Rush (coach's decision) is listed as inactive but will serve as the Falcons' emergency third quarterback for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Rush sits as the emergency third option behind Michael Penix and Tua Tagovailoa. Rush will only enter the game if both Penix and Tagovailoa are unable to play.

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

Morton remains the third option at quarterback behind starter Drake Maye and backup Tommy DeVito. The seventh-round rookie will only enter Sunday's contest if both Maye and DeVito cannot return to the game.

Keenum (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Bears' emergency third quarterback against the Falcons on Sunday.

With Caleb Williams (hamstring) officially cleared to return from a three-game absence, head coach Ben Johnson has opted to go with Tyson Bagent as the Bears' backup. As the emergency QB3, Keenum is now allowed to play against Atlanta on Sunday unless both Willams and Bagent leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Allar (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

With Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph as the active quarterbacks and Will Howard inactive as the emergency third option, there is no current place for the third-round rookie in the quarterback room. Allar will likely remain inactive unless one of the other three quarterbacks gets injured.

Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Saints' emergency third quarterback against the Giants on Sunday.

As the emergency third quarterback, Wilson is now allowed to play Sunday unless both Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Howard (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, though he is listed as the team's emergency quarterback.

Howard remains in the emergency role, destined only to enter the game if starter Aaron Rodgers and backup Mason Rudolph both must exit the contest.

Leonard (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Colts' emergency third quarterback against the Titans on Sunday.

Leonard will once again serve as the emergency QB3, meaning that he is restricted from playing Sunday unless both Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Williams (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

It was reported Saturday that Williams was on track to both suit up and start Sunday in Week 6, and it is now official that he will be in uniform. While the latter has not officially been confirmed, Case Keenum was designated as Chicago's third quarterback Sunday and Tyson Bagent is the only other signal-caller on the roster, so all signs point to Williams opening the contest under center.

Milton (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Eagles' emergency third quarterback against the Panthers on Sunday.

The Eagles signed Milton off the practice squad to the active roster Friday following the news that Jalen Hurts would be out indefinitely due to a superficial blood clot in his calf, with the latter being placed on injured reserve Saturday. The Eagles will start Tanner McKee on Sunday while rookie fifth-rounder Cole Payton as the backup. As the emergency QB3, Milton is prohibited from playing against Carolina unless both McKee and Payton leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Shough has been playing with two broken bones in his left hand, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Shough has been listed with a left hand injury the past two weeks, but its extent wasn't known until Schefter's report Sunday morning. He had his least productive performance of the season last Sunday versus the Vikings' ferocious defense, when he completed 16 of 25 passes for just 96 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions. Shough will aim to get back on track in Week 6 against a banged-up Giants defensive unit.
