Backup QBs & QB Injury Watch for Week 3


Here are the key quarterback situations going into the NFL Week 3, especially where backups are expected to start:

  • Cincinnati Bengals: Joe Burrow is out with turf toe surgery and will miss several months. Jake Browning will be the starter for the Bengals in Week 3.

  • Minnesota Vikings: J.J. McCarthy has a high ankle sprain and is expected to miss 2–4 weeks. Carson Wentz is in line to start for the Vikings.

  • New York Jets: Justin Fields is in concussion protocol, making Tyrod Taylor the veteran backup who will start as Fields has been ruled out.

  • San Francisco 49ers: Brock Purdy is dealing with lingering toe and left shoulder injuries. If he remains unavailable, Mac Jones is the likely fill-in once again after getting the win for his team last week.

  • Washington Commanders: Jayden Daniels is day-to-day with a knee sprain. If he can’t go, Marcus Mariota is expected to step in.
