Burrow completed 28 of 37 passes for 282 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions while adding two rushes for 13 yards in the Bengals' 30-27 loss to the Steelers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Burrow was impressive throughout the majority of the afternoon, taking just one sack from Pittsburgh's aggressive defense and connecting with Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Mike Gesicki for his trio of scoring tosses. Burrow spread the ball around to nine different targets overall on an afternoon he entered already down Andrei Iosivas (IR, thumb) and during which he then lost promising rookie Colbie Young (knee). However, a would-be game-tying or game-winning drive was also short-circuited by the franchise signal-caller, as he lost the handle on the ball on a sack with under a minute remaining, snuffing out any chance of Cincinnati being able to at least force overtime. The highly untimely turnover aside, Burrow has looked comfortable with an offensive approach that has him under center more often than previous seasons, and he'll next take aim at the Jaguars in a Week 4 home matchup next Sunday.

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

For a third consecutive week, Wilson will be the Saints' emergency QB3, meaning he cannot play Sunday unless both Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Fagnano (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Dallas but will be available as the team's emergency quarterback if needed.

Fagnano was also the Ravens' emergency signal-caller for the first two games of the 2026 campaign. That trend will likely continue as long as Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley are available.

Beck (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the emergency third quarterback against the 49ers on Sunday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Beck will once again be the Cardinals' emergency QB3, meaning he won't be allowed to play Sunday unless both Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Bagent (concussion) cleared the NFL's concussion protocol Sunday and doesn't have a designation for Monday's game against the Eagles.

With Caleb Williams already ruled out for Week 3 due to a hamstring injury and facing a lengthier absence than that, Chicago now has a decision to make between Bagent and 38-year-old Case Keenum as to who will start Monday. Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports that the team has yet to make a call between the two, but Bagent's ability to clear the protocol for head injuries gives him a chance to be under center this week, even if Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reported on "Fox NFL Sunday" that he will be the backup.

Bagent, who is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Eagles, cleared concussion protocol Sunday and will serve as the Bears' No. 2 quarterback in Week 3, Jay Glazer reported on "Fox NFL Sunday."

With Caleb Williams sitting out Monday due to a Grade 2 right hamstring strain that's expected to keep him out for multiple weeks, Bagent had been the next man up to start at quarterback. However, after coming on in relief of the injured Williams in last Sunday's loss to the Vikings, Bagent entered concussion protocol following that game and was held out of the Bears' first two practices of Week 3. Bagent returned to the field Saturday as a limited participant before being cleared by an independent neurologist Sunday, but because he didn't have much involvement in the game plan this week, the Bears will turn to third-stringer Case Keenum to start Monday. Unless Keenum performs better than anticipated against a strong Eagles defense, Bagent will likely draw the start Week 4 versus the Jets.

Keenum is in line to start Monday's game against the Eagles, Jay Glazer reported on "Fox NFL Sunday."

Top quarterback Caleb Williams (hamstring) has already been ruled out for Monday's contest, and while Glazer relays that No. 2 option Tyson Bagent has cleared concussion protocol, the Bears plan to keep Bagent in the backup role this week due to his lack of involvement in practice leading up to the game. The stage is thus set for the 38-year-old Keenum to see his first NFL regular-season action since 2023, when he appeared in two games with the Texans. With Williams sidelined, the Bears could opt for a more run-heavy game plan under Keenum, who may not see enough passing volume to warrant consideration in fantasy lineups outside of leagues that have a Superflex spot or start two quarterbacks.

Cook (coach's decision) is inactive but will be the Dolphins' emergency third quarterback against the Chiefs on Sunday.

Cook will once again be the emergency QB3 behind Malik Willis and Kyle McCord. As such, Cook is prohibited from playing Sunday unless both Willis and McCord leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Morton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Jacksonville but will serve as the team's emergency quarterback if necessary.

Drake Maye and Tommy DeVito are both active, meaning Morton will be the Pats' QB3 in an emergency situation.

Uiagalelei (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the emergency third quarterback against the Bills on Sunday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

The Chargers signed Uiagalelei to the active roster Saturday to provide depth at quarterback due to the uncertainty around the status of Trey Lance (groin). Lance has been cleared to play Week 3 and will be Justin Herbert's backup. As the emergency QB3, Uiagalelei is prohibited from playing Sunday unless both Herbert and Lance were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.
