  • Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Full practice Thursday

    Mayfield (illness) practiced fully Thursday.

    Mayfield opened Week 12 prep as limited at Wednesday's walkthrough due to an illness, but his return to all activity one day later puts him in the clear for Sunday's game at the Rams. Meanwhile, RB Bucky Irving (shoulder/foot) and WR Emeka Egbuka (illness) remained limited participants Thursday, meaning who will be available in the Buccaneers' skill positions is in flux ahead of the weekend.

  • Dak Prescott QB | DAL

    Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Logs full practice Thursday

    Prescott (hip) was a full practice participant Thursday, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.

    Coach Brian Schottenheimer said prior to Prescott's limited walkthrough Wednesday that the quarterback was dealing with a minor hip injury, per Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site. With an uncapped session now under his belt, Prescott is ready to face an Eagles team Sunday that is one of two teams to keep him out of the end zone this season. Back in a Week 1 loss in Philadelphia, he completed 21 of 34 passes for 188 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed once for three yards.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Completes full practice

    Jackson (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    For the second straight week, Jackson sat out a Wednesday practice to receive maintenance for an injury. In Week 11, Jackson managed a sore knee, but he's been tending to an ankle issue in Week 12. Much like last week, Jackson was able to upgrade to full activity in practice after sitting out Wednesday, so assuming he maintains full participation in Friday's session, he'll be in the clear to make his fourth consecutive start this Sunday against the Jets. Since returning from a three-game absence Week 9, Jackson has led Baltimore to three consecutive wins while completing 63.6 percent of his passes for 573 yards, five touchdowns and two interceptions, but he hasn't been his usual productive self as on the ground with an 18-60-0 rushing line over that stretch.

  • Joe Flacco QB | CIN

    Bengals' Joe Flacco: Another limited practice

    Flacco (right shoulder) was limited at practice Thursday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Flacco also was limited Wednesday, but at this stage there's no reason to think he'll be unavailable Sunday against the Patriots. However, with Joe Burrow (toe) having logged his second straight full practice, while taking snaps with the first-team offense in the process, per Adam Schefter of ESPN, it's uncertain if Flacco will continue as the Bengals' starting QB this weekend, with that assignment (or lack thereof) hinging on whether Burrow is deemed fit for his first game action since Week 2.

  • Joe Burrow QB | CIN

    Bengals' Joe Burrow: Reps with first team Thursday

    Burrow (toe) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    While Burrow's ability to practice without any restrictions for the second day in a row was noteworthy enough in itself, perhaps the more important takeaway from Thursday's session was that he took all of his reps with first-team offense in the portion that was open to the media, per Ben Baby of ESPN.com. Meanwhile, Joe Flacco (shoulder) -- who had started each of the past five games -- was listed as a limited participant and worked behind Burrow during individual drills, ostensibly as the Bengals' No. 2 quarterback. Prior to practice, head coach Zac Taylor was non-committal about the franchise signal-caller being activated from injured reserve for Week 12, but Burrow certainly would appear to have a strong chance at returning to the lineup this Sunday against New England. The Bengals will wait and see how Burrow's surgically repaired left big toe responds to a third straight day of practice Friday before providing an update on his status heading into the weekend.

  • Daniel Jones QB | IND

    Colts' Daniel Jones: Added to injury report Thursday

    Jones was limited at practice Thursday due to a calf injury.

    Jones wasn't on the Colts' initial Week 12 injury report, so his addition to it Thursday is of note. That said, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com indicated that at this stage he's not sensing any reason for alarm regarding Jones. Nonetheless, what the QB is able to do at practice Friday and, in turn, what (if any) injury designation he carries ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs is now worth monitoring.

  • Jaxson Dart QB | NYG

    Giants' Jaxson Dart: Still limited Thursday

    Dart (concussion) remained a limited non-contact participant at Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Interim head coach Mike Kafka told Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News earlier Thursday that there was a chance Dart would gain clearance from the concussion protocol after the Giants' second Week 12 practice, but that didn't come to pass. Instead, Dart maintained his activity level from Wednesday, giving him just one more chance this week to get back to full. In the end, he'll need to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play Sunday at Detroit, but if Dart is unable to, Jameis Winston is the next QB up on the depth chart.

  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Steelers' Aaron Rodgers: Returns to limited practice

    Rodgers (left wrist) was limited in his return to practice Thursday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    After logging a DNP on Wednesday, Rodgers returned to a limited session a day later, while sporting "some sort of stabilizer" on his left non-throwing wrist, per Pryor. As for his chances of playing Sunday against the Bears, Rodgers told Pryor on Wednesday that he'd need to be able to "protect" himself in order to do so. In any case, unless Rodgers practices fully Friday, he'll presumably head into the weekend with an injury designation. If he's unavailable versus Chicago, Mason Rudolph would be in line to start in his place.

  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Steelers' Aaron Rodgers: At practice Thursday

    Rodgers (wrist) was present for practice Thursday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Per Pryor, Rodgers' left wrist was in "some sort of stabilizer" as he was spotted doing individual reps Thursday. On the heels of a DNP on Wednesday, the veteran QB's presence at practice a day later is encouraging, though it seems likely he'll be officially listed by the Steelers as a limited participant.

  • Dillon Gabriel QB | CLE

    Browns' Dillon Gabriel: Absent from practice Thursday

    Gabriel (concussion) is not practicing Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Browns coach Kevin Stefanski has already unannounced that Gabriel will not start Sunday versus the Raiders even if available, but by all accounts the rookie third-round pick seems on track to sit out Week 12 while in the concussion protocol. Meanwhile, Shedeur Sanders will start versus Las Vegas. Gabriel will have one more chance to log practice reps Friday, but in the likely even that he's ruled out, Bailey Zappe will figure to be elevated from the practice squad to handle No. 2 reps behind Sanders.
