The NFL announced a change to the Week 14 schedule on Thursday.

The Bears' game against the Packers at Lambeau Field will now start at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday rather than at 1 p.m. It will take the place of the Bengals-Bills game in Buffalo, which will now move into the early window of games that weekend.

Both games will still be televised on FOX.

The Bears currently lead the NFC North with a 7-3 record and the Packers are right behind them at 6-3-1. The Lions are in the mix as well at 6-4, so the Week 14 matchup between the longtime rivals will be a significant one in determining who comes out of the NFC North.

Panthers quarterback Bryce Young had a minor tweak to his ankle during Sunday's win over the Falcons, but it hasn't sidelined him.

Via multiple reporters, head coach Dave Canales said in his press conference that Young was a full participant in Thursday's practice as Carolina begins its practice week for Monday night's contest against San Francisco.

Young did not miss a play on Sunday, eventually setting a single-game franchise record with 448 passing yards. Young was named NFC offensive player of the week on Wednesday.

Canales also noted that he is not planning for linebacker Christian Rozeboom to be available for Monday night as he deals with a hamstring injury. But, Canales has not yet ruled out linebacker Trevn Wallace, who has a shoulder injury. Neither Rozeboom nor Wallace practiced on Thursday.

But safety Lathan Ransom was back on the field for the session after missing Week 11 with a hand injury.

Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers' plans to get on the practice field on Thursday came to fruition.

Reporters at the open portion of the Steelers practice shared pictures of Rodgers in uniform and going through drills. The team's injury report will bring word about how much work Rodgers did during the session.

Rodgers suffered a fracture in his left wrist during last Sunday's win over the Bengals. He said on Wednesday that he wants to play, but needs to know he'll be able to protect himself on the field along with getting a green light from the medical staff in order to face the Bears.

Mason Rudolph would be the likely starter if Rodgers does not play. Rookie Will Howard would serve as Rudolph's backup in that case.
