Week 10 QB Injury Report: Who’s In, Who’s Out, and Game-Time Decisions

We have the latest NFL injury updates on quarterbacks listed on the injury report heading into Week 10. Who’s in, who’s out, and what’s the status of those who are game-time decisions? Let’s take a look across the league.

Are you looking for other positions? Check out our final Week 10 injury report, which covers every skill player at quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end.

Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was a full participant all week while dealing with a hand with a left hand injury. He does not have an injury designation for Week 10.

It’s a recurring condition for Allen, who injured his left hand in the season-opener vs. the Arizona Cardinals and has been listed on the injury report every week since. However, he’s never been anything less than a full participant in practice this season, and this shouldn’t impact him at all on Sunday vs. the Indianapolis Colts.

Derek Carr, New Orleans Saints

Derek Carr is dealing with an illness this week. The good news is that the New Orleans Saints quarterback was listed as a full participant in practice all week and is good to go for Sunday’s game.

Carr from a three-game absence last week vs. the Carolina Panthers, only to come under fire after a middling game that led to a loss and the firing of head coach Dennis Allen. Former teammate Michael Thomas was particularly harsh in his criticism of Carr.

With top wideout Chris Olave likely out due to a scary concussion suffered last week, the upside of Carr and the Saints offense as a whole is extremely limited. Even in a favorable matchup at home vs. the Atlanta Falcons, Carr is a low-level starter in two-quarterback leagues.

Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles may receive a call from the NFL regarding their injury reporting procedures.

When asked about Jalen Hurts’ limited practice on Wednesday (which was attributed to rest), Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni mentioned that Hurts was battling an ankle injury.

Pressed about Hurts’ condition, Sirianni backtracked and said he thought he was being asked about “something else.”

However, ESPN’s Tim McManus reported Friday that Hurts has been dealing with a “mild ankle issue for a couple weeks.” Another source told ESPN that the Eagles’ QB has “lower leg soreness,” indicating that Philadelphia prevented Hurts from “dropping and planting” during the club’s individual sessions on Wednesday.

Hurts returned to a full practice on Thursday and doesn’t appear to be in any danger of missing Week 10. Still, his ankle will be worth monitoring in the weeks ahead.

Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars

Trevor Lawrence is dealing with a left shoulder injury. Despite logging a limited practice on Wednesday and Thursday, Lawrence is reportedly unlikely to play vs. the Minnesota Vikings while he weighs his options.

While Lawrence is officially listed as questionable for Week 10, head coach Doug Pederson said his starting quarterback is trending toward sitting on Sunday.

Rapoport also noted that surgery is still on the table for Lawrence, though that option is not imminent.

Mac Jones is Jacksonville’s QB2 and will start against Minnesota if Lawrence can’t play. Pro Football Network ranks Jones as the NFL’s 11th-best backup quarterback. The Jaguars signed QB C.J. Beathard off the Dolphins’ practice squad on Monday as extra insurance.

Will Levis, Tennessee Titans

Will Levis is ready to return to the Tennessee Titans’ starting lineup in Week 10. continues to be hindered by the right shoulder injury he suffered in Week 4. Head coach Brian Callahan announced Friday that Levis will start for the Titans on Sunday.

Levis initially injured his right shoulder in Week 4. He recovered enough during the club’s Week 5 bye to start in Week 6. However, Levis aggravated his injury in that game and hasn’t played since.

“He looks ready to go,” Callahan said Friday.

Levis is returning in a difficult spot against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Titans are a 7.5-point road favorite, while the Bolts’ defense ranks No. 3 in EPA per pass.

Levis was the NFL’s least efficient quarterback from Weeks 1 though 6, averaging -0.31 EPA per play. Rudolph posted -0.10 EPA per play from Weeks 7-9, ranking 26th among 32 qualifying passers.

Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs

For a moment, it looked like the entire NFL season had turned on its head when Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes went down on a non-contact play.

Mahomes fell to the turf on a fourth-quarter touchdown pass to Samaje Perine. While he was very slow to get off the field, it turned out to be a minor re-aggravation of a pre-existing left ankle sprain he suffered in Week 8 versus the Raiders.

Mahomes ended up toughing out the rest of the team’s Week 9 overtime win over the Buccaneers, maintaining the team’s unbeaten start. After the game, Mahomes said he expected some swelling but that the ankle started feeling better once he began walking.

The Chiefs have already had their bye, so Mahomes won’t have extended time to rest until the Wild Card round if Kansas City clinches the top seed. They’ll host the Broncos in Week 10.

On Wednesday, Mahomes said his ankle was sore but noted he could still move. The two-time MVP practiced in full all week and doesn’t have an injury designation for Sunday.

Baker Mayfield, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Baker Mayfield showed up on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Week 10 injury report with a toe injury. Mayfield did not practice on either Wednesday or Thursday, which would seemingly raise alarm about his availability for Sunday vs. the San Francisco 49ers.

The good news is that offensive coordinator Liam Coen spoke on Thursday and said that Mayfield is improving and should be fine for the game.

Mayfield practiced on Friday and was officially removed from Tampa Bay’s injury report. He’s good to go for Week 10.

Mayfield leads the league with 23 passing touchdowns and has shined for a Bucs offense that has been pass-heavy, even without top wideouts Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. If he can’t go for whatever reason, fourth-year pro Kyle Trask is the backup and would make his first career start.

Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys

Dak Prescott entered the medical tent along the Dallas Cowboys’ sideline at the start of the fourth quarter. Dallas subsequently announced that he was questionable to return with a hamstring injury, but Prescott never re-entered Sunday’s game.

Prescott underwent an MRI on his hamstring on Monday, and the news was not positive. The Cowboys quarterback could avoid surgery but will be placed on injured reserve this weekend, which will keep him out until at least Week 14.

An IR stint will cost Prescott at least four weeks. However, Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones said Friday at Prescott is expected to be sidelined for six weeks or more. Depending on how Dallas fares in his absence, Dak might not play again this season.

After Sunday’s game, Prescott said he thought he hurt his hamstring on a third-quarter scramble attempt.

“Yeah, we gotta get it looked at,” Prescott said. “Felt it on the little scramble to the left. Felt it, didn’t think much. Then on the next play, throwing that the stop route to the field, pulled something, I felt something I never felt. It was tough to walk on it at that point.”

Cooper Rush, who went 4-1 after relieving Prescott as the Cowboys’ starter in 2022, will be under center moving forward. Pro Football Network ranks Rush as the NFL’s 15th-best backup quarterback.

Aaron Rodgers, New York Jets

The body tends to heal a little slower at age 40, and Aaron Rodgers is no exception. The New York Jets quarterback does not appear to be in danger of missing any time, but he was listed on the team’s Week 10 injury report with both knee and hamstring injuries.

The good news is that he was a full participant all week and doesn’t have an injury designation for Sunday. Rodgers was listed with the same two injuries last week and was actually limited for the first practice, so his ability to practice in full every day this week suggests progress.
