  • Tanner McKee QB | PHI

    Eagles' Tanner McKee: Emergency QB for Week 2

    McKee (thumb) is inactive but will serve as the Eagles' emergency third-string quarterback against the Chiefs on Sunday.

    McKee is still recovering from a fractured right thumb that he suffered during training camp. He will be the Eagles' third-string quarterback for Sunday's Super Bowl LIX rematch, which means he'll only see the field if both Jalen Hurts and Sam Howell were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

  • Joe Burrow QB | CIN

    Bengals' Joe Burrow: Injures toe Sunday

    Burrow was forced out of Sunday's game against the Jaguars with a left toe injury.

    Following Burrow's exit from the contest, Jake Browning took over at QB for the Bengals. The Bengals subsequently announced that Burrow's return to the game is questionable.

  • Riley Leonard QB | IND

    Colts' Riley Leonard: Emergency QB3 vs. Denver

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

    As the emergency third-string quarterback, Leonard will see the field Sunday only if both Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson were to leave due to injury, illness or ejection.

  • Sam Ehlinger QB | DEN

    Broncos' Sam Ehlinger: Playing emergency role again

    Ehlinger (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.

    Ehlinger will serve as the emergency third quarterback behind Bo Nix and Jarrett Stidham, meaning he can enter the game if both of them are forced to exit due to injury, illness or ejection. The former Colt played the same role a week ago for Denver.

  • Joe Burrow QB | CIN

    Bengals' Joe Burrow: Exits Sunday's game

    Burrow headed to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Jaguars after sustaining an unspecified injury, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Prior to his exit from the contest, Burrow -- who walked off the field with the assistance of trainers, per Baby -- completed seven of his 13 pass attempts for 76 yards and a TD. In Burrow's absence, Jake Browning is in at QB for the Bengals.

  • Tommy DeVito QB | NE

    Patriots' Tommy DeVito: Emergency QB for Week 2

    DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Patriots' emergency third quarterback against the Dolphins on Sunday.

    DeVito will be New England's emergency quarterback for a second consecutive week after he was claimed off waivers in late August. As the emergency QB3, DeVito is not allowed to play unless Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs are both removed from Sunday's contest due to injury, illness or ejection.

  • Jameis Winston QB | NYG

    Giants' Jameis Winston: Again serving as emergency QB

    Winston (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys but is serving as the Giants emergency quarterback.

    First-round rookie Jaxson Dart will again work as the backup to starter Russell Wilson, with Winston continuing to suit up as the emergency No. 3 quarterback. Wilson struggled in his Giants debut last week, and Dart could get an opportunity if those struggles continue Sunday. Winston, however, can only take the field in Dallas if both Wilson and Dart are injured.

  • Quinn Ewers QB | JAC

    Dolphins' Quinn Ewers: Emergency QB for Week 2

    Ewers (coach's decision) is inactive and will serve as the Dolphins' emergency third-string quarterback for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

    Ewers will be Miami's emergency QB3 for a second consecutive week. That means he would only see the field Sunday if both Tua Tagovailoa and Zach Wilson were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

  • Jalen Milroe QB | SEA

    Seahawks' Jalen Milroe: Emergency QB for Week 2

    Milroe (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Seahawks' emergency third-string quarterback against the Steelers on Sunday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    The rookie third-rounder saw the field for one offensive snap and took his lone carry for one yard during the Seahawks' Week 1 loss to the 49ers. However, as the emergency QB, Milroe will be allowed to see the field Sunday only if Sam Darnold and Drew Lock were both to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

  • Browns' Shedeur Sanders: Serving as emergency QB again

    Sanders (coach's decision) is inactive and designated as Cleveland's emergency third quarterback for Sunday's Week 2 game against Baltimore.

    This is the second straight week to open Sanders' NFL career that he's inactive as the Browns' emergency QB. He'll be eligible to enter Sunday's contest only if both signal-callers ahead of him -- Joe Flacco and Dillon Gabriel -- are forced out of the game due to injury, illness or suspension.
