Hurts was a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice but upgraded to a full participant on Thursday. With Friday’s practice still to go, Sirianni wasted no time letting people know that his star quarterback will be ready to play on Sunday against the Rams. Hurts profile as a high-end QB1 in Week 12 and enters the game having scored a rushing touchdown in five-straight games.

Fox Sports’ Jordan Schultz was the first to report the release. This move doesn’t come as much of a surprise after Jones seemingly made his final statement as a member of the Giants in a Thursday presser. The team announced earlier this week that Jones would be relegated to QB3 on the depth chart in favor of Tommy DeVito, but now he’ll hit waivers after being granted his release. Jones will presumably clear waivers due to his massive contract, which would then leave him free to sign with any team. Jones didn’t make it through the second year of the four-year contract extension he signed in 2023. Since signing that deal, he’s thrown for 2,979-10-13 while going 3-13 as a starter. Jones is due over $13.8 million in 2024 and the Giants will take on more than $20 million in dead money with his release. He’ll likely get a fresh start as a backup once he clears waivers, but his days as a permanent starter have likely come to an end.

Like Kyle Shanahan, Lynch also wouldn’t commit to Purdy’s Week 12 availability. Instead, he said the situation “is tenuous” while adding that the team will “go forth accordingly” after getting a look at Purdy in Friday’s practice. If Purdy is unable to play, Brandon Allen would be the favorite to start. Lynch said Allen would take the first snaps in practice if Purdy can’t go. Things remain very wait-and-see for Purdy at this time.

Hill was upgraded to full after being limited on Wednesday. The star receiver has been playing through the same injury for most of this season and should be good to go for Week 12’s game against the Patriots, barring any setbacks. Hill has had a disappointing fantasy season thus far, finishing as a WR3 or worse in PPR leagues in eight of his 10 games played. He’s best thought of as a solid WR2 until further notice.

A lower body strengthening program appears to be the culprit behind Hurts being a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice. The Eagles’ QB1 was upgraded to a full participant on Thursday and should be good to go for Sunday’s game against the Rams, barring any setbacks. Hurts will be a high-end QB1 in Week 12 and will look to extend his rushing touchdown streak to six-straight games.

Alexander suffered a knee injury in Week 8’s win over the Jaguars and has played sparingly in just one game since his injury. Alexander missed Week 9’s game against the Lions but was active in last week’s win over the Bears. However, he played only 10 defensive snaps before being ruled out for the remainder of the game, and has been a DNP in both practices to start this week. It sounds like Alexander will take as much time as needed to recover from his injury, but surgery does not appear to be on the table at this time.

Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Darnold is “tracking to play Sunday against the Bears.” The Vikings’ QB1 was listed as limited on Wednesday due to the injury, but whatever he’s dealing with appears to be minor. Fantasy managers banking on Darnold in Sunday’s game against the Bears should expect to see him on the field barring any setbacks. He’ll be a mid to high-end QB2 if available.

Lamb wasn’t spotted during the media portion of Thursday’s practice, but the team officially listed him as a DNP later in the day. This immediately puts his Week 12 availability up in the air, as the Cowboys may think better of letting him play through multiple injuries in what is more or less a lost season. Lamb’s Week 12 outlook will be a bit more optimistic if he can get on the field Friday.

This doesn’t come as much of a surprise. Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said earlier in the week that Ferguson would be “hard-pressed” to play in Week 12 against the Commanders. Barring an unexpected turn of events, we’d expected Ferguson to be ruled out before the weekend, paving the way for Luke Schoonmaker to take his role as a viable tight end streamer after catching six passes for 56 yards on 10 targets in last week’s loss to the Texans.

After being limited in his return to practice on Wednesday, Evans was upgraded to a full participant on Thursday and should be good to go for Week 12’s game against the Giants, barring any setbacks. The veteran receiver said earlier in the week that he “could have tried to push it” for the team’s Week 10 game against the 49ers, but it sounds like the extra time off has allowed him to be more than ready for a Week 12 return. Evans is trending in the right direction and could be off the injury report completely by Friday. He’ll be a solid WR2 in a plus matchup against the G-Men.
