## NFL News Roundup: Latest League Updates from Friday, Nov. 29
### Injury Updates
**Lamar Jackson Ruled Out for Week 13**
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has been officially ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars due to a knee injury. Jackson, who left last week’s game against the Denver Broncos in the first quarter, underwent an MRI on Thursday that revealed a Grade 1 knee sprain. While the injury is not considered long-term, it will sideline him for at least one week. Backup quarterback Tyler Huntley will start in Jackson’s absence.
**Jonathan Taylor, Tee Higgins Questionable for Week 13**
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor and Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins are both listed as questionable for their respective games on Sunday. Taylor has been dealing with an ankle injury, while Higgins is battling a hamstring issue. Both players are expected to test their injuries during pregame warmups to determine their availability.
### Transactions
**Browns Acquire Deshaun Watson in Blockbuster Trade**
In a blockbuster move, the Cleveland Browns have acquired quarterback Deshaun Watson from the Houston Texans in exchange for three first-round picks, a third-round pick, and a fourth-round pick. Watson, a three-time Pro Bowler and two-time NFL passing yards leader, has been suspended for the first 11 games of the 2023 season due to allegations of sexual misconduct. The Browns believe that Watson will be a long-term solution at quarterback and are willing to wait for his return.
**Steelers Release Mason Rudolph**
The Pittsburgh Steelers have released backup quarterback Mason Rudolph. Rudolph, a former third-round pick, has started nine games for the Steelers but has struggled to establish himself as a reliable option. The Steelers will now turn to Mitch Trubisky as their backup quarterback behind starter Kenny Pickett.
