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.

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

Because he's serving as the emergency QB3, the rookie sixth-rounder is prohibited from taking the field Sunday unless both starter Deshaun Watson and backup Shedeur Sanders were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

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

As the emergency third quarterback, Howard is not allowed to play Sunday unless both Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph were to be removed from the game due to injury, illness or ejection. Rookie third-round quarterback Drew Allar (coach's decision) will be a healthy scratch for a third consecutive week.

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

King will once again operate as the QB3 behind Kenny Pickett and starter Bryce Young. Since he's serving in an emergency role, King is prohibited from playing Sunday unless both Young and Pickett were removed from the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Lance (groin) is active Week 3 against the Bills.

It wasn't a very active practice week for Lance, who managed just a sole limited session on Friday due to his groin injury. It will ultimately be enough for Lance to suit up, however, relegating DJ Uiagalelei to the emergency QB3 role.

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

For a third consecutive week, Leonard will operate as the emergency QB3 behind starter Daniel Jones and backup Anthony Richardson. That prohibits Leonard from playing Sunday unless both Jones and Richardson were to be removed from the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Milroe (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Washington.

Sam Darnold (glute) is available for Sunday's meeting with the Commanders, meaning Drew Lock will move back to the No. 2 spot on the depth chart. Despite being inactive for Week 3, Milroe's services can still be utilized in an emergency situation.

Daniels (elbow) is expected to return to action for the Commanders in "three weeks or sooner," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn had already noted Friday that Daniels wasn't in consideration for a stint on injured reserve, but Rapoport's report offers a clearer timeline for the third-year quarterback's return to the lineup. Marcus Mariota will start Sunday's game against the Seahawks and will most likely continue to direct the Commanders offense in Week 4 versus the Colts, but Daniels could be a realistic candidate to rejoin the lineup thereafter. Rapoport notes that whenever he returns, Daniels will wear a brace to protect the dislocated elbow on his left (non-throwing) arm.
