Jalen Milroe QB | SEA
Seahawks' Jalen Milroe: Emergency QB once again
Milroe (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Seahawks' emergency third quarterback against the 49ers on Sunday.
Milroe remains the third QB behind Sam Darnold and Drew Lock. The 2025 second-rounder will only be able to enter Sunday's contest if both Darnold and Lock cannot return to the game.

Jalen Hurts QB | PHI
Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Struggles again in Week 5 loss
Hurts completed 21 of 40 passes for 220 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Jaguars. He added two rushing yards on two carries and lost one of two fumbles.
It was another sluggish effort from the Eagles' offense, and the only play longer than 19 yards that they managed on the day was a 62-yard TD from Hurts to Darius Cooper in the second quarter. Even so, the QB appeared to engineer a game-winning field goal drive inside the final two minutes of the fourth quarter, only for Jake Elliott to give Ameer Abdullah a returnable kickoff with eight seconds left on the clock which he took back to the Philly 39-yard line -- setting the stage for a game-winning Cam Little field goal. Hurts will take an 8:3 TD:INT and rough 57.8 percent completion rate through five games into a Week 6 meeting with the Panthers.

Kurtis Rourke QB | SF
49ers' Kurtis Rourke: Healthy scratch for Week 5
Rourke (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Rourke is inactive but will not be the emergency third quarterback for the 49ers. The team seems content with Brock Purdy and Mac Jones and does not appear to need the "break-glass" button that the 49ers themselves voted to add during the 2023 offseason.

Carson Beck QB | ARI
Cardinals' Carson Beck: Emergency QB for Week 5
Beck (coach's decision) is inactive and is designated as Arizona's emergency third quarterback for Sunday's matchup versus the Lions.

Sam Ehlinger QB | DEN
Broncos' Sam Ehlinger: Emergency QB for Week 5
Ehlinger (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the emergency third quarterback in Sunday's game against the Chargers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Ehlinger continues to fulfill the role of an additional depth option behind Bo Nix and Jarrett Stidham. Ehlinger will only enter the game if both Nix and Stidham are forced out of the contest.

Trevor Lawrence QB | JAC
Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Tosses two TDs in Week 5 win
Lawrence completed 24 of 39 passes for 331 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Eagles. He added 25 rushing yards on three carries and lost one of two fumbles.
Both TDs went to Parker Washington, a 51-yard catch-and-run in the first quarter and then a 27-yard score in the fourth on a spectacular one-handed grab by the wideout. It was the first time this season Lawrence had committed a fumble or committed multiple turnovers in a game, but he compensated with a season high in passing yards. Lawrence will take a 10:3 TD:INT through five contests into a Week 6 clash with the Texans.

Max Brosmer QB | MIN
Vikings' Max Brosmer: Acts as emergency QB3 in Week 5
Brosmer (coach's decision) is listed as inactive but will serve as the Vikings' third quarterback for Sunday's games versus the Saints, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.
Brosmer joined the Vikings' 53-man roster in early October after the team traded away J.J. McCarthy. The 25-year-old is not available to play against the Saints unless both Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz are taken out of the game due to an injury, illness, or ejection.

Daniel Jones QB | IND
Colts' Daniel Jones: Getting Allen back in Week 5
Jones will welcome back Keenan Allen (groin) to his wide-receiver corps in Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Steelers, as the latter is active for the contest.
Jones operated without Allen during a Week 4 win over the Commanders in London, and the veteran quarterback completed just 19 of 34 passes for 143 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while adding a rushing touchdown on four carries. Having the trusted veteran receiver, with whom Jones connected on six occasions for 63 yards and a touchdown the last time Allen was on the field in Week 3 against the Texans, should help prop up the signal-caller's numbers in a matchup versus a Steelers defense that's conceded a 68.4 percent completion rate through four games.
