Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against New England. Matt Flynn will start his first ever NFL game, and should be a little bit more prepared to play this week after taking all the first-team reps in practice. Still, he makes every Packer skill player outside of [...]

Washington Redskins QB Rex Grossman will start Sunday’s game against Dallas over Donovan McNabb, according to Kelli Johnson of CSN Washington. Offensive Coordinator Kyle Shanahan stated Thursday that Grossman was not receiving increased reps in practice, but that is obviously not the case. The team has no reason to start Grossman, as he is not [...]

Minnesota Vikings QB Tarvaris Jackson suffered a turf toe injury during Monday’s loss to the Giants and is uncertain to play this week against Chicago, according to Coach Leslie Frazier. Tests on Brett Favre’s shoulder reportedly came back pretty positive, so the team will hope he can go if Jackson is unable to play. Rookie [...]

Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre (shoulder) is considered unlikely to play, according to Coach Leslie Frazier, but will test the shoulder in pregame warmups in hopes of playing. Favre’s 297-consecutive game streak is on the line, and you can be sure he’ll do whatever it takes to make it 298. Tarvaris Jackson practiced with the [...]

Kansas City Chiefs QB Matt Cassel (appendectomy) is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game against San Diego.

Detroit Lions QB Matt Stafford made some short throws during Wednesday’s practice and is expected to return before the end of the season, barring setbacks. Tom Kowalski of MLive.com predicts Stafford could return in Week 16 if everything progresses as planned. We don’t see why the team would rush their franchise quarterback back on the [...]

The San Francisco 49ers have announced QB Alex Smith will start Sunday against Seattle, replacing QB Troy Smith. Smith went 3-2 as the 49ers’ starter, but the team will go ahead and take the final few weeks to re-evaluate Smith. Smith’s re-insertion is good news for both Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree.

The Lions’ #2 QB played through the injury during Thursday’s loss to New England, but he’s not expecting to [...]
