On Tuesday, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance told reporters he'd be cleared soon after undergoing two surgeries on his broken ankle. Lance is expected to be a full-go by OTAs. This is good news for the Niners, who are expected to be rid of Jimmy Garoppolo soon and have Brock Purdy out for at least six months.

Trey Lance says he’s 3-4 weeks from being fully cleared for practice. He said he’ll be 100 percent for OTAs

Speaking of 49ers QBs, rookie Brock Purdy is currently awaiting second opinions on his injured UCL - a repair vs. reconstruction surgery will determine the time he will be able to return to football activities. Purdy told reporters on Tuesday that he will make a final decision soon.

more QB news:

  • The Pittsburgh Steelers opened the season with QB Mitch Trubisky before turning to rookie Kenny Pickett in Week Four. It took Pickett a bit to warm up, but he emerged from the 2022 season almost in the postseason and is getting better every week. Tight end Pat Freiermuth agrees. "He was just so much more confident and so much more urgent and knew what he was gonna do. So it took him a little bit to get going, but showed that he's the real deal."
  • Trevor Lawrence will replace Patrick Mahomes on the Pro Bowl roster, as Mahomes has something more important to take care of.
    • Jared Goff will replace Jalen Hurts in the Pro Bowl, as he's also playing in the Super Bowl.
  • If you weren't sure if the Pro Bowl was a joke yet, you will now. Baltimore Ravens backup QB Tyler Huntley is heading to the Pro Bowl in place of Josh Allen. At the time voting closed, Huntley had thrown zero (as in, none) touchdowns on the season.
  • It's not a secret that the Buffalo Bills made Josh Allen put it all out on the field. General Manager Brandon Beane says Allen took too many hits in 2022. "The only thing I'd get on to him is he's got too many bruises on him. And we've got to work on taking less hits. That's the only reason I'm ever going to criticize Josh is just take less hits." Maybe that's something Beane can work on this offseason; just saying.
  • Frank Reich has been through the wringer regarding quarterbacks - it started with Andrew Luck and went downhill. Reich is now with the Carolina Panthers and basically has a blank slate. Reich explained how his time with all different kinds of quarterbacks could help him decide which direction to go with Carolina. "I've had to work with the young, the old, the pocket passer, the guy who moves. And I think even though it wasn't always an ideal scenario, like in Indy having a different quarterback every year, I did learn a lot through it because you're forced to adapt and evolve your offense around different styles of quarterbacks."
  • Derek Carr will also attend the Pro Bowl, which should be renamed to Mid Bowl, at this point.
  • The Denver Broncos hired their next head coach Sean Payton, and one of his biggest tasks is to fix Russell Wilson. In 2022, Wilson had one of the worst seasons of his career, and his new coach is already somehow convinced he can be the one to resurrect the old Russell Wilson. "Russell is a hard worker and has played at a high level and won a lot of games in this league. The pressure is on us to put a good run game together and reduce the degree of difficulty on his position. I'm excited about him." Let's ride, indeed.

Aaron Rodgers has no decision on his future

Aaron Rodgers had a roller coaster of a season, dealing with injuries and losing his top receiver Davante Adams. Rodgers is deciding his next steps - retirement, moving on to a new team, or staying put with the Green Bay Packers. Rodgers is not making a rash decision soon, saying on Tuesday that he'll take some time before deciding.

more Qb news:

  • We all know the story by now. Lamar Jackson missed the last six games of the season, leaving people speculating about his future with the Baltimore Ravens. Calais Campbell, who is mulling retirement, spoke about his support for Jackson. "You know Lamar Jackson is an incredible player. I think it's in the best interest of the Ravens organization to give him a long-term contract, make him our guy." It'll for sure be an interesting offseason for Baltimore, with clear pros and cons to this decision.
  • Good Dak Prescott showed up Monday night after a lackluster performance in Week 18. Prescott said he quickly moved on from his loss to the Washington Commanders because he knew how much this week meant. And what that meant was getting back to how Prescott plays football best. "I tried to force some throws, take the big ones, and that's not who I've been in my career. I take what they give me, waiting on the big shot, and Washington was uncharacteristic. So it was a way for me to just dial back in, but I wiped that clean because I knew what this game meant."
  • Jalen Hurts was no longer listed on the Philadelphia Eagles' injury report heading into Divisional Weekend.
  • Trevor Lawrence was listed as limited on Tuesday's injury report.

Lamar speaks about his injury

Lamar Jackson finally broke his silence to address his knee issue that's been plaguing him all season.

Unwritten in this tweet is that Jackson doesn't sound like he'll be back anytime should, should the Baltimore Ravens advance to the next round.

Jackson was not present at Ravens practice on Thursday. Tyler Huntley appears to be in line to be the starter for Baltimore this weekend; he threw during Thursday's session, something he didn't do last week.

Thank you everyone for your support and concerns regarding my injuries. I want to give you all an update as I am in the recovery process. I’ve suffered a PCL grade 2 sprain on the borderline of a strain 3. There is still inflammation surrounding my knee and my knee

— Lamar Jackson (@Lj_era8) January 12, 2023

more Qb news:

  • When I think of Joe Burrow, I think of one word: confidence. Confidence can sometimes be mistaken for arrogance, the vibe Burrow sometimes gives off (primarily to opposing fans). However, Burrow says you need to be a little arrogant sometimes. "You can't go out there scared in the moment. You have to be a little arrogant to go out there in that moment and make plays you need to make. In those moments is where I kind of make my best plays."
  • San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy has had a storybook start to his rookie year - coming in for Jimmy Garoppolo when he broke his foot and being able to keep it rolling despite never playing in the NFL before. Purdy says he's not thinking about that and is focused on their next opponent, knowing they'll go home if they don't win. "Yes, it's the playoffs, but for myself, I've got to do my job. I'm not trying to think about this storybook ending or anything like that."
    • Brock Purdy was named the NFL offensive rookie of the month for the month of December.
  • As we all assumed, the Las Vegas Raiders will begin looking at trade options for quarterback Derek Carr. The team is under a time crunch, as Carr is owed a lump sum of $40.4 million if he's still on the team on February 15th. Another thing to keep in mind - Carr has a no-trade clause in his contract, meaning he'll have to approve the team and location before being traded. Jim Irsay is salivating at the mouth.

Sources: The #Raiders will begin the process of evaluating the trade market for QB Derek Carr, as they prepare for a decision on their QB for the future. This points to the possibility of Carr, who holds a no-trade clause and will be part of the process, leaving the organization. pic.twitter.com/zvZvGv8cQ5

No tua Tagovailoa for Dolphins this weekend

With Tua Tagovailoa remaining in the NFL's concussion protocol, the Miami Dolphins are preparing to start rookie QB Skylar Thompson in the Wild Card round against the Buffalo Bills. Head coach Mike McDaniel remains mum on Tagovailoa's status after suffering a series of concussions this season, most recently on Christmas Day. Prayers up to Thompson, who faces a tough Buffalo defense this weekend. ??

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said they're planning for Skylar Thompson to start at QB on Sunday in Buffalo.

more Qb news:

  • Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was not at practice on Wednesday, putting his status for the Wild Card round in doubt. Backup Tyler Huntley was not throwing at practice, which drove the team to start Anthony Brown against the Cincinnati Bengals last week. So it's a real possibility we could see the same this week. And that's not exactly a good thing.
    • Huntley was listed as a limited participant.

Still no Lamar Jackson (knee) at practice, and Tyler Huntley (right shoulder) was mostly going through the motions in warmups. Didn’t see him attempt a pass.

  • Josh Allen remains on the injury report with ankle and elbow injuries, but participated in full.
  • The Dallas Cowboys are coming off a shaky performance in Week 18 and hoping to turn things around in time for Wild Card Weekend. Owner and general manager Jerry Jones says he's not concerned about Dak Prescott. "It's in Dak's DNA not to turn the ball over. I have all the confidence in the world that he, as a player, has all the right balance of confidence or all the right balance of aggressiveness as it pertains to a turnover." Umm. Ok?
  • Trevor Lawrence was limited on Wednesday, with his lingering toe injury. Lawrence has not missed any games.
  • The Atlanta Falcons started two different quarterbacks in 2022, veteran Marcus Mariota and rookie Desmond Ridder. The team will have a decision to make at the position this upcoming off-season. While it seems likely, they cut Mariota; they will have to decide if they want to roll with Ridder, draft another QB if they don't like what they saw from Ridder, or bring in a veteran QB. Head coach Arthur Smith said they had yet to make any decisions as of right now. "There will be conversations. Nothing to update now."

Tom Brady-Mike Evans connection heating up

  • Mike Evans and Tom Brady haven't had the best connection this season, but things are coming together at just the right time for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Evans had this to say about his QB: "Tom was just dropping dimes. Those were some really, really good balls. This was one of the best games I've seen Tom play since he's been here." The Bucs clinched the NFC South title this week and have a chance to continue the connection in the postseason.
    • With Week 18 being pretty meaningless for the Bucs, Brady says it would "bother" him if he did not play.

“We’re football players, it’s football season so we play football,” Tom Brady says. Would seem he plans to play at Atlanta Sunday. Todd Bowles will have he final say. Rest vs Rust? Bigger question is can you torpedo chance to win in playoffs with an injury for a meaningless game pic.twitter.com/nBwh33dLx8

more qb news:

  • Once upon a time, the Green Bay Packers were 4-8, and injuries to quarterback Aaron Rodgers had people wondering whether he would be shut down for the season. But then, they won four in a row and currently control their playoff destiny. Rodgers spoke about the mindset of the team throughout the season. "Sometimes you've got to fool yourself a little bit into believing a little bit more. But I definitely had faith I was going down scrapping, for sure. I do believe in the power of manifestation, and I do believe in momentum, and I believe very strongly in the force of the mind." Sounds like a quote straight out of a Disney movie.
  • San Francisco 49ers rookie quarterback Brock Purdy has been lighting it up lately, but Sunday's game was the first time he's had to play from behind. Nevertheless, he got the job done, and head coach Kyle Shanahan acknowledged being able to do that was good for the team moving forward. "To keep coming back and keep attacking, he never got gun-shy, made some real good decisions too, and fought it out throughout the whole game and found a way to win."
  • The Philadelphia Eagles believe Jalen Hurts will be ready to play in Week 18. Hurts was ruled out the past two weeks with a shoulder injury but returned to practice during the week.

From @GMFB: The belief is that #Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (SC joint sprain) will be ready to play in Week 18, while the #Dolphins QB situation is in flux, with Teddy Bridgewater dealing with a dislocated pinky on his throwing hand. He’ll get imaging today. pic.twitter.com/eo1ru3dFJb

  • The Chicago Bears aren't playing for anything any longer, and they let Justin Fields stay in the game to get destroyed on Sunday, sparking the question of, well... why?!? Head coach Matt Eberflus said keeping Fields in the game was to get him experience. "I just go back to what I just kind of tried to state is in-game experience; there's nothing like it. We're not going to get that anywhere else." I understand, but I hope Eberflus crossed his fingers TIGHT that Fields wouldn't get seriously injured.
    • Despite this, Eberflus did not commit to Fields starting in Week 18. Something to keep an eye on.
  • The New York Jets were happy to get Mike White back this week after dealing with a rib injury. But, unfortunately, it turns out they stink regardless of who is at the quarterback position. White talked about the disappointment of not meeting his teammates' expectations: "The guys in the locker room deserve a certain standard. I knew what I was signing up for. I practiced all week. There's a standard they deserve, and I didn't play to that standard today."
    • Robert Saleh said on Monday that White is dealing with some rib soreness, but should be ready to play in Week 18.
  • Mike Vrabel announced QB Josh Dobbs will start at quarterback for the Tennessee Titans in Week 18 in a must-win game for the AFC South title. Vrabel explained Dobbs' strengths are what led to the decision.

  • Deshaun Watson has struggled since his return to the Cleveland Browns' lineup. While things are still shaky, and the team has been mathematically eliminated from the postseason, Watson saw his connection with his receivers on Sunday as something to build upon. "I know Amari [Cooper], he's still trying to get healthy,  but today was a good day to be able to, especially for the start of 2023 and what the future is going to hold for the Cleveland Browns, it was good to see that happen."
  • Miami Dolphins quarterback Teddy Bridgewater exited Sunday's game with a finger injury and is on his way to get x-rays on his throwing hand. If Bridgewater and starter Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) cannot play this week, it will be Skylar Thompson this week.
    • Mike McDaniel confirmed Tagovailoa will not be in the team's plans for Week 18.
  • Alabama quarterback Bryce Young has declared for the 2023 NFL Draft. The former Heisman Trophy winner is projected to be one of the top picks in this year's draft.
  • Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams put together about three plays on Sunday that could round out a highlight reel, including a one-hander. Quarterback Justin Herbert on Williams' catch: "I don't know anyone else does anything with that. He's about as special as it gets."
  • Jeff Saturday announced Sam Ehlinger will start in Week 18 for the Indianapolis Colts after Nick Foles injured his ribs. Matt Ryan will be the backup.
  • Ron Rivera says he has no decision on the starting quarterback for the Washington Commanders as of right now. The team started Carson Wentz last week, and it did not go well.

Matt Ryan benched, again

12/22/2022

Merry Christmas to me!

The Indianapolis Colts are benching quarterback Matt Ryan - yes, again - for Nick Foles. Foles will be their third quarterback to start this season. Definitely not what they had planned.

The Colts are changing quarterbacks again. Nick Foles will take over for Matt Ryan as the starter Monday Night against the Chargers, and the plan is for Foles to start the final three games of the season. Announcement expected Wednesday afternoon.

— Dan Graziano (@DanGrazianoESPN) December 21, 2022

The first time Ryan was benched, rookie Sam Ehlinger took over, and head coach Frank Reich was later fired. Then, the Colts hired Jeff Saturday for some reason, went back to Ryan, and blew the biggest lead in NFL history.

Foles, their last hope, is a former Super Bowl MVP and has only played two snaps this season - the final snaps of a 24-0 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Foles said on Wednesday that he had no frustration towards the Colts for not turning to him earlier in the season.

The Colts take on Justin Herbert, an actual good QB, and the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football.

  • Lamar Jackson did not practice again on Wednesday, putting his status for this week in jeopardy.

  • The Philadelphia Eagles have not yet ruled out Jalen Hurts, but Gardner Minshew will make the start for at least this week. The team isn't that worried, though, according to tight end Dallas Goedert. "He's just got a lot of respect because he comes in here to work every day, prepares like the starter even though he knows he's the backup. He knows his role, and he just waits for an opportunity like this, and we all have faith that he's going to make the most of it."
    • Hurts was not seen at practice on Wednesday.
  • The Houston Texans will continue to rotate quarterbacks this week, per Pep Hamilton. I guess it's the only thing that makes them look like a competent football team.

Pep Hamilton on using Jeff Driskel in two-quarterback system, said it was initially an 'experiment,' now it's a part of the offense to 'create conflict,' disrupt the defense. 'We hope it will limit the potential looks we will see.'

We may have seen the last of Jalen Hurts in the regular season. During this week's Philadelphia Eagles win, Hurts was tackled into the turf, where he suffered a sprained shoulder.

Jalen Hurts could miss next two games with sprained shoulder, NFL sources told The Inquirer.

— Jeff McLane (@Jeff_McLane) December 19, 2022

Hurts did have an MRI on Monday, which was negative and showed that the injury wasn't serious, but it may be severe enough to pull him out for the next two weeks. The Eagles want him at his healthiest heading into the playoffs.

Backup QB Gardner Minshew will take Hurts' spot until he's ready to go, and it looks like that will happen at least this weekend against the Dallas Cowboys.

more Qb news:

  • Justin Herbert had a shaky performance on Sunday, but he pulled it together when it mattered, leading the Los Angeles Chargers on a game-winning drive to set up a field goal for Cameron Dicker.

Its not easy to play in Seattle and all eyes were on San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy. Purdy finished the first quarter 9-for-9 as the Niners lead the Seahawks 7-0.

The cherry on top was this 28-yard touchdown to tight end George Kittle.

----

The 49ers went on to beat Seattle, 21-13, clinching the division title.

Purdy was efficient in his first road start, completing 17-of 26 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns.

  • Desmond Ridder is the new starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons, and he's giving all the credit to the team for preparing him, even though he's a rookie. "I'm prepared for this.

  • Brock Purdy remained limited in practice on Sunday as he tries to play through his injury. Purdy stated earlier in the week that he expects to play.
    • For an official "ok" to play, head coach Kyle Shanahan says it will be "probably" Thursday.

Kyle Shanahan said #49ers QB Brock Purdy (oblique/rib) will be limited in practice today.

The 49ers aren't going to do much on the practice field, but the guys listed as "limited" will be more limited than the others, Shanahan said.

Kyler Murray suffers knee injury in Monday Night Football

Picture
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray suffered a non-contact knee injury on the third play during Monday Night Football.

Murray was in the middle of a scramble when his knee appeared to buckle. (I'm not going to post the video, but you can look for it if you want to see it.) Murray was carted off the field, surrounded by teammates, and quickly ruled questionable to return. Murray was later ruled out by the team in the second quarter with a knee injury.

Backup QB Colt McCoy replaced him.

Reports began to emerge throughout the game that Murray had torn his ACL. Murray will have an MRI on Tuesday to confirm.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray is expected to have an MRI tomorrow but there is "little doubt that it’s torn," a source told me, referring to the quarterback's ACL.

  • San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw will be one of the lucky few to be able to tell his grandchildren that he intercepted the Tom Brady one day. Thankfully, he has proof. Greenlaw made sure to get Brady's signature on the ball for safekeeping.
    • Is there a chance Brady could be on the Niners' field in 2023, but on the roster? "I don't go there," he said. "I'm just trying to get this right, and see what we can possibly accomplish."

  • Speaking of Brady, adding to his problems is a potential hand injury. Brady downplayed the injury, saying he feels fine, but the video shows a pretty hard shot.

  • Justin Herbert had a big night on Sunday, setting the record for most passing yards through his first three seasons with 13,056. The previous record-holder was now-retired QB Andrew Luck. Herbert had this to say about Luck: "I've got a ton of respect for Andrew Luck. For him as a football player, as a person, as a teammate - I think it's just cool to be in the same conversation as him."
  • The Dallas Cowboys had to breathe several sighs of relief after coming away with a near-loss to the worst team in the league, the Houston Texans. Amongst a string of blowouts, the Cowboys were heavily favored in this one and came away with a 27-23 win. Dak Prescott thinks this type of win will make them a better team in the long term. "This will serve us more than I think the Minnesota game or even the way we finished the last game when it comes down to it because we're going to play some tough games as we get going."
  • Brock Purdy won fans over as he beat Tom Brady in a blowout, and he won over his teammates as well. Nick Bosa praised the rookie's performance: "I had a lot of confidence in him, but obviously, it's the NFL, and you've got to perform. And he did that pretty darn good."
    • Purdy is dealing with an oblique injury and had an MRI on Monday. He is expected to be ready to play on Thursday despite the injury. Purdy was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report.

#49ers QB Brock Purdy is getting an MRI today on his injured oblique, per source.

Purdy got hurt on the game's second drive Sunday, and obviously played well after it. So, not a lot of concern pending further tests. But a quick turnaround for Thursday night in Seattle.

  • Patrick Mahomes threw an uncharacteristic three interceptions on Sunday, but he's thankful the rest of the team was able to step up when he had a bad day. "The defense made a lot of stops in critical moments when we were putting them in some bad situations."
  • Jeff Saturday says Matt Ryan will remain the starting quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts following the bye week.
  • The Washington Commanders activated Carson Wentz off of injured reserve on Monday. He will serve as Taylor Heinicke's backup.

Commanders activated QB Carson Wentz from the Reserve/Injured List.

  • Andy Dalton will remain the New Orleans Saints' starter for Week 15.
  • New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Mike White is day-to-day after suffering a (series of) rib injury on Sunday. Saleh wouldn't commit to Joe Flacco or Zach Wilson starting in his place, or as the backup. I know what the obvious choice is.

Saleh is non-committal on whether it will be Flacco or Wilson for QB2 this week, so it sounds like there’s a chance Wilson could get a bump up. #Jets

  • The Atlanta Falcons announced their quarterback change - to rookie Desmond Ridder. Head coach Arthur Smith said that while it was a performance-based decisiont to bench Marcus Mariota, he will go to injured reserve, ending his season.
  • Russell Wilson exited Sunday's game with a head injury and he was placed in concussion protocol, where he remains. Denver Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett said on Monday that all they can do is go through the process. "

  • The Baltimore Ravens are unsure who will start at QB this week. With Tyler Huntley in concussion protocol, it could be Anthony Brown this week. Head coach John Harbaugh said he has no update on Lamar Jackson's status, which likely means he won't be able to go after missing just one week with a PCL sprain. "I really don't have any updates that I would be allowed to share on that."
