NFL injury tracker: Latest injury news, fantasy implications as Bengals reportedly won’t activate Joe Burrow for Week 12

The Cincinnati Bengals won’t move quarterback Joe Burrow to the active roster for Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Joe Flacco will reportedly start his sixth consecutive game in the absence of Burrow, who is making his way back to the field after recovering from a turf toe injury he suffered in the second game of the season.

Burrow, who had surgery on his toe on Sept. 19, is still on injured reserve. He was listed as «questionable» heading into the weekend.

«He’s done everything he can. He looks great,» Zac Taylor told reporters Friday. «You expect it to respond great when he’s out there and gets tackled, but you don’t know … and two games in five days, you have to account for that.»

The Bengals will play the division-rival Baltimore Ravens on Thanksgiving, a game that Burrow said would be «very» meaningful to play in when his 21-day practice window was opened on Nov. 10.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart has been ruled out for their Week 12 game against the Detroit Lions.

Interim head coach Mike Kafka cited Dart’s lack of progression through concussion protocol as the reason he will miss this week, not the organization being extra cautious.

Dart was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday and but has yet to be cleared from protocol.

The rookie quarterback missed last week’s loss to the Green Bay Packers after suffering a concussion in Week 10 against the Chicago Bears.

After taking a number of hits in his first NFL season and needing four concussion evaluations, the Ole Miss product has reportedly been told by people inside and outside the organization to be more careful when running with the ball and to better protect himself.

Dart has had an impressive start to his NFL career with the Giants. Through nine games, he has 1,417 passing yards with 10 touchdowns and three interceptions. He has also been productive on the ground, picking up 317 rushing yards and seven touchdowns — both are tops among rookies.

Other notable Week 12 injuries:

• Aaron Rodgers is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Bears as he deals with a fractured left wrist. A day after head coach Mike Tomlin said that Rodgers would not need surgery, the veteran wore a brace as a limited participant in Thursday’s practice. He remained limited in Friday’s practice. If Rodgers can’t go, backup Mason Rudolph will be in line to start.

• Bucky Irving has not played since Week 4, but is «trending up,» according to Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles. The running back has been out with foot and shoulder injuries, but did return to practice. Bowles said that Irving «didn’t handle» being hurt for the first time in his NFL career well. The Bucs are eyeing their Week 13 game against the Cardinals as a potential return date.

• Josh Jacobs says if he misses any time, it will not be more than one game. The Green Bay Packers running back suffered a knee injury during last week’s win over the Giants and was back at practice on Thursday in a limited fashion after sitting out Wednesday. He’s been dealing with swelling and stiffness in the knee. He’s listed as «questionable» and was limited again in Friday’s practice.
