Howell (coach's decision) is inactive but serving as the Eagles' emergency third quarterback against the Cowboys on Sunday.

Howell is not permitted to play Sunday unless both Jalen Hurts and Tanner McKee leave the game due to injury, illness or suspension. Howell has yet to play in a regular-season game this year.

O'Connell is the Raiders' inactive emergency third QB for Sunday's game against the Browns.

The Raiders activated O'Connell -- who had fractured his right wrist in August -- from injured reserve Wednesday. Now that he's available, however, O'Connell is currently behind both Geno Smith and Kenny Pickett in the Raiders' signal-caller pecking order.

Watson (Achilles) accompanied the Browns to Las Vegas for Sunday's game against the Raiders, marking the first time he's joined the team on the road this season, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Watson will be on the sideline to serve as a resource to rookie Shedeur Sanders, who will be making his first NFL start Sunday. The 30-year-old's presence in Las Vegas is also a sign that he's making progress in his recovery from the right Achilles tendon he re-ruptured back in January, requiring a second surgery in less than three months. The Browns haven't offered up any specifics regarding where Watson stands in his rehab program, but he's posted multiple videos on social media in recent weeks that appear to show him dropping back on snaps and throwing without being compromised by the Achilles injury. Cleveland could open Watson's 21-day practice window at any time, though the organization may prefer to wait until OTAs in the spring to clear the veteran signal-caller for on-field work. Watson will be entering the final season of a five-year, $230 million fully guaranteed contract in 2026.

Rush (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.

This will be the fourth week in a row that Rush has served in the emergency role, which means he can't enter the game unless Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley exit due to injury, illness or ejection. Rush started two games earlier in the season with Jackson out due to injury, but he only led the offense to 13 points across both contests, leading to Huntley making the start in the last game that Jackson missed.

Milroe (coach's decision) is inactive and will serve as the Seahawks' emergency third quarterback against the Titans on Sunday.

As has been the case for the majority of the regular season, Drew Lock will serve as the Seahawks' backup quarterback behind Sam Darnold. As the emergency QB3, Milroe is not allowed to play Sunday unless both Darnold and Lock leave due to injury, illness or ejection.

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

DeVito is the reserve quarterback behind Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs, and is restricted from playing Sunday unless both are removed from the game due to injury, illness or ejection. DeVito has yet to appear in a single regular-season game in 2025.

Howard is active for Sunday's game against the Bears, where he'll serve as the backup quarterback behind Mason Rudolph, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Howard opened the season on injured reserve due to a fractured right hand, and after being activated off IR on Nov. 12, he served as the Steelers' emergency third quarterback in Week 11 against the Bengals. However, with Aaron Rodgers (wrist) ruled out for Sunday's clash against Chicago, Howard will be on the active roster for the first time this season and will be available to play in case Rudolph is removed from the game. During his final collegiate season at Ohio State, Howard completed 73.0 percent of his passes for 4,010 yards, 35 touchdowns and 10 interceptions across 16 games.

Keenum (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

Keenum has not logged a snap this season, and his closest opportunity for action has been as an emergency third quarterback. With Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent healthy, Keenum will continue to be inactive for the foreseeable future.

Rodgers (wrist) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

After suffering a non-displaced fracture to his left (non-throwing) wrist during last week's win over the Bengals, Rodgers made a spirited bid to attempt to play Sunday, but he ultimately didn't heal enough for the Steelers to feel comfortable having him suit up in Chicago. With Rodgers set to miss his first game of the season, Mason Rudolph will draw the start at quarterback, while rookie Will Howard serves as his backup. Rodgers won't need surgery to address his injury, and while the early expectation is that he'll be able to return to action Week 13 against the Bills, he'll likely need to wear a protective brace on the wrist.

Rudolph is slated to start at quarterback in Sunday's game against the Bears, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

He'll be filling in for Aaron Rodgers, who had been listed as questionable but wasn't able to make enough progress in his recovery from a non-displaced left wrist fracture to play through the injury Sunday. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Rodgers should be able to play next weekend against the Bills, but Rudolph will get the starting nod in Week 12, which makes him a pivot option for fantasy managers who would normally utilize Rodgers in lineups.
