Rodgers completed 24 of 36 passes for 270 yards, with two touchdowns and an interception, in Thursday's 27-23 win over the Lions. He added four carries for 27 yards and another touchdown.

Down 20-0 after more than 35 minutes of gameplay, Rodgers and the Packers finally turned it on in the second half, starting with a fumble recovery for touchdown by Randall Cobb at the end of a long reception by James Starks. Although the Packers had no running game whatsoever behind an injury-ravaged offensive line, Rodgers brought his team back with a highly efficient second half. It appeared the Lions would still hang on, but when a face-masking penalty gave the Packers one last chance, Rodgers connected with Richard Rodgers for a 61-yard hail mary at the buzzer. The impressive late rally doesn't by any means erase the Packers' myriad issues on offense, but owners will still want Rodgers in their lineups for Week 14 against the Cowboys.

Head coach Jeff Fisher named Nick Foles the Rams' starting quarterback for Sunday's game versus the Cardinals, meaning Keenum (concussion) will be the No. 2 QB, at best, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Because Keenum logged limited practices Wednesday or Thursday, Fisher made the decision with plenty of time to spare for the showdown with the NFC West leaders. If Keenum receives clearance from the concussion protocol, he may serve as Foles' primary backup, but the inactive list is a distinct landing spot for Keenum for a second consecutive game. Another absence would place Sean Mannion in the No. 2 role.

Keenum (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

The fact that Keenum was contained to some individual drills indicates that he remains in the concussion protocol. Whenever he's cleared, he'll serve as the Rams' starting quarterback, but Nick Foles is around to direct the offense in the meantime.

Tannehill will be allowed to audible at the line of scrimmage, reports the Miami Herald.

Tannehill was forbidden to audible under former offensive coordinator Bill Lazor, and believes this ability will help to put the offense in a better situation under certain circumstances. At the very least this would seem to be a good way to get Tannehill more involved in the game plan. Tannehill owners may want to consider, however, that one of the reasons that Lazor was fired was because Miami's head coach thought the run/pass ratio was leaning too heavily towards the pass, something that should be rectified now.

Bradford (shoulder) expects to take the field Sunday at New England, Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News reports.

After a full showing in practice Wednesday, Bradford relayed his intentions, which are unlikely to be nixed unless he suffers a setback with his non-throwing shoulder. If he plays, the could have success against a Patriots defense that ranks 19th against the pass, allowing 253 yards per game.

Taylor (right shoulder) was limited at practice Wednesday.

With no reported setbacks in the wake of this past Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, we suspect that Taylor's limitations Wednesday are maintenance-related. We'll let you know if that assessment changes.

Bradford (shoulder) did not appear limited at Tuesday's practice, Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The report comes second-hand from some of the Eagles players, including offensive tackle Lane Johnson, who said he expects Bradford to start Sunday's game against the Patriots. Assuming he officially logs a full practice by the end of the week, Bradford should be ready to make his return.

Rodgers is not listed on the Packers' injury report in advance of Thursday's game against the Lions.

Rodgers, who took a hard hit to his left elbow early in the third quarter of this past Thursday's loss to the Bears, noted afterward that two of his fingers still didn't have feeling at the time. Given that the QB is not listed on the Packers' Week 13 injury report, however, his status for this Thursday's contest is clearly not in doubt.

Bradford (shoulder) will practice Tuesday, The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Bradford has missed the Eagles' past two games due to a shoulder injury, and although coach Chip Kelly is unsure if he'll be able to return for Sunday's contest versus the Patriots, Bradford will at least be back in practice Tuesday. From there, his progress is expected to be updated throughout the week, with Mark Sanchez remaining the Eagles' backup plan if Bradford can't play.

Hoyer completed 21 of 27 passes for 205 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's win over the Saints. He also lost three yards on three rushing attempts.

Another steady performance from the veteran, who has now thrown for multiple touchdowns with an average of 258 yards per game in each of the last six contests he has finished. The Texans have now won four straight, and Hoyer seems far removed from the player who was locked in a position battle with Ryan Mallett earlier this season. He will lead the team into the Week 13 matchup with the Bills, as they look to make it five straight.
