Nathan Peterman Operating As Backup In Week 12

Chicago Bears quarterback Nathan Peterman will back up Trevor Siemian (oblique) against the New York Jets on Sunday.

P.J. Walker Officially Inactive Sunday

Carolina Panthers quarterback P.J. Walker (ankle) is inactive for Week 12 against the Denver Broncos. He had been listed as doubtful, so his absence on Sunday comes as no surprise.

Matthew Stafford Could Be Done For Season

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (neck) could miss the remainder of the 2022 season, according to ESPN.com's Adam Schefter.
