Ravens are finalizing a trade for Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett as Lamar Jackson's injury clouds Baltimore's season.

ESPN, citing sources, reported the trade is being finalized, and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said it is expected to be completed this weekend. Jackson's injury is reported as potentially season-ending, and Tyler Huntley is not expected to play again this year. Brissett has 1,719 yards, 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions this season, and Joe Fagnano is still expected to start Thursday against Jacksonville.

Rams cornerback Jaylen Watson out for season after shoulder surgery; Packers open Micah Parsons' practice window.

Watson re-aggravated a shoulder injury in the Rams' Week 8 win over the Chargers, and Sean McVay said doctors advised the team to shut him down. Watson, on a three-year, $51 million contract, had 24 tackles and an interception in seven games. Packers fan site Acme Packing Company reports that Parsons, coming off a torn ACL last season, said his knee feels great and that he may be back on the roster around Week 12.

Jauan Jennings chose to stay with the Vikings rather than return to the 49ers, Kyle Shanahan confirmed.

Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reported over the weekend that San Francisco and Minnesota had a deal in place, and Shanahan said that report was accurate but not fully detailed. Shanahan said the 49ers had a FaceTime call with Jennings, who told him he was happy with the Vikings, and that there was no bad blood. Jennings has six catches on 10 targets in six games this season, according to the NY Post.

Matthew Stafford says his right elbow soreness is nothing serious and that he has not missed a rep.

Stafford was listed as a full participant on the injury report with an elbow injury, and the report said it is not serious. He was seen with ice on the elbow after Sunday's win over the Chargers, and he threw only 25 passes in that game. Myles Garrett returned to practice as a limited participant after knee surgery in mid-September, having missed seven games.
