Who Should I Start? Josh Allen or Hendon Hooker

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's practice, according to the team. Allen is listed with a right-elbow injury on the Week 13 injury report, but he should be fine to play this weekend against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 29-year-old had his left shoulder examined by trainers in last Thursday night's loss to the Houston Texans in a game in which he was constantly being hit and sacked by the No. 1 defense in the league. Allen was also seen shaking his right hand, but he assured us after the game that everything was fine. He scored a whopping six touchdowns (three passing, three rushing) in Week 11, but then laid an egg last week with zero touchdowns. He should be able to bounce back against Pittsburgh this weekend, but it sure would be nice if he could get tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) and receiver Keon Coleman back.

The Carolina Panthers came to an agreement with quarterback Hendon Hooker, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The former Tennessee Volunteer is set to join Carolina's practice squad after being waived by Detroit. The Lions selected Hooker in the third round in 2023, but ultimately moved on this offseason after he lost the backup QB competition against journeyman Kyle Allen. Carolina will start Bryce Young and brought back Andy Dalton, but will slot Hooker into their third QB spot heading into the season.
