Beck (back) is inactive but will serve as the emergency third quarterback against the Broncos on Sunday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Beck was unable to practice Thursday and Friday due to back spasms. He's inactive for Sunday's contest, but as the emergency third quarterback, he would be allowed to play in the event that both Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew left the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Shough completed 30 of 38 passes for 278 yards and one touchdown with one interception in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Steelers. He added seven rushing yards on three carries.

With the Saints' ground game getting absolutely nowhere -- Shough actually led the team in rushing yards -- the second-year QB had to air it out frequently once again, but the volume didn't result in much production. Shough will head into a Week 8 bye averaging 39 pass attempts a game -- the fourth-highest mark in the league behind Matthew Stafford, Dak Prescott and Bryce Young -- to go along with a 13:6 TD:INT and 1,721 passing yards.

Rodgers completed 19 of 30 passes for 212 passes and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Saints. He added six yards on three carries.

The Steelers' offense relied heavily on its backfield in this one, as Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle combined for 36 touches and 223 scrimmage yards. Rodgers did produce the team's only TD of the day on a four-yard toss to Darnell Washington in the second quarter. The veteran QB will take a 13:5 TD:INT through seven games into a Week 8 clash with the Browns, who Rodgers threw three touchdowns and a season-high 299 yards against in Week 4.

Green (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the emergency third quarterback Sunday against the Titans, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

Dillon Gabriel (back) is staying on IR, so Green will once again serve as the emergency QB3 behind Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders. As such, Green is not allowed to play Sunday unless both Watson and Sanders leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Sanders is active as the Browns' backup quarterback for Sunday's game against. the Titans.

After Deshaun Watson had a listless performance in a blowout loss to the Jaguars in Week 1, Ian Rapoport of ESPN had reported that Sanders could get a chance to start as soon as Week 3 if the Browns continued to languish. Watson has since steadied the ship, leading the Browns to wins in four of their last five games to put them atop the AFC North standings heading into Week 7 action. As a result, Sanders doesn't appear likely to threaten Watson's standing atop the depth chart anytime soon, though Sanders will continue to suit up on game days ahead of rookie Taylen Green, who will once again be inactive Sunday as the Browns' emergency No. 3 quarterback.

King (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the emergency third quarterback against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

King has been the Panthers' emergency QB3 behind Bryce Young and Kenny Pickett all season, and that trend will continue Sunday. As such, King is prohibited from seeing the field unless both Young and Pickett exit the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Strand (coach's decision) is inactive as the emergency third quarterback for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Strand is the emergency third option behind Michael Penix and Tua Tagovailoa, while Andy Dalton (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch as he continues to learn the Falcons' offense. Strand will only enter Sunday's game against the 49ers if both Penix and Tagovailoa cannot continue due to injury, illness or ejection.

Dalton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Dalton is a healthy scratch for Sunday's contest as he continues to ramp up his participation in the Falcons' offense. The quarterback joined the team after being cut by the Eagles on Oct. 9. Jack Strand (coach's decision) will be the inactive QB behind Michael Penix and Tua Tagovailoa for Week 7 against the 49ers.

Haener is inactive Week 7 against the Texans but is listed as the Giants' emergency quarterback, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Haener will resume the same role he's had since his October signing in which he'll only be able to take the field if both J.J. McCarthy and Jameis Winston go down due to injury, illness, or ejection.

Leonard (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Colts' emergency third quarterback against the Vikings on Sunday.

Leonard will continue to serve as the team's emergency QB3, and as such, he is prohibited from playing Sunday unless both Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson are removed from the game due to injury, illness or ejection.
