Week 14 Essential NFL Practice News & Notes for Thursday

Dec 08, 2016

Jaguars QB Blake Bortles (right shoulder) took full practice reps again Thursday. Bortles will be fine to face the Vikings, but it’s a terrible matchup.

Rams QB Jared Goff (illness) returned to full practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday.

Browns QB Cody Kessler (concussion) took full practice reps again Thursday. The Browns plan to start Robert Griffin III this week. He had an impressive preseason (22-of-38 for 313 yards with three touchdowns and an 8.2 YPA) before getting injured during a less-than-stellar Week 1 outing against the Eagles. The Browns want to see if Griffin is the quarterback of the future. In his sole start, Griffin targeted Terrelle Pryor (7), Corey Coleman (5) and Duke Johnson (5) the most.

Colts QB Andrew Luck (right shoulder) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Luck shouldn’t have a problem playing through the injury.

Cardinals QB Carson Palmer (not injury related) returned to full practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday. Palmer will be fine to face the Dolphins.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (hamstring) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Rodgers will be out there against Seattle.

Texans QB Tom Savage (right elbow) missed practice again Thursday.

Broncos QB Trevor Siemian (foot) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Siemian may be able to return this week. It would be an upgrade for Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders.
