Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been dealing with a shoulder injury for over a month, but it didn't look like it hindered him much in the NFC Championship Game. Hurts said Thursday that he's still working through it but expects to play.

Jalen Hurts on how he is feeling with his injured shoulder:

“I’m getting there. I’ve made it clear this whole time it’s something I’m dealing with.”

Says it is getting better with time #Eagles

more Qb news:

  • It was drilled into our brains yesterday, but yes, Tom Brady retired (again). Aside from the most obvious question - will it last? - another question emerged: Will he retire a New England Patriot or a Tampa Bay Buccaneer? Patriots owner Robert Kraft said he's hoping it's the former. "Not only do I want it, our fans are clamoring for it, and to us, he always has been and always will be a Patriot. We'll do everything we can in our power to bring him back, sign off as a Patriot, and find ways to honor him for many years to come." Oh yes, all we need is ~more~ ways to honor him.
  • Despite looking pretty hobbled after the game, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes says he didn't experience any setbacks with his ankle injury after the AFC Championship Game.

Mahomes said no reaggravation panthers ankle against Bengals. Just general soreness from a physical game."Other than that, I'm in a good spot." pic.twitter.com/yLszebtWJq

  • Derek Carr will move on in 2023, and the Las Vegas Raiders will likely trade him. While Carr is not "elite," he's a clear upgrade for many teams. So, who will take him? General Manager Dave Ziegler says Carr will likely have a lot of interest.
    • Carr also spoke about his moving on at the Pro Bowl Games.

While he still has to make a firm decision on his future in the NFL, a trade is still on the table for Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. A trade would free up a big chunk of change for the team ($60 million, to be exact), but he is not expected to be traded to an NFC team. A couple of intriguing teams are the Las Vegas Raiders and the New York Jets, both of whom are expected to move on from their current starters.

More context: Aaron Rodgers doesn't have a no-trade clause in his contract. The #Packers don't need his direct permission to trade him, at least not contractually.

more qb news:

  • The NFL issued a $16,444 fine on Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady for attempting to trip Dallas Cowboys' Malik Hooker in the Wild Card Round. Brady says he plans to appeal the fine. "I didn't even hit him. I tried to trip him, but I didn't. So, I don't know how you can get fined for something that didn't even happen." Umm... baby, that's not how this works.
  • The New England Patriots hired Bill O'Brien as their offensive coordinator on Tuesday, and quarterback Mac Jones is said to be "very excited" about the hire. Jones regressed big time in his second season, and O'Brien is a good fit.
  • Davis Webb started at quarterback for the New York Giants in Week 18, and that may have been it for him. Webb is interested in moving to coaching, and many teams need help on the offensive side of the ball.

Giants’ backup QB Davis Webb, who was offered Buffalo’s QB coach job last off-season, has expressed interest in starting the transition from player to coach. After securing his first NFL start this season, Webb will consider making the jump to coaching for the right opportunity.

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.

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.
  • Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said he doesn't know what Lamar Jackson's status will be this week.

Rams claim Baker Mayfield

The Los Angeles Rams were the lucky winners of the Baker Mayfield sweepstakes after he was put on waivers by the Carolina Panthers on Monday.

Former No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield was claimed on waivers today by the Los Angeles Rams, per league sources. The Rams now inherit the remaining $1.35 million on Mayfield’s contract. Mayfield is expected to fly to LA by tonight and could play Thursday night vs. the Raiders. pic.twitter.com/CAIVhY25Nu

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) December 6, 2022
While he's not expected to start on Thursday night, Mayfield reportedly went straight to LA, playbook in hand and ready to learn the offense. The Rams placed starting quarterback Matthew Stafford on injured reserve after a series of injuries; backup John Wolford is also injured, leaving Bryce Perkins at the position.

While Los Angeles is all but done as far as the playoff race goes, and Mayfield hasn't exactly lit it up in the NFL, this is the best roster he's been a part of thus far. It'll be interesting to see what comes of this move long-term.

Despite a few other teams potentially needing someone at the QB position, the Rams were the only team to put in a waiver claim for Mayfield.

more qb news:

  • In probably the best news they could have gotten, Jimmy Garoppolo got good news on his foot injury on Tuesday, avoiding a Lisfranc injury and surgery. Garoppolo could return in 7-8 weeks, putting him in the window to return in the postseason, should the San Francisco 49ers make it that far without him. The Niners plan to roll with Brock Purdy at the starting role for the time being.
    • The Niners signed QB Josh Johnson to a one-year deal.
    • San Francisco did not put a waiver claim in on Mayfield.

Sources: Doctors concluded today that 49ers' QB Jimmy Garoppolo does not need foot surgery, it is not a Lisfranc injury, and if rehab goes smoothly, he could have a chance to return in 7-8 weeks, making him a potential playoff contributor. pic.twitter.com/beYu1Pa9KU

  • Baltimore Ravens quarterback has been diagnosed with a sprained PCL, and will likely miss Week 14's game. A typical recovery period for this type of injury is 1-3 weeks.
    • While the Pittsburgh Steelers aren't likely to face starting quarterback Lamar Jackson on Sunday, they will meet Tyler Huntley, a familiar face for them. Huntley played a pretty solid game against Pittsburgh last season, and head coach Mike Tomlin says they're expecting an improved Huntley. "We expect to see a much better guy."

Ravens’ QB Lamar Jackson suffered a sprained PCL during Sunday’s win over the Denver Broncos, per league sources. PCL injuries often sideline players 1-to-3 weeks and Ravens’ HC John Harbaugh already has said Jackson is “less likely” to play Sunday vs. the Steelers. pic.twitter.com/4ra4KDuUdQ

  • The Indianapolis Colts have a bye week in Week 14, and they'll (hopefully) spend it evaluating things. Head coach Jeff Saturday says they'll look at everything, including the QB position because Matt Ryan is bad. "We're going to look at everything, no position in particular, but everybody. We need the best 11 on the field every time. If we think somebody gives us a better chance to win, let's have those discussions this week."
  • Speaking of benching quarterbacks on their bye week, I present to you the Atlanta Falcons. Head coach Arthur Smith talked about making team changes during this week off. "We've got to get over this hump here, and there are a lot of things at stake. It's going to be what's best for this team short term and long term."
  • Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said there could be discussions about backup QB Jordan Love starting games late in the regular season.
  • Tua Tagovailoa left Sunday's game early while dealing with an ankle injury. Head coach Mike McDaniel said it's not a big deal, and Tagovailoa shouldn't miss any time. "We will just be mindful of what he does...But I'm very confident and don't anticipate any sort of setback that would negate him playing in the upcoming football match."
  • The Washington Commanders seem prepared to ride the Taylor Heinicke wave from now on, with Carson Wentz as the backup. Head coach Ron Rivera confirmed. "I feel comfortable with Taylor. When Carson's activated, he'll be the primary backup, and we'll go from there."
  • John Wolford returned to a limited practice on Tuesday.

  • Jimmy Garoppolo stayed in the game on Sunday but took a massive shot to his knee (yep, the one he had previously had surgery on). Even though he wasn't seriously hurt, Garoppolo spoke about how he doesn't think those hits have a place on the field. "You've got to be smart as players, look out for one another. There's no place for that. I'm alright - a little sore, but nothing bad."
  • Sam Darnold got his first start of the season and seemed to have it together more than any other quarterback who has started for the Carolina Panthers this year. But, he says, it isn't about him. "There are so many guys that had a hand in this, for me to just go out there, do my job and find some completions, move the chains a couple of times... Just super proud of the guys in the locker room." A humble king.

The Miami Dolphins ended up pulling starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa before the end of the game because they had the Houston Texans so far in the hole.

The Dolphins were up 30-6 when they pulled Tagovailoa with just over three minutes left in the third quarter.

Tagovailoa earned these MVP chants this week.
Sam Darnold played his first game of the season after suffering an ankle injury in the preseason. And.. surprise. He added a much needed spark to the otherwise lifeless Carolina Panthers offense.

Darnold didn't blow anyone away - he was 11-of-19 for 164 yards and one touchdown - but he was better than Russell Wilson and the tanking Denver Broncos by a mile.

And now I present to you, the most Sam Darnold touchdown of all time.

will Carson Wentz get his starting job back?

The Washington Commanders beat the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night, which sparked questions that have been brewing for a few weeks: Should Taylor Heinicke keep the starting job? Will Carson Wentz, the intended starter, get his job back?

Wentz is currently on injured reserve but is set to return soon. The Commanders' offense is playing better with Heinicke. Washington is 3-1 when Heinicke starts, compared to just 2-4 under Wentz. The Commanders will also have to give up a second-round pick to the Indianapolis Colts if Wentz plays 70 percent of snaps. It's a no-brainer for me.

Head coach Ron Rivera spoke on Tuesday and did not name a starter for Week 11.

Ron Rivera on the QB plan:

"We're going to see what happens this week."
