The NFL tries to keep quarterbacks healthy, because quarterbacks make the game go.<\/p>\n
In two weeks, things are going the wrong way.<\/p>\n
Five starting quarterbacks are currently injured. 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy emerged from Week 1 with a toe injury. On Sunday, four other starting quarterbacks were injured: Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (knee), Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe), Jets quarterback Justin Fields (concussion), and Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle).<\/p>\n
Bills quarterback Josh Allen also got busted in the nose, but he wasn\u2019t listed on Monday\u2019s injury report in advance of Thursday night\u2019s game against the Dolphins.<\/p>\n
Last year, only two quarterbacks were injured in the early weeks of the season: Packers quarterback Jordan Love (knee) and Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion).<\/p>\n
On Monday night, Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield grabbed his left knee after going to the ground in the first half. He has missed no time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The NFL tries to keep quarterbacks healthy, because quarterbacks make the game go.
