Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud is "very close" to returning from a concussion, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Browns rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel was ruled out for the second half against the Ravens after being evaluated for a concussion.

Stroud hasn't played since sustaining a concussion in Week 9 against the Denver Broncos. He'll miss a third consecutive game Thursday night.

The Browns are starting their third quarterback of the season, naming Shedeur Sanders the guy against the Raiders

Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold remains in concussion protocol more than a week after he suffered a brain injury vs the Washington Commanders.

Cleveland Browns rookie Shedeur Sanders will make his first NFL start Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders, head coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday.

Alford sat out Sunday's game versus the Panthers because of a concussion he sustained in Week 10 at Indianapolis, and he's still not back up to full speed as Atlanta begins Week 12 prep. He'll have to clear league concussion protocol Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.
