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.

The New England Patriots have made some interesting quarterback moves over the past few days - cutting Bailey Zappe and Malik Cunningham. Here's another - they claimed QB Matt Corral off waivers after he was cut by the Carolina Panthers.
The Panthers selected Corral in the 2022 draft before he was sidelined the entirety of the season with a Lisfranc injury. It'll be interesting to see how he fits in with the other QBs on the practice squad - and how much, if any, playing time he sees behind Mac Jones.

As NFL teams got down to their final 53-man rosters on Tuesday, the New England Patriots cut everyone not named Mac Jones basically. Backup QBs Bailey Zappe (a fan-favorite) and Malik Cunningham (after a strong preseason) were both waived by the team.
Zappe, a fourth-rounder in 2022, appeared in two games as a rookie - and played well enough for fans to scream incessantly that they wanted him to start over Jones. Cunningham, who was an undrafted free agent out of Louisville in 2023, had a strong preseason. Fans and media weren't the only ones a little shocked by the moves. Patriots special-teamer Matthew Slater said the news that Zappe was being cut was a shock to the whole locker room.
It's possible that one, or both will end up on someone else's roster - or someone's practice squad.

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis left practice on Thursday and did not return. Levis is dealing with a lower body injury, and his status for this weekend's preseason game is up in the air.
Malik Willis is already expected to start preseason Week Two. Head coach Mike Vrabel said they will see where he's at come Saturday.

The New York Jets offensive line has been up-and-down throughout training camp, and new quarterback Aaron Rodgers is ready to see some consistency. At 39, the less hits Rodgers takes week-to-week, the better.
The Jets have been practicing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week, and had some trouble all day Wednesday, per reports.
It's still August, so it's not time to panic yet, but if this issue isn't fixed come September, we could see an even more angrier Rodgers if he finds himself in the turf frequently. more qb news:
The Indianapolis Colts announced rookie QB Anthony Richardson will officially be the starting quarterback in Week One.
Richardson, who was drafted by the Colts at No. 4 in this past year's draft, has seen the first-team offense for most of training camp despite various reports that he may need to take the "sit and learn" approach his first year in the league. On a team that has started a different QB every season for what seems like forever, the plan is that Richardson is the starter for many years to come.
Backup quarterback Gardner Minshew thinks Richardson is fully equipped for the job, and isn't disappointed that he won't be the team's starter come September. Minshew knew when he signed with Indianapolis this offseason that there was a good chance the rookie could win the job.

We all know the story by now of how Aaron Rodgers took a massive pay cut to play with the New York Jets. But, apparently, he reiterated (once again) that he plans to be there for longer than just 2023.
As someone who has thought that Rodgers would retire after the past two seasons, I'd be shocked if he played beyond 2023. It's better to bow out too soon than too late.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers tweaked his calf during last week's OTA workouts, and he'll remain limited for a little bit longer, head coach Robert Saleh said. The hope is that he's back to full strength next week.
