Taylor practiced fully Wednesday, but was listed on the injury report with a groin injury.

There's no way Taylor will miss this week's crucial game in Oakland, though with a receiving corps that's incredibly depleted it would help if he has full use of his legs -- which have been a useful threat all season -- come Sunday.

Siemian missed Wednesday's practice due to a foot injury, ESPN's Jeff Legwold reports.

Siemian, who had previously dealt with a left shoulder issue, is coming off a productive effort in Sunday night's overtime loss to the Chiefs, with his status now worth monitoring as Week 13's game against the Jaguars approaches. Next up for the team's QB snaps in the event that Siemian isn't able to play this coming Sunday is 2016 first-rounder Paxton Lynch.

Bradford (ankle) wasn't on the Vikings' final injury report of the week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. As a result, he'll be under center for Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

Spotted with a slight limp in the locker room earlier this week, Bradford followed up back-to-back limited practices with a full showing Wednesday. While there's always the risk of aggravation once the pads come on, he's hoping to reconnect with Stefon Diggs (knee), who endured a similar practice regimen but is listed as questionable for Week 13.

Bradford (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Tuesday for a second consecutive day.

While Bradford was limited, there have been no signs the injury is serious. He's expected to start Thursday's game against Dallas.

Carr doesn't expect to have any lingering side effects with his right pinkie finger, which he injured during Sunday's win against the Panthers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports. "I'm doing good, I'm doing good," Carr told 95.7 The Game on Monday. "Obviously, it's a little sore, but that's expected. But it should be good. Just get the swelling down, and it will be all right."

Depending on the report, Carr suffered one (according to Gutierrez) or two dislocations (according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network) on a mistimed snap on the second play of the second half. After an X-ray revealed no fracture, though, the Raiders' training staff cleared Carr to return, allowing him to rack up 315 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception while staving off the visiting Panthers. Carr seems like a good bet to have a cap placed on his practice reps this week, but once game day rolls around, pain tolerance will likely be his primary hindrance moving forward.

Rodgers played through a left hamstring injury in the second half of Monday's win at Philadelphia, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Rodgers drew the intrigue of everyone from the broadcast crew to the viewing public when he entered a tent on the sideline in the midst of a tight game. Afterward, he offered up an explanation, telling Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com that "I just didn't want to be getting [my leg] taped up on the television." Leading his side to a much-needed fifth victory of the season, Rodgers completed 30 of 39 passes for 313 yards and two touchdowns, while tacking on 26 yards on the ground. As Week 13 prep unfolds, his practice reps will be monitored with a watchful eye, but as he said post-game, "I'll be good to go" Sunday against the Texans.

Rodgers completed 30 of 39 passes for 313 yards and two touchdowns, while rushing six times for 26 yards in Monday night's win over the Eagles.

Rodgers came out dealing Monday, leading the Packers to touchdowns on their first two offensive drives. After finding Davante Adams for a 12-yard score to start off, Rodgers dropped in a beautiful 20-yard touchdown dart to Adams on the next series. Overall, he completed a season-high 76.9 percent of his throws, with four of Green Bay's eight pass-catchers on the night finishing with five or more receptions. Per usual, Rodgers also kept the sticks moving with timely scrambles out of the pocket, despite appearing a bit gimpy during the second half. Although his streak of five straight games with at least three total touchdowns was snapped Monday, Rodgers has now passed for at least 300 yards in three consecutive contests, putting him in great form ahead of Sunday's visit from the Texans.

Carr dislocated his finger in two places but didn't suffer any breaks during Sunday's game against the Panthers, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports.

Carr's injury forced him to immediately exit Sunday's contest, but he ultimately returned shortly thereafter to engineer another comeback victory for the Raiders. Carr was highly effective in doing so, and said Monday he expects to be alright following the injury, which happened to the pinky finger on his throwing hand. Although he could still land on the injury report this week, Carr should be fine by the time this Sunday's game versus the Bills kicks off.

Per the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, "it would be a surprise" if Bradford, who is dealing with an ankle issue, didn't start Thursday night's game against the Cowboys.

That said, the report notes that the QB appeared to have "a slight hitch in his step" as he walked through the Vikings' locker room after Monday's practice, so his status is worth monitoring. Bradford was officially listed as a limited participant in the session.

Bradford was limited in Monday's practice with an ankle injury.

No injury was reported for Bradford after Thursday's game, so this is likely minor. Still, make sure he's able to practice the next two days before Thursday's game against Dallas.
