  • Sam Hartman QB | WAS

    Commanders' Sam Hartman: Emergency QB in Week 4

    Hartman (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 4 game against the Cardinals but will serve as the emergency quarterback for the contest.

    Hartman will continue in the same role he's held through the first three games of the regular season, and he'll only be able to enter Sunday's game if both Jayden Daniels and Jeff Driskel become unavailable due to injury or an ejection.

  • Colts' Anthony Richardson: Won't return Sunday

    Richardson (hip) won't return to Sunday's game against the Steelers.

    Richardson's Week 4 thus concludes with him having completed three of his four passing attempts for 71 yards, while having carried three times for 24 yards. Joe Flacco has taken over at QB for the Colts, with Richardson's status now worth monitoring ahead of next weekend's game against the Jaguars.

  • Colts' Anthony Richardson: Exits Sunday's game

    Richardson exited Sunday's game against the Steelers due to a hip injury.

    Prior to his exit, Richardson completed three of his four passing attempts for 71 yards and carried three times for 24 yards. In his absence, Joe Flacco is in at QB for the Colts.

  • Caleb Williams QB | CHI

    Bears' Caleb Williams: Expresses frustration

    Williams, Cole Kmet and Gerald Everett met with Bears offensive coordinator Shane Waldron to express their frustration with the play-calling, Fox's Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday.

    It's been frustrating to say the least for the Bears' offense. They can't run the ball, and Williams has been under pressure constantly.

  • Tanner McKee QB | PHI

    Eagles' Tanner McKee: Emergency QB again Sunday

    McKee (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Buccaneers but designated as the emergency quarterback.

    McKee will continue to fill his customary No. 3 emergency quarterback role and can only enter the game if both Jalen Hurts and Kenny Pickett are either ejected or injured and unable to return to the contest.

  • Saints' Spencer Rattler: Working as emergency QB again

    Rattler (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Falcons, but he'll still suit up as the Saints' emergency third quarterback.

    Rattler will again be officially inactive behind Derek Carr and No. 2 Jake Haener, but he'll be available to take the field in the event that both quarterbacks in front of him suffer injuries. The rookie fifth-round pick is still looking for a chance to make his regular-season debut.

  • Sam Ehlinger QB | DEN

    Colts' Sam Ehlinger: Emergency third QB again

    Ehlinger (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

    Ehlinger will once again serve as the Colts' emergency third quarterback. He's technically inactive but can enter the game if Anthony Richardson and Joe Flacco can't play due to injury.

  • Russell Wilson QB | NYG

    Steelers' Russell Wilson: Emergency No. 3 QB again

    Wilson (calf) is inactive as the Steelers' emergency No. 3 quarterback for Sunday's game against the Colts.

    After another week of limited at practices, Wilson will remain the team's emergency No. 3 quarterback for the fourth straight contest. As a result, Justin Fields is slated to get another start at QB for the 3-0 Steelers, with Kyle Allen available in a backup capacity.

  • Jordan Love QB | GB

    Packers' Jordan Love: Active, starting Sunday

    Love (knee) is listed as active and will start Sunday against the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    Love is a bit more than three weeks removed from sustaining a Grade 1-to-2 MCL sprain in his left knee in the waning moments of a Week 1 loss to the Eagles in Brazil. He's slowly but surely ramped up his activity level the last two weeks, yet he didn't manage more than a limited practice in advance of Sunday's game. Still, Love has made enough progress in his recovery to take over direction of the Packers offense, while fill-in starter Malik Willis will return to a backup role. According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Love is expected to wear a brace of the outside of the knee in question, which may impact his mobility somewhat.

  • Dolphins' Skylar Thompson: Could be emergency third QB

    Thompson relayed Saturday that he remains in discomfort due to the rib/chest injury he sustained during Week 3 action, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    "It's been pretty painful," Thompson said Saturday. "Trying to maneuver through it. Not a lot you can do for it. That's what's tough. Doing everything I can to promote the process and heal up. Definitely been discomforting for sure." As Monday night's game against the Titans approaches, Thompson is officially listed as questionable, but the Dolphins have already announced that Tyler Huntley will draw the start, with Tim Boyle slated to back him up. Per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN, Thompson might be available as the team's emergency quarterback, with added clarity on that front set to arrive once Miami's inactives are posted ahead of Monday's 7:30 ET kickoff.
