Keenum completed just 12-of-26 passes for 136 yards and a touchdown in his first start of the season Sunday in Baltimore. He also lost two fumbles, and possibly suffered a concussion.

Keenum failed to spark the struggling Rams passing game, proving that he isn't much of an upgrade over the recently-benched Nick Foles. While Foles was averaging only 186.4 passing yards per game on a 56.6 percent completion percentage, Keenum actually failed to reach either of those bench marks. Keenum's availability for next week's tilt against the Bengals is in question, as the quarterback was being evaluated for a concussion after the game.

Winston completed 19-of-29 passes for 246 yards and five touchdowns with no interceptions in Sunday's 45-17 victory over the Eagles. He did not net any yards on four rushes.

Winston's official NFL coming out party was a sight to behold, with the 2015 first overall pick becoming the first rookie quarterback since Matthew Stafford in 2009 to throw five touchdowns in a game, and only the third rookie in NFL history to do so. Winston is also only the second quarterback in team history to accomplish the feat. The 21-year-old threw four of his touchdowns in the first half to four different receivers and looked masterful throughout the game. Encouragingly, he managed to make several of the difficult short-range and intermediate passes that he has had trouble with so far in his young career. Winston will attempt to keep the considerable momentum generated Sunday in his Week 12 matchup versus the Colts in Indianapolis.

Rodgers (shoulder) is active for Sunday's contest in Minnesota, Jason Wilde of ESPN Wisconsin reports.

The Packers' offense has been in disarray for three consecutive games, and to make matters worse, Rodgers landed on the injury report this week with a right shoulder issue. Neither Rodgers nor head coach Mike McCarthy expressed worry about his Week 11 availability, which cleared up following full practices Thursday and Friday. However, the matchup with the Vikings presents all manner of obstacles, namely an eighth-ranked pass defense that can ably match up with Randall Cobb, Davante Adams, and company.

Bridgewater (shoulder) is listed as active Sunday versus the Packers.

Bridgewater hasn't reached 200 yards passing in three consecutive contests, averaging 157 yards with a 60.3 completion percentage and two touchdowns versus two interceptions during that span. Clearly, the Vikings' offense centers around Adrian Peterson (hamstring), but Bridgewater could prosper against a Green Bay defense that has allowed seven touchdown passes to quarterbacks over the last four outings.

Bridgewater (left shoulder) was a full participant in Friday's practice and is listed as probable against Green Bay.

Bridgewater was able to fully practice all week, so this injury looks minor and likely won't be a factor Sunday.

Rodgers (shoulder) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Rodgers was limited at Wednesday's practice but then logged full sessions Thursday and Friday. His shoulder appears to be a non-issue, but the same can't be said of Green Bay's recent offensive performance. The matchup is also difficult, with the Vikings sporting a strong pass rush and allowing just 6.9 yards per pass attempt. Of course, this is still Aaron Rodgers we're dealing with, so a big game wouldn't surprise anyone.

Following Friday's practice, coach Bill O'Brien ruled Hoyer (concussion) out for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Though Hoyer didn't practice this week, O'Brien did note Friday that he's optimistic the QB will return to practice and be able to play next week against the Saints. Starting in Hoyer's place this Sunday will be T.J. Yates, who is set to make his first NFL regular season start since Week 17 of the 2011 campaign.

Bradford (concussion, left shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bucs.

As a result, Mark Sanchez will start at QB for the Eagles on Sunday, while Bradford's Week 12 status remains cloudy as well, with the team on a quick turnaround and set to play the Lions on Thanksgiving Day.

Rodgers (shoulder) was a full practice participant Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

In the portion of practice open to the media, Rodgers made fewer throws than normal, but the ones he did take included their usual zip. He was also able to make throws moving at full speed, indicating that his right shoulder injury shouldn't be a concern Sunday at Minnesota. Backing up those sentiments was his "no worries" comment Wednesday, which was followed by head coach Mike McCarthy noting "no concern" about Rodgers' ability to suit up in Week 11, according to Vic Ketchman of the Packers' official site.

Hoyer (concussion) is not expected to play Sunday against the Jets, ESPN.com reports.

That said, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle relays that as of Thursday, coach Bill O'Brien hasn't ruled out Hoyer officially, calling the QB day-to-day. If Hoyer is sidelined this weekend, as expected, however, T.J. Yates would draw the start at QB for the Texans in Week 11.
