Week 3 Injury Report: Three Young Quarterbacks Down

Three starting quarterbacks got hurt within a few days of each other. One is done for the regular season. The other two are still on the Week 3 injury report as doubtful, and the chart has not moved them off QB1.

Jaxson Dart is out for the season

Jaxson Dart will have season-ending knee surgery after two defenders hit him on New York's first drive Monday night. John Harbaugh said he will miss the rest of the regular season. A postseason return is still on the table if the Giants get that far. Jameis Winston starts Week 3 against Tennessee and is the quarterback the rest of the way. Monday's first read had the MRI still out. Surgery is the update.

Tuesday's injury report still lists him doubtful with an MCL sprain. That report is behind the surgery news. Thursday's depth chart already has Winston at QB1 and Dart at QB2.

Dynasty impact:don't drop him. The Engine rest-of-season line is the two games he already played, 27.4 half-PPR. The dynasty rate stays 18.0. Winston's remaining weeks sit around 13 to 15 half-PPR. A one-year absence does not rewrite the longer hold.

Jayden Daniels is doubtful with the same elbow

Jayden Daniels is doubtful with an elbow injury. It is the same elbow that cost him time in 2025, the one we covered in the Week 2 injury report. Thursday's chart still lists him QB1. Marcus Mariota is QB2. The Week 3 report says doubtful. It does not say injured reserve.

Dynasty impact: hold, and watch the recovery. A second hit to the same joint is the reason for caution. Wait until the report says injured reserve before you treat the absence as official.

Caleb Williams is still week to week

Caleb Williams is doubtful with a right hamstring and still listed as Chicago's QB1. Ben Johnson has left Monday night against Philadelphia open. He has not put a return week on it. The fuller picture is in Tuesday's Bears quarterback note. Tyson Bagent is questionable in the concussion protocol. If neither plays, Case Keenum is the third quarterback on the chart.

Dynasty impact: leave his value alone. Of the three quarterbacks, his is the tag that can still clear before a kickoff. Monday is an availability question. It is not a lost year.

Jayden Reed is questionable, and the scary part has eased

Jayden Reed has feeling and movement in all extremities after the hit that sent him to the hospital. Sunday's call was a neck injury. Monday's update called it a back injury. He is questionable for Thursday against Atlanta, with no return date past that. He is listed WR2 behind Christian Watson. Tucker Kraft is already Green Bay's TE1.

Dynasty impact: the movement update is good news. There is still no date to trade on. Wait for one.

A few more worth knowing

The Chargers list Charlie Kolar out with a forearm and David Njoku out with a lower-leg injury. Those are Out tags. The report does not have either on injured reserve. Kolar is still TE1 on the chart and Njoku is TE4. Oronde Gadsden II is the next tight end listed.

Jonathon Brooks is doubtful with a groin. He is already RB4 in Carolina. Chuba Hubbard is the RB1, so this designation does not hand him a job he didn't already have.

Kyler Murray is off the Week 3 report after a Week 2 concussion tag, and Thursday's chart lists him as Minnesota's starter. Sam Darnold is out with a lower-body injury. He is still SEA QB1 on the chart. Drew Lock is QB2.
