" when pressured in the pocket, while avoiding "getting hurt worse." During the part of Wednesday's session open to the media, Jones was spotted stretching with the team, and his limited tag indicates he was able to fit in some on-field reps. He'll have two more chances to prove his health before week's end.

Bridgewater isn't listed on the Panthers' initial Week 14 injury report released Wednesday.

Bridgewater appeared to be banged up near the end of Carolina's last game, a 28-27 loss to the Vikings in Week 12. He's apparently healthy after a bye week, but two of his top three receivers (DJ Moore and Curtis Samuel) are on the reserve/COVID-19 list, and running back Christian McCaffrey (thigh/shoulder) is looking uncertain for Sunday's matchup with Denver.

Jackson completed 12 of 17 pass attempts for 107 yards, two touchdowns and an interception, adding 94 yards and a rushing TD over 13 carries during Tuesday's 34-17 win against Dallas.

After being unable to participate in last Wednesday's loss to the Steelers because of his presence on the reserve/COVID-19 list, the 2019 MVP returned to action with his first three-TD performance since facing Washington in Week 4. Jackson threw an interception off the hands of Marquise Brown to close Baltimore's opening offensive possession of the night, but he responded by capping the Ravens' subsequent seven-play drive with a 37-yard TD run through the gut of Dallas' defense. The 23-year-old would add second- and third-quarter scoring strikes through the air, pushing his 2020 TD:INT to 17:7. Jackson doesn't have a single outing over 275 yards for the Ravens' 31st-ranked pass offense, but he's again on a prolific pace with 669 rushing yards and four rushing TDs heading into a Week 14 road trip to Cleveland.

Dalton completed 31 of 48 passes for 285 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Cowboys' 34-17 loss to the Ravens on Tuesday night. He also gained two yards on his one rush.

The veteran quarterback has looked increasingly comfortable helming the Cowboys offense, with Tuesday night's effort qualifying as one of Dalton's most productive yet this season. The 33-year-old threw touchdown passes to Michael Gallup and Amari Cooper in the second and fourth quarters, giving him multiple scores in two of his last three games. Dalton's yardage tally was also a season high, with his one blemish coming in the second quarter in the form of an interception by Patrick Queen on a pass intended for Amari Cooper. Dalton's play of late does offer some optimism as the fantasy playoffs begin, and those rostering the former Bengal could benefit from an extra level of motivation in a Week 14 matchup that will mark his return to Cincinnati.

Stidham completed two of three passes for 61 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 45-0 win over the Chargers.

The 24-year-old took over during the fourth quarter with New England leading 38-0, and he found Gunner Olszewski for a 38-yard touchdown for the final score of the day. Stidham previously saw game action Week 7 with the Patriots on the other end of a blowout, and he should continue to operate as the team's No. 2 quarterback while Cam Newton remains healthy.

McSorley is active and should be Baltimore's No. 2 quarterback Tuesday against Dallas with Lamar Jackson also suiting up.

McSorley saw his first game action of the season last week against the Steelers after Robert Griffin (hamstring) went down with injury, but Jackson is back after testing positive for COVID-19 and appears ready to start Tuesday. McSorley is poised to be the Ravens' No. 2 quarterback for at least the next three games with Griffin on injured reserve.
