Taylor Heinicke Cleared For Week 17

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Taylor Heinicke (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 17 matchup against the Chicago Bears.

After missing two starts due to injury, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith was back in action in Week 16, completing 25 of 36 passes for 227 yards and two touchdowns against the Tennessee Titans.

Clayton Tune A Risky Play If Kyler Murray Misses Time

As Week 17 approaches, Arizona Cardinals backup quarterback Clayton Tune looms as a potential starter if Kyler Murray is sidelined due to illness.
