Five NFL starting quarterbacks are injured for Week 3: Joe Burrow (Bengals), Jayden Daniels (Commanders), J.J. McCarthy (Vikings), Justin Fields (Jets), and Brock Purdy (49ers). Other QBs, including Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen, also have injuries. Despite the high number of quarterback injuries early in the season, the NFL's popularity remains unaffected, indicating continued strong viewership regardless of player health. The league's plans to expand the season and add teams are also unlikely to be deterred.
