Aaron Rodgers, who was activated off injured reserve Saturday, will go through a "trial practice week" by primarily serving as the scout team quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, according to a team source.

Rodgers broke his right clavicle Oct. 15 and underwent a surgical repair.

The Packers (6-6) are still alive in the NFC playoff picture and play the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, with Brett Hundley making his seventh start since Rodgers was injured in Week 6.

Rodgers is eligible under the league's designated to return rules for the Packers' Dec. 17 game against the Panthers. He still would need medical clearance to formally return to play, but his scout team work this week will serve as the next step before a full return to practice next week the story said.

Bills QB Tyrod Taylor will have tests on his knee, but he has told people close to him that he’s going to be OK.

It's believed he has avoided major injury, according to the rest of the tweet. Early reports also varied between the injury being to his ankle and not the knee but it now seems to be the knee. Things didn't look good at first as Taylor was carted off and appeared to be visibly upset. We'll continue to monitor the injury and his status for Week 14.

Tyrod Taylor was carted off the field to the Buffalo Bills' locker room after sustaining a left knee injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the New England Patriots.

Nathan Peterman replaced him at quarterback.

Taylor was quickly ruled out for the remainder of the game. Other reports say he injured his ankle so a lot seems to be up in the air at this point. Either way, Taylor appeared to be upset heading off the field which could very well mean this is a serious injury.

For the Packers and QB Aaron Rodgers, many factors will go into him actually playing—including the scan and the team’s standing. Today, he practiced a little and obviously not with the first team. It merely means he hasn’t had any setbacks and is on schedule.

If you're in a redraft league, are in good position for the playoffs, and Rodgers is somehow available, pick him up and stash him. The same can be said for Jordy Nelson, who may have been dropped after multiple terrible weeks. The Week 15 and 16 matchups are not great, but Rodgers is elite and Nelson is elite with Rodgers.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for the first time in public since his Oct. 19 surgery to repair his broken right clavicle.

And this wasn’t just a little tossing around the pigskin. He launched at least one throw that traveled more than 50 yards in the air. The workout took place about two hours before the Packers played the Steelers at Heinz Field.

Rodgers went on injured reserve the day after his surgery and is eligible to practice this coming week. However, he must remain on IR for eight weeks, meaning the earliest he could possibly play would be Dec. 17 at Carolina -- the Packers’ Week 15 game.

In the aftermath of the Bills' 16-10 victory against the Kansas City Chiefs, the elephant in the room was the quarterback situation.

After getting enough from Tyrod Taylor for the Bills to get a victory, coach Sean McDermott was asked whether the win proved that he erred in having Nathan Peterman start last week against the Los Angeles Chargers. Peterman threw five interceptions and the Bills were blown out.

McDermott again said he felt the move was the right thing for his football team at the time, but he did commit to Taylor for next Sunday's home game against the New England Patriots.

Asked specifically whether Taylor is the quarterback until the team would be eliminated from the playoffs, McDermott said, "Tyrod is our quarterback next week."

Doesn't seem like McDermott wants to say starting Peterman last week may not have been the best move, but at least committed to Taylor for Week 13.

Bills HC Sean McDermott on the starting QB: We're still evaluating that right now. We'll take it one day at a time.

It's hard to imagine Taylor not getting the start in Week 12 against the Chiefs.
