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.

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.

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.

It happened. The Cincinnati Bengals dropped a major bomb in the first quarter of NFL Kickoff - QB Joe Burrow signed a monster extension. The five-year, $275 million deal will keep Burrow in Cincy until at least 2028.
The latest highest-paid player in the NFL is ready to kick off the season on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Burrow has been dealing with a calf strain that he suffered early in training camp but has logged full practices all week.

Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray continues to work his way back from a torn ACL. While it appears he will miss time at the beginning of the season, head coach Jonathan Gannon isn't giving a more specific timeline on when he'll be back.
Murray had ACL reconstruction surgery in January.
As the Cardinals face an "Are We Rebuilding?" year, Murray is under a lot of pressure to perform up to the contract he signed. It's just a matter of when he'll be returning. His replacement will likely be backup QB Colt McCoy, but rookie Clayton Tune has been turning heads in training camp this summer. more qb news:
The Detroit Lions signed free agent quarterback Teddy Bridgewater on Monday.
Bridgewater will be the backup for starter Jared Goff. The team also has QB Nate Sudfeld and rookie QB Hendon Hooker on the roster, though he's not expected to play in 2023 due to recovering from a torn ACL. The Lions were interested in Bridgewater for a backup role since the spring, even offering him a contract in April. Bridgewater decided to hold out for a starting role, and when that did not surface, Bridgewater went back to Detroit. Bridgewater is heading into his tenth season as an NFL player. His latest stint was with the Miami Dolphins, where he backed up Tua Tagovailoa. more qb news:
QB Derek Carr has only been with the New Orleans Saints for a few short months, but he's already having an impact on the guys in the locker room. Second-year receiver Chris Olave says he's building chemistry with Carr and on off the field.
We'll see if this chemistry translates to the regular season, where Olave is looking to build upon his rookie season, and Carr is looking to start a new chapter on a new squad.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is continuing to progress through his rehab process with an aim for a regular season return. Purdy is heading to Jacksonville to throw with QB Will Hewlett, who he worked with previously. The aim is to get his throwing mechanics on track for September.
He'll also work with orthopedic specialist Tom Gormely, who has worked with players rehabbing from the same injury.
If Purdy is healthy come the start of the regular season, he is in line to be the starter in San Francisco. If not, 2021 pick Trey Lance and Sam Darnold will be doing the handiwork in training camp. I'm also still not completely giving up on a Lance trade somewhere in the late summer or early fall should another team's starter go down. more qb news:
Buffalo Bills quarterbacks Josh Allen, Matt Barkley, and Kyle Allen attended Toronto Blue Jays practice on Monday, where they hit nine home runs between the three of them. The Blue Jays tweeted a video of Allen taking batting practice before the game against the New York Yankees.
"It was fun to get out there," Allen said. "I was telling some of the coaches I miss shagging balls [no idea what that means] and spitting seeds and just talking with the guys. That's some of the best memories I had in high school." more qb news:
The Houston Texans picked Ohio State quarterback CJ Stroud with the second overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft; we know this. What is puzzling is that the team fleeced everyone into thinking they weren't taking a quarterback - so much so that several mock drafts as early as two weeks before had the team going defense at No. 2. Texans owner Cal McNair insisted that he had no influence on the pick of Stroud. "Hannah and I don't make the picks," McNair said at the team's charity golf event.
"We have a great group of scouts led by Nick [Caserio] and James Lippert," McNair continued, "and they did a lot of work on the draft board, and then they followed that on draft day, and they moved up when they saw the value was there and moved back."
Houston, famously, picked Stroud at No. 2 and then traded up to take Alabama defensive end Will Anderson Jr. The Texans are certainly doing everything they can to improve their roster, which has been one of the weakest in the NFL for the past few seasons. I, personally, love the presence of new head coach DeMeco Ryans and think he can make a huge impact on trying to change the course of the franchise. It probably won't be this year, or even next, but they definitely have the ability to slowly get better with time. more Qb news:
