Rypien (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Lions but will act as Minnesota's emergency No. 3 quarterback.

Rypien will get a chance to operate as the Vikings' emergency third-string quarterback with starter J.J. McCarthy (hand) ruled out for Thanksgiving Day. In order for Rypien to take the field, both Max Brosmer and John Wolford would have to be forced out versus Detroit due to injury, illness or ejection.

Allen (foot) was listed as limited on Thursday's practice estimate.

Allen also was deemed limited in Wednesday's walkthrough, and the Bills didn't hold practice Thursday, with the QB now having one more chance to log a full listing before the Bills' Week 17 injury designations are assigned Friday. For his part, Allen plans to play Sunday against the Eagles, per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com, but it remains to be seen if he ends up listed as questionable for the contest or fully cleared to face 10-5 Philadelphia.

Hartman is inactive for Thursday's game against the Cowboys but will act as Washington's emergency No. 3 quarterback.

Hartman will only be eligible to suit up versus Dallas on Thursday if both Josh Johnson and Jeff Driskel are forced out of the Christmas Day contest. His opportunity to handle the emergency role comes with Jayden Daniels (elbow) and Marcus Mariota (hand) both already ruled out. Hartman is still vying for a chance to make his regular-season debut.

The Jets placed Fields (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday, Susanna Weir of the team's official site reports.

Head coach Aaron Glenn announced Tuesday that Fields would be shut down for the rest of the season due to a knee injury, so the latter's placement on IR was a procedural move to open a spot on the 53-man roster for safety Christopher Smith. Fields posted a 2-7 record across nine starts this season, completing 62.7 percent of his passes for 1,259 yards, seven touchdowns, one interception and 27 sacks while turning 71 carries into 383 yards (5.4 YPC) and four scores. Fields will enter the second year of his two-year, $40 million contract in 2026, though it's unclear whether he'll be part of the Jets' future plans.

Taylor (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Tuesday that Justin Fields (knee) would be shut down for the rest of the season, so Taylor will serve as the Jets' backup quarterback against the Patriots on Sunday (assuming he's healthy) while Brady Cook starts in a third straight game. Taylor would avoid an injury designation for Week 17 if he's able to practice fully by Friday.

Love (left shoulder/concussion) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Love departed this past Saturday's loss at Chicago in the third quarter due to a concussion and since then has also been listed with a left shoulder injury, which limited him at Tuesday's walkthrough. Prior to that session, coach Matt LaFleur discussed the circumstances regarding Love and No. 2 QB Malik Willis (right shoulder), telling Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com that the Packers will "see how they progress throughout the course of the week." Considering Willis didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness, and Love still must gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to be able to suit up Saturday against the Ravens, Green Bay's situation at quarterback is in significant flux for Week 17.

The Commanders signed Hartman from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.

Hartman has been on the Commanders' practice squad since late August after failing to make the team's 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He has been signed to the active roster to serve as the Commanders' emergency third quarterback behind Josh Johnson and Jeff Driskel for Thursday's game against the Cowboys due to the absences of Jayden Daniels (elbow) and Marcus Mariota (hand). As the emergency QB3, Hartman would be prohibited from playing in Week 17 unless Johnson and Driskel were both to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection. Hartman has not played in a regular-season game since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in April of 2024.

Allen (foot) was listed as limited in Wednesday's walk-through.

Allen now has two more chances to upgrade his practice participation level before the Bills assign their Week 17 injury designations Friday. Per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN, the QB -- who is dealing with soreness in his right foot -- said Tuesday that he "will be playing, (is) planning on playing," in Sunday's game against the Eagles. However, such an outcome hinges on Allen avoiding any setbacks in the coming days.

Jackson (back) was absent at Wednesday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Jackson has yet to mix into any drills since he exited this past Sunday's loss to the Patriots in the second quarter due to what eventually has been described as a back contusion. He thus has just one more chance to practice this week before the Ravens potentially make a ruling on his status for Saturday's game at Green Bay. Tyler Huntley is lined up to start for the Ravens in Week 17 if Jackson ultimately is unable to suit up.

Willis (right shoulder) missed practice Wednesday due to an illness, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

The Packers' top two quarterbacks are dealing with health concerns in the wake of Saturday's loss at Chicago, but Jordan Love (concussion) was able to take part in drills Wednesday, while Willis was absent due to something unrelated to the right shoulder injury he suffered late in Week 16. Willis is the favorite to get the start this Saturday against the Ravens if Love can't make it through the protocol for head injuries, but the former's new ailment adds another element to the QB situation in Green Bay.
