Week 11 was a particularly rough one for quarterbacks, with a number of injury scares on Sunday. Some teams were able to turn their QB losses into wins — the Steelers, for example, smacked the Bengals despite losing Aaron Rodgers to a hand injury early on, while Bryce Young came out of the locker room after an ankle injury to lead the Panthers to a comeback overtime win over the Falcons, and Jordan Love returned to lead the Packers over the Giants.
But for others, it won’t be so easy to bounce back. The Falcons, for instance, placed Michael Penix Jr. on injured reserve Monday with a knee injury in the loss to the Panthers. In Cleveland, meanwhile, Dillon Gabriel’s concussion led to Shedeur Sanders getting his first pro snaps. That didn’t go well, though, as the Ravens rallied to beat the Browns in Gabriel’s absence.

The Eagles beat the Lions on Sunday night, but franchise tackle Lane Johnson reportedly suffered a lisfranc injury and could be set for a spell on injured reserve.
In addition to the quarterbacks, Titans receiver Calvin Ridley’s season is over due to a broken fibula, with Ridley getting carted off during Sunday’s loss to the Texans. Packers running back Josh Jacobs also left Sunday’s win over the Giants early with a knee injury, though reports came Monday he won’t need surgery and has a chance to play in Week 12.
And in some non-injury news, Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase has been suspended one game by the NFL for spitting on Steelers safety Jalen Ramsey, who was ejected from Sunday’s game for throwing a punch at Chase. Chase declined to speak with reporters during open locker room on Monday.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that wide receiver Jayden Reed and running back MarShawn Lloyd could be designated to return from injured reserve this week. They feel like Lloyd is in a “good place right now.”
Reed has not played since suffering a broken collarbone in the Packers’ Week 2 win over the Commanders. Lloyd hasn’t played since Week 2 of his rookie campaign, last season, when he suffered an ankle injury against the Colts. He played in Green Bay’s second preseason game this year and ended up leaving the game with a hamstring injury. That game was also against the Colts. Lloyd is yet to step on the field this season.

Cincinnati Bengals receiver Ja’Marr Chase has been suspended for one week after spitting on Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Jalen Ramsey during Sunday’s game, the NFL announced Monday.
The league announced that Chase was suspended for “unsportsmanlike conduct.” He is set to miss Cincinnati’s Week 12 game against the New England Patriots, though he can appeal the ruling.
In the fourth quarter of the Steelers’ 34-12 win, Ramsey and Chase got into it. Chase spit on Ramsey, and Ramsey punched him in retaliation. Both players were flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Rookie Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders had his house broken into on Sunday during the Cleveland’s loss to the Ravens, per multiple reports. The break-in reportedly occurred while Sanders was making his (somewhat rough) NFL debut.
There are not a lot of details about the break-in at this time, including whether anything was taken. No suspects have been identified.
Sanders becomes the latest pro athlete to have his house broken into during a game. Last year, a string of high-profile burglaries led the NFL to release a statement warning players about the issue.

The Commanders are moving on from kicker Matt Gay after he missed two field goals in an overtime loss against the Dolphins in Madrid.
Gay missed a potential game-winner in regulation from 56 yards away and a 51-yarder in the second quarter. It was a continuation of struggles he has had this season from 50 yards and longer.
He is 4-of-9 from that distance this season.

In another blow to the Bengals defense, cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt is likely to receive season-ending surgery for a Lisfranc (mid-foot) injury, coach Zac Taylor told reporters on Monday.
“Surgery’s likely right now,” Taylor said. “So obviously that’ll take him out.”
As a second-string cornerback, Taylor-Britt has 21 total tackles this season, with 12 solo tackles and five passes defended.

Cincinnati Bengals star Ja’Marr Chase could be looking at a hefty fine from the NFL. Chase got into a scuffle with Pittsburgh Steelers corner Jalen Ramsey in Sunday’s game, which resulted in Ramsey getting ejected for punching Chase in the helmet.
But video revealed Chase may have started the entire thing. Footage circulated Sunday allegedly showing Chase spit on Ramsey, which prompted the cornerback to take a swing at the wideout.
A day after that video emerged, Chase declined to speak with reporters.
That doesn’t necessarily mean anything, though it suggests Chase does not want to deal with questions about the incident until a later date. It’s possible he’s waiting to hear the NFL’s ruling on the matter. That’s expected to come down Monday, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The Steelers didn’t struggle too much despite losing Ramsey. The team still managed a 34-12 win over the Bengals. Chase hauled in three catches for 30 yards in the loss.

The Atlanta Falcons will place quarterback Michael Penix Jr. on injured reserve after the second-year player suffered a knee injury during Sunday’s loss to Carolina, according to Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Penix could potentially miss the remainder of the season due to the injury.
Atlanta fell to 3-7 in the loss and will have veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins taking over under center.
Through nine games this season, Penix passed for 1,982 yards, with 9 touchdowns and 3 interceptions.

Star wide receiver Drake London suffered a sprained PCL in Week 11’s loss to the Carolina Panthers, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Monday. He is expected to miss at least Week 12 with the knee injury, though he could miss more time.
London has 60 catches for 810 yards and six touchdowns this season. In his absence, expect an increased workload for running back Bijan Robinson, tight end Kyle Pitts and receiver Darnell Mooney.
Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. also suffered a potentially season-ending knee injury.
The Falcons’ next game is against the New Orleans Saints. The Falcons are 16th in passing offense and 3-7 this season.

Jacobs left the Packers’ win over the Giants early on Sunday with a knee injury, but his knee is “structurally sound” per NFL Network, and no surgery is needed.
He still has a chance to play Sunday against the Vikings.

Justin Fields’ starting gig with the New York Jets ended after just nine games. Following a miserable start to the season, Fields was benched in favor of Tyrod Taylor ahead of Week 12, according to Diana Russini of The Athletic.
While Fields could still work his way into some starts down the stretch, the move signals a clear change of direction for the Jets moving forward. When the team signed Fields to a two-year $40 million deal in the offseason, it intended on the former first-round pick being a useful stopgap — with the potential for more — over the next couple of seasons.
Jets owner Woody Johnson acknowledged Fields’ poor play this season at the annual Fall League Meeting. Though he maintained that the decision on the team’s quarterback remains with head coach Aaron Glenn, Johnson conceded in October that things haven’t quite come together for Fields thus far.

The Philadelphia Eagles will reportedly be without offensive tackle Lane Johnson for some time after he suffered a Lisfranc injury on Sunday night, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The five-time NFL All-Pro was injured during the Eagles’ 16-9 win over the Detroit Lions. While the injury is not expected to end Johnson’s season, he could be a candidate for injured reserve, which would rule him out for at least four games.

Green Packers running back Josh Jacobs left Sunday’s game against the New York Giants with a knee injury but seems to have avoided a serious one. It does not appear to be a season-ending injury, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.

After leaving the Giants’ Week 10 loss to the Bears, Dart was ruled out for Sunday’s defeat to the Packers.
The rookie quarterback attended Friday’s practice and was on the sidelines for the Green Bay game, but is not ready to return just yet, according to interim head coach Mike Kafka.
Jameis Winston filled in for Dart on Sunday and went 19-for-29 with 201 passing yards and one interception.
