Wilson (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, head coach Robert Saleh relayed Monday that Wilson was dealing with a minor knee issue, but the Jets never had much concern that the injury would affect his status for a Week 15 matchup with the Dolphins. After a two-game benching, Wilson stepped back into the starting role this past weekend against the Texans and turned in one of the best performances of his career. He completed 27 of 36 pass attempts for 301 yards and two touchdowns and carried three times for 12 yards in the Jets' 30-6 win en route to taking home AFC Player of the Week honors.

Head coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday that Baltimore's signing of Cunningham was a move for the future, and the rookie will practice with the team as a quarterback and wide receiver, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

Cunningham will be the team's fourth quarterback on the active roster after they signed him off the Patriots' practice squad Tuesday. While all of Lamar Jackson, Tyler Huntley and Josh Johnson are healthy and available, Cunningham's likeliest path to playing time in the short term is at receiver, or as a gadget player on offense. in a corresponding move, the Ravens placed wideout/return man Devin Duvernay (back) on injured reserve.

Hill (foot/hand) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Hill's took part in his first on-field activity since he sat out all of last week due to foot and left hand injuries. On Wednesday, he didn't don a red non-contact jersey and also was working with Saints quarterbacks, per Brooke Kirchhofer of NewOrleans.Football. That said, New Orleans didn't include No. 1 quarterback Derek Carr on its injury report for the first time since Week 10 prep, so Hill may be relegated to his typical gadget role if he's able to put an end to a one-game absence Sunday versus the Giants.

Carr (rib/shoulder) wasn't listed on the Saints' Week 15 injury report Wednesday, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

As predicted by head coach Dennis Allen earlier Wednesday, Carr avoided the first practice report of the week, the first time he's done so since suffering a concussion in addition to rib and right shoulder issues Week 10 at Minnesota. In the meantime, he's cleared the protocol for head injuries two times ahead of New Orleans' last three contests, and he even told Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com after this past Sunday's win versus the Panthers that he's "up to" three rib fractures at this point in the campaign. No matter, the health concerns won't affect Carr's practice reps as the team prepares for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Head coach Dennis Allen said Wednesday that Carr (rib/shoulder) likely won't be included on the Saints' Week 15 injury report, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Carr has entered and completed the concussion protocol on two occasions ahead of New Orleans' last three games, and he's also tended to rib and right shoulder concerns during that stretch. He relayed after this past Sunday's win against the Panthers that he was "up to" three rib fractures at this point in the season, according to Terrell. Having said that, Carr may avoid being listed on this week's practice report entirely, which will become known when the team posts its first version later Wednesday.

Hill (foot/hand) took part in Wednesday's practice, Brooke Kirchhofer of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Hill didn't practice last week before being inactive this past Sunday against the Panthers, so his ability to log some on-field work to start Week 15 prep generally is a good sign that he has a chance to return Sunday versus the Giants. He also was spotted without a non-contact red jersey while working with Saints quarterbacks. Wednesday's injury report will reveal whether Hill was a limited or full participant.

Stroud (concussion) wasn't spotted at practice Wednesday, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

Stroud, who remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, has two more opportunities to log practice reps ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans. If Stroud is unable to gain clearance for Week 15 action, Davis Mills would be in line to start at quarterback for the Texans.

Head coach Kevin O'Connell announced Tuesday that Mullens will serve as the Vikings' starting quarterback Saturday in Cincinnati, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

Mullens will become the Vikings' fourth different starting quarterback of the season after he came on in relief of a struggling Joshua Dobbs in this past Sunday's 3-0 win over the Raiders. After throwing four interceptions in a 12-10 loss to the Bears in Week 12 prior to the Vikings' bye, Dobbs played turnover-free football Sunday but completed just 10 of 23 passes for 63 yards before being benched in the fourth quarter. Mullens then proceeded to complete nine of 13 passes for 83 yards while directing the Vikings' only scoring drive of the day. Though he will draw his first NFL start since 2021 this Saturday, Mullens possesses ample experience, having made 25 appearances (17 starts) over his seven-year career. He also has plenty of familiarity with O'Connell's system, having been with Minnesota as a backup to Kirk Cousins (Achilles) since the start of the 2022 season.

Dobbs will move into a backup role for Saturday's game against the Bengals with the Vikings naming Nick Mullens their Week 15 starting quarterback.

Dobbs' standing atop the depth chart was already on shaky ground after a four-interception performance against the Bears, and he was unable to rebound following the Vikings' Week 13 bye. He completed just 10 of 23 pass attempts for 63 yards and carried five times for 21 yards in this past Sunday's 3-0 win over the Raiders before getting benched in the fourth quarter. Mullens directed Minnesota's only scoring drive of the game and will now be rewarded with his first start as a member of the Vikings. The team hasn't announced whether Dobbs or rookie Jaren Hall will serve as Mullens' backup.

Duggan signed with the Chargers' 53-man roster Tuesday.

Duggan will move up the team's depth chart at quarterback with Justin Herbert (finger) placed on injured reserve Tuesday. His move to the active roster should cement him as the team's No. 2 man on the depth chart behind Easton Stick, who will now take over the starting job in Herbert's absence.
