Taylor was forced out of Sunday's game against the Dolphins with a groin injury.

Prior to leaving the contest, Taylor completed one of his four pass attempts for six yards and an interception. With Justin Fields (knee) inactive Sunday, Brady Cook is in at QB for the Jets.

Murray (foot) might never play for the Cardinals again, with the team treating him like the Broncos did with Russell Wilson a couple of seasons ago, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday.

Many have speculated that this might be Murray's fate, given that he wasn't initially expected to have a lengthy absence and then ended up on IR. The Cardinals will have an interesting offseason discussion, to say the least. Will they use a potential top-10 pick on a quarterback, shop for another veteran, or even bring back Jacoby Brissett? Meanwhile, Brissett will remain the starter the rest of this season.

Rush (coach's decision) is inactive while serving as Baltimore's emergency third quarterback for Sunday's Week 14 battle against Pittsburgh, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

Rush typically serves in this role on game days, as he remains behind Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley in the Ravens' QB pecking order. Rush is eligible to enter Sunday's game only if both Jackson and Huntley need to exit due to injury, illness or ejection.

Howard (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Steelers' emergency third quarterback against the Ravens on Sunday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

For a second consecutive week, Howard will be the Steelers' emergency QB3, meaning he's restricted from playing Sunday unless both Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Milroe (coach's decision) is inactive and serving as Seattle's emergency third quarterback in Sunday's Week 14 matchup versus Atlanta, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Seattle has consistently deployed Milroe as the emergency QB on game days, though he can enter Sunday's contest only if both Sam Darnold and Drew Lock are forced to exit due to injury, illness or ejection.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings but will serve as the Commanders' emergency third quarterback.

Johnson has served as the Commanders' backup quarterback behind Marcus Mariota for the past three games, but the former will revert to the QB3 role due to the return of Jayden Daniels (left elbow). As the emergency QB3, Johnson will be permitted to see the field Sunday only in the event that both Daniels and Mariota were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Bazelak (coach's decision) is inactive and serving as Tampa Bay's emergency third QB against the Saints in Week 14, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Bazelak will be Tampa Bay's emergency third QB for the second straight week after signing to the active roster Nov. 29. Starting QB Baker Mayfield continues to manage a shoulder injury, so Bazelak provides the Bucs with some insurance in case both Mayfield and backup Teddy Bridgewater are forced to exit Sunday's clash due to injury, illness or ejection.

Wilson (illness) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Jets.

Wilson was added to the injury report Saturday due to an illness and was deemed questionable for Sunday. However, the veteran quarterback is feeling well enough to suit up against the team that drafted him second overall in the 2021 NFL Draft. Wilson will once again serve as Tua Tagovailoa's backup in Week 14.

Ewers (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets but will serve as the Dolphins' emergency third quarterback.

As the emergency QB3, Ewers is not allowed to see the field Sunday unless both Tua Tagovailoa and Zach Wilson were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Wolford (coach's decision) is inactive and will be Minnesota's emergency third quarterback against Washington on Sunday, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

Wolford was elevated to the active roster last weekend and worked as Minnesota's No. 2 QB with J.J. McCarthy (concussion) sidelined. The Vikings then signed Wolford to the active roster Saturday, but with McCarthy out of concussion protocol, the former is inactive against the Commanders. In order for Wolford to be eligible to take the field Sunday, both McCarthy and No. 2 QB Max Brosmer would need to exit the contest due to injury, illness or ejection.
