Tommy DeVito QB | NE
Patriots' Tommy DeVito: Emergency QB3 for Week 10
DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Patriots' emergency third quarterback against the Buccaneers on Sunday.
DeVito will not be permitted to see the field Sunday unless both Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs are removed from the contest due to injury, illness or ejection. DeVito has not appeared in a single regular-season game in 2025.

Cooper Rush QB | BAL
Ravens' Cooper Rush: Emergency QB Week 10
Rush (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings but will serve as the Ravens' emergency third quarterback.
Lamar Jackson is healthy for a second consecutive week after missing three straight games. That leaves Rush as the emergency QB, meaning he can only enter Sunday's contest if Jackson and Tyler Huntley are removed due to injury, illness or ejection.

Kyler Murray QB | ARI
Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Future in Arizona in limbo
Murray, who was placed on injured reserve Wednesday due to a mid-foot sprain, is not expected to start again if he returns this season, "absent injury to Jacoby Brissett," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
While the Cardinals haven't explicitly indicated Brissett will remain their starting quarterback for the remainder of the season, head coach Jonathan Gannon implied Tuesday that Brissett would have started Week 10 in Seattle even if Murray was fully healthy. The Cardinals then deactivated Murray a day later, and though he'll be eligible to return from IR beginning in Week 14, he looks like he could be ticketed for backup duties so long as Brissett stays healthy and continues to direct a productive offense. With that in mind, Rapoport suggests Murray may have played his last game with Arizona, potentially making the 28-year-old signal-caller a trade or cut candidate during the upcoming offseason. Murray is already fully guaranteed $36.8 million for 2026, and he'll be guaranteed an additional $19.5 million in base salary for 2027 if he remains on the roster through March 16.

Jayden Daniels QB | WAS
Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Set for checkup after bye
The Commanders plan to re-evaluate Daniels (elbow) after their Week 12 bye before deciding on his availability for the remainder of the season, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Washington elected not to place Daniels on injured reserve after he received positive news from medical evaluations earlier this week, when he was told he wouldn't need surgery to address the dislocation to his non-throwing elbow that he sustained in this past Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. However, Daniels was still ruled out for this Sunday's game against the Lions and will also remain out for the Commanders' Week 11 matchup with the Dolphins in Madrid, giving Marcus Mariota at least a two-game run as the team's starting quarterback. Pelissero notes that even if Daniels' left elbow heals up well over the next few weeks, the Commanders' positioning in the NFC standings could be a major factor in whether the second-year quarterback is cleared to play at any point in the final quarter of the season. Entering Week 10, the Commanders sit at 3-6 on the season, and losses to the Lions and/or Dolphins over the next two games could effectively remove the team from playoff contention.

Will Howard QB | PIT
Steelers' Will Howard: Remaining on injured reserve
The Steelers did not activate Howard (hand) from injured reserve, and he has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, per the NFL's transaction report.
Howard continues to recover from a fractured right hand that he sustained during training camp in early August. His 21-day practice window opened Oct. 22, and if he's not activated from IR before the end of that time frame, he would be forced to miss the rest of the 2025 season. Howard's next opportunity to be activated from IR is ahead of the Steelers' Week 11 clash against the Bengals on Sunday, Nov. 16.

Mike White QB | CAR
Mike White: Let go by Panthers
White was waived by Carolina on Saturday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
White appeared only as an inactive emergency third quarterback for the Panthers in their Week 9 win over the Packers. With neither Bryce Young nor Andy Dalton appearing on the Week 10 injury report, it appears White's services are no longer needed. The quarterback's spot on the active roster has been taken by undrafted rookie defensive tackle Jared Harrison-Hunte. White will now be placed on waivers, and if he goes unclaimed will become a free agent.

Malik Willis QB | GB
Packers' Malik Willis: Good to go Week 10
Willis (calf) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Eagles, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
A calf injury limited Willis' practice participation Friday, but the fourth-year quarterback was able to shed an injury tag for Week 10 after logging a full practice Saturday. He has yet to appear in a regular-season game and will continue to serve as Jordan Love's backup.

Justin Fields QB | NYJ
Jets' Justin Fields: Remaining starter for Week 10
The Jets plan to have Fields start at quarterback in Sunday's game against the Browns, Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com reports.
Coming out of a Week 9 bye, head coach Aaron Glenn didn't commit to Fields nor Tyrod Taylor as the team's starter during Week 10 prep, but the Jets will reportedly stick with Fields under center while Taylor handles a backup role. While Taylor was inactive in Week 8 due to a knee injury, Fields retained the starting job and led the Jets to their first win of the season. He completed 21 of 32 passes for 244 yards and one touchdown while turning 11 carries into 31 yards in a 39-38 come-from-behind win over the Bengals.

Malik Willis QB | GB
Packers' Malik Willis: Dealing with calf issue
Willis (calf) was a limited participant at practice Friday.
Willis practiced in full Thursday, and it's not clear when he picked up the calf injury. In any case, he'll likely have to log another full practice Saturday to avoid carrying an injury designation when Green Bay releases its last practice report of the week.
