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.

Beck (coach's decision) is inactive and is designated as Arizona's emergency third quarterback for Sunday's matchup versus the Lions.

Beck remains the third option behind Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew. The rookie third-rounder will only enter the game if both Brissett and Minshew are unable to continue playing.

Minshew is active for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Minshew is the backup quarterback behind Jacoby Brissett for the Cardinals. Minshew has been consistently active for the team, while Carson Beck (coach's decision) has been inactive as the team's emergency third QB.

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.

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.

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.

Wilson (coach's decision) is inactivefor Sunday's game against the Vikings as the Saints' emergency third quarterback.

Wilson remains the No. 3 QB behind Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler. Wilson can be called upon to enter the contest only if both active quarterbacks are forced out of the game.

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.

Allar (coach's decision) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.

With Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph available, and Will Howard (coach's decision) serving as the emergency signal-caller, Allar will be inactive once again in Week 5.

Haener is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders but is listed as the Giants' emergency quarterback, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

The 27-year-old was elevated from the practice squad to serve as the top backup to Jameis Winston the past two weeks, but he'll fill the emergency role Sunday after officially signing to the active roster Wednesday. After being acquired from the Vikings in late September, J.J. McCarthy has been deemed ready to handle the No. 2 job for the Giants.
