Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow practiced fully this week for the first time since his September toe injury, but coach Zac Taylor has not committed to starting him Sunday against the New England Patriots. Burrow is listed as questionable, with the team weighing risks ahead of a quick turnaround to face the Ravens on Thanksgiving. If Burrow sits, Joe Flacco will make his sixth straight start.
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart remains in concussion protocol and will miss his second straight game against the Detroit Lions in Week 12. Veteran Jameis Winston is set to make his second consecutive start for the Giants.
