Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson remains as a DNP as of Wednesday after working through a shoulder injury. Watson missed Week 4's matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, rested during the team's Week 5 bye, and has yet to practice as the team prepares for Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers.
It's early in the practice week, so Watson still has a chance to practice before gametime. In the event that he cannot go, backup PJ Walker will start in his place.

Quarterback Mac Jones is expected to start for the New England Patriots in Week 6, after being benched in back-to-back weeks. While most chalked Jones' weak showing in 2022 as a product of the offensive coordinator, Jones is continuing 2023 with poor performances. Backup QB Bailey Zappe has entered the game in place of Jones for the past two weeks.
Jones could be on the way out if he continues to under-perform. Part of the reason the Pats don't want to completely shun Jones this week is because (and this is my opinion) he will face his former offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. more qb news:
Indianapolis Colts rookie QB Anthony Richardson will miss significant time with a shoulder injury. Richardson is said to have suffered a Grade 3 AC joint sprain - an injury that could knock him out for up to an entire month. The timetable for this injury will depend on how the shoulder responds, and whether Richardson will end up on injured reserve.
Head coach Shane Steichen confirmed backup Gardner Minshew will at least start in Week 6.

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones was benched in Sunday's game (yes, again) and was replaced by backup Bailey Zappe. The Pats were trailing the New Orleans Saints 31-0. This also happened last week against the Dallas Cowboys (they were losing 38-3 before Zappe replaced Jones). The Patriots have gone two straight games without a touchdown. Head coach Bill Belichick isn't giving us any indication that the team is going to move on from Jones, pointing to the score as the reason why Jones was riding the bench. "Yeah, there were a lot of problems, it certainly wasn't all him," Belichick said post-game. If New England does choose to stick with Jones, you'd have to think his leash is getting shorter. Zappe was given extra practice reps during Week 5's practice sessions, and you kinda have to think that happens again in Week 6. more qb news:
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff started Thursday Night off with an interception - right to Green Bay Packers safety Rudy Ford. Goff followed that up by going 3-for-3 on the next possession, capping it off with a touchdown to wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown.
Goff finished the night completing 19-of-28 passes for 210 yards, one touchdown and an interception. But he mostly got to sit back and watch the Lions' rushing attack take complete control of the Packers' defense.

Some reinforcements are on the way. The New York Jets visited with and later signed veteran backup quarterback Trevor Siemian on Tuesday, after a lackluster performance by Zach Wilson this weekend.
Siemian previously played with the Jets in 2019, starting one game. Head coach Robert Saleh still claims Wilson is their starting QB moving forward, but the leash is getting shorter.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow missed most of the preseason with a lingering calf injury, started the season 0-2, re-aggravated the injury in Week Two, risked not being ready for Week Three, and now comes up with a win for Monday Night Football. Now you're all caught up.
Burrow's limited mobility was an issue in Monday's game, but he managed - completing 26-of-49 passes for 259 yards and one interception. Not a great stat line, but he was able to rely on star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase to pick up the slack.
As of right now (Tuesday morning), Burrow suffered no setbacks on his calf Monday night. I'd expect him to be limited in practice this week as he manages the injury, but he's made it clear he intends to play through this injury.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow missed most of training camp with a calf injury and reportedly re-injured the same calf during the fourth quarter of their loss to the Baltimore Ravens Sunday. Burrow had already shown extreme signs of rust after not playing in camp or in the preseason - now he has a lingering injury to deal with. Head coach Zac Taylor was non-committal on the status of Burrow - who is set to play the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night in Week Three.
Taylor said Burrow is dealing with soreness, but did not appear to have a limp or be walking in a walking boot. Which is a good sign, yes? Burrow is as tough as they come, but the obvious aspect with this situation would be re-injury (or worsening of said injury). If they have to sacrifice one game in order for Burrow to be healthy the remainder of the season, they should do it.
Their backup QB is Jake Browning. Just throwing that out there. You'll probably have to Google him. more qb news:
Aaron Rodgers' first season with the New York Jets ended in four plays. An MRI confirmed on Tuesday that Rodgers completely tore his Achilles tendon, knocking him out for the season.
This will leave Zach Wilson as the starting quarterback for the remainder of the year. It also leaves the Green Bay Packers getting a 2024 second-round pick (instead of the first-rounder they would have received had Rodgers played 65 percent or more snaps in 2023).
The Jets officially placed Rodgers on injured reserve on Tuesday. more Qb news:
When I said I thought the offseason New York Jets hype train was going to come to a halting stop - I didn't mean it like this. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers went down with what appeared to be a leg injury in the team's first possession. Rodgers was led to the medical tent, where he was later carted to the locker room to have X-rays. He was given a questionable designation to return to game action before the team ruled him out in the second quarter. X-rays were negative. The original fear is that Rodgers has an Achilles injury.
Saleh also stated postgame QB Zach Wilson will be "the guy" moving forward. I'd still expect them to bring in another veteran QB. Joe Flacco anyone?
