  • Brandon Allen QB | NYG

    49ers' Brandon Allen: Odd man out

    Allen (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Steelers.

    Allen was able to make the team as the No. 3 quarterback, but he'll be wearing street clothes in Pittsburgh, while San Francisco opts to dress just Brock Purdy and Sam Darnold.

  • Jaren Hall QB | SEA

    Vikings' Jaren Hall: Inactive against Bucs

    Hall (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

    Hall played Minnesota's entire final preseason game, suggesting he was third on the team's depth chart. Nick Mullens will serve as the backup to Kirk Cousins.

  • Tyler Huntley QB | BAL

    Ravens' Tyler Huntley: Third QB in Week 1

    Huntley is the Ravens' inactive third QB for Sunday's game against the Texans, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Per Wacker, Huntley indicated Friday that he wasn't quite back from a hamstring issue. As a result, Josh Johnson is slated to serve as Baltimore's No. 2 QB behind Lamar Jackson on Sunday.

  • Will Levis QB | TEN

    Titans' Will Levis: Third quarterback to begin career

    Levis (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints.

    Levis will serve as the Titans' third quarterback, with Malik Willis instead serving as Ryan Tannehill's backup. Levis missed two of the team's three preseason games with a thigh injury, so this decision doesn't come as a significant surprise.

  • Logan Woodside QB | ARI

    Falcons' Logan Woodside: Serving as emergency QB

    Woodside (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, but he'll dress and serve as the Falcons' emergency quarterback, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Woodside doesn't count against the 53-man roster but will be available if Desmond Ridder and Taylor Heinicke are forced out of the game. Woodside appeared in one game for Atlanta last year but played just four offensive snaps and didn't attempt a pass.

  • Matt Corral QB | MIN

    Patriots' Matt Corral: Away from team

    Corral (undisclosed) was placed on the Patriots' exempt/left squad list Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    The second-year signal-caller was not waived by New England but was placed on the team's reserve/left squad list. It's unclear why Corral is not with the Patriots at the moment, but once he returns, he'll rejoin a quarterback room of Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe.

  • Brett Rypien QB | MIN

    Rams' Brett Rypien: Elevated from practice squad

    The Rams have elevated Rypien to their active roster ahead of Sunday's season-opening game in Seattle.

    No surprise here, as Stetson Bennett (shoulder) has been ruled out and could be heading to injured reserve. As a result, Rypien is the No. 2 option under center behind Matthew Stafford for the immediate future. The 27-year-old Rypien suited up for eight games across three seasons with the Broncos' organization prior to landing with the Rams. He managed to tally 80 completions on 130 attempts for 778 yards, four touchdowns and eight interceptions during that time.

  • Matt Corral QB | MIN

    Matt Corral: Let go by New England

    Corral (undisclosed) was waived from the Patriots' active roster Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    It's unclear what injury Corral suffered during the week or if it weighed into the decision to waive the second-year signal caller, but it's entirely possible Corral could rejoin the Patriots' practice squad in due time. The Patriots signed Bailey Zappe to the 53-man roster in a corresponding move.

  • Bailey Zappe QB | NYJ

    Patriots' Bailey Zappe: Returns as backup

    Zappe will back up Mac Jones on Sunday against the Eagles after signing with the Patriots' 53-man roster Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    The Patriots placed Matt Corral on the exempt/left squad list in a corresponding move, seemingly ending a confusing two-week period where it appeared Zappe and promising rookie Malik Cunningham had both lost the backup job without a clear option for the role on the active roster. Zappe wasn't particularly impressive during the preseason, especially in the team's final game, but the second-year quarterback does have more in-game experience than any of the other options for New England and will likely remain the backup moving forward.

  • Matt Corral QB | MIN

    Patriots' Matt Corral: Questionable for Week 1

    Corral (not injury-related) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official website reports.

    Corral has been in New England for only eight days after being claimed off waivers from the Panthers at initial roster cuts. Bailey Zappe will get the promotion from the practice squad to back up Mac Jones if the team deems Corral not ready.
