Heading into Week 8, the NFL was already dealing with a slew of quarterback injuries.
Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill was out due to an ankle injury, opening the door for rookie Will Levis and second-year Malik Willis to get time. Daniel Jones of the Giants was set to miss his game against the Jets, with Tyrod Taylor taking over the starting job for him. The Browns were set to run with P.J. Walker under center, as Deshaun Watson's lingering shoulder injury continued to hold him out of action.
With so many quarterbacks already out, Sunday’s action added several more to the total. Adam Schefter’s social media account read like a rolling hospital roster as the afternoon games continued and teams had to go deeper into their QB depth charts.
