McCarthy was seen warming up before Sunday's game with a wrap on his right throwing hand, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune. However, it's the same bandage he had on his hand throughout the week of practice, Emily Leiker of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

McCarthy opened Week 11 prep Wednesday as limited due to a right hand injury, but he was not on the injury report thereafter and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Chicago. McCarthy suffered the right hand injury after hitting it on the helmet of a Ravens defender while following through on a pass attempt in Week 10. While McCarthy does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game, the use of a wrap on his hand in pre-game warmups shows it could be of some concern.

Mariota returned to Sunday's game against the Dolphins in Madrid in the fourth quarter after clearing an evaluation for a concussion.

Mariota was forced out of the game with 3:41 left in the third quarter after taking a hard fall to the turf on an incomplete pass. Backup Josh Johnson stepped in to play one snap before Washington punted the ball away, but after passing all concussion testing, Mariota was cleared to re-enter the game on the Commanders' first possession of the fourth quarter.

Mariota is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins in Madrid after he was forced out in the third quarter and was evaluated for a concussion, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Mariota was brought down hard on the turf after uncorking an incomplete pass with 3:41 remaining in the third quarter. Josh Johnson stepped in at quarterback to finish out the drive before the Commanders punted the ball away. After emerging from the Commanders' medical tent following his evaluation, Mariota was seen throwing the football on the sideline, per Keim. Mariota thus looks like he'll have a chance to return to the game in the fourth quarter, but if not, he'll finish the day having completed 16 of 22 passes for 160 yards and a touchdown to go with five yards on three carries.

The Giants have advised Dart (concussion) -- who has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers -- to exercise more caution with when and how frequently he scrambles once he returns to the field, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Dart entered concussion protocol shortly after taking a big hit in the third quarter of last Sunday's loss to the Bears, when he fumbled at the end of a seven-yard run. Though he's now been diagnosed with a concussion for the first time in 2025, Dart has been evaluated for concussions on four total occasions since the beginning of the preseason, which has prompted the Giants to be more strident in their request for the quarterback to modify his approach to running. To that end, quarterbacks coach Shea Tierney has been educating Dart with videos of other running quarterbacks, pointing out the difference between being reckless and acting in self-preservation. Ultimately, any change in approach will have to be a conscious choice on the part of Dart, whose aggressiveness as a runner thus far has undoubtedly enhanced his fantasy appeal. Through his first seven starts, Dart has turned in respectable production as a passer (202.2 yards per game, 10:3 TD:INT), but his numbers as a runner (45.3 yards per game, seven scores) have been the major driver of his value. Dart appears to be making good progress through the five-step concussion protocol and could be back in action for Week 12 in Detroit, but if he heeds the advice from the coaching staff and scales back his running, he may not represent as bankable of a fantasy option as he had been prior to suffering the concussion.

Stroud, who has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup versus Tennessee due to a concussion, may not be ready to play in the Texans' Week 12 game Thursday against Buffalo, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Stroud suffered the concussion Week 9 against Denver and missed last Sunday's win over Jacksonville. He'll sit out a second straight contest this week, and the quick turnaround for Week 12 could result in him being sidelined for a third consecutive game. For as long as Stroud remains out, Davis Mills will start behind center for Houston.

O'Connell (wrist) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Dallas, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

Despite being a full participant in practice all week, the Raiders will leave O'Connell on injured reserve for Week 11. His 21-day window to return from IR opened Oct. 29, and if he's not activated from IR before the window closes, he would be required to sit out for the entire 2025 season. Kenny Pickett will serve as Geno Smith's backup quarterback for Monday's home contest.

The 49ers waived Martinez on Saturday.

Martinez's services on the 49ers' active roster are no longer needed, as Mac Jones will revert to a backup role for Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to the return of Brock Purdy (toe). Martinez could be brought back by San Francisco on the practice squad, assuming he clears waivers.

Jones will return to a backup role due to teammate Brock Purdy (toe) being cleared to start Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Jones won five of eight starts, completing 69.6 percent of passes for 7.4 YPA, with 13 touchdowns and six interceptions. He didn't offer much on the ground -- 64 yards, no TDs -- and was thus merely adequate for fantasy, but his steady hand helped RB Christian McCaffrey put up points in bunches. Jones is signed through 2026, which means the 49ers may field trade calls this offseason from QB-needy teams.

McCarthy (hand) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Chicago, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

This was expected following McCarthy's return to full practice participation Thursday. He hit his right hand on the helmet of a Baltimore defender during the Week 10 loss, perhaps impacting his accuracy down the stretch, but it sounds like he's throwing passes and taking snaps without any problem 4-to-5 days later.

Flacco (shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh.

Flacco played through an AC joint sprain in his right throwing shoulder in the Bengals' last game in Week 9, completing 31 of 47 passes for 470 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions while losing his only fumble during a 47-42 loss to the Bears. Following a Week 10 bye, he sandwiched a limited practice Thursday between two DNPs, but the minimal activity was enough for the team to clear him ahead of Sunday's contest. Cincinnati opened No. 1 QB Joe Burrow's (toe) practice window this week, but it appears the earliest he may be available is a Thanksgiving Day matchup with the Ravens, giving Flacco at least two more chances to lead the offense, health permitting.
