    Bengals' Joe Burrow: Won't return to Sunday's game

    Burrow (toe) won't return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Per Ben Baby of ESPN.com, Burrow sustained his toe injury when he was sacked with 8:36 left in the second quarter of Sunday's contest. The quarterback, who walked off the field with the assistance of trainers, subsequently underwent an MRI, per Joe Danneman of FOX19 before being ruled out. Burrow's status now will need to be closely monitored ahead of next weekend's tilt against the Vikings, with Jake Browning next in line for the Bengals' QB snaps, and Brett Rypien currently a member of the team's practice squad.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • Tommy DeVito QB | NE

    Patriots' Tommy DeVito: Emergency QB for Week 2

    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.
