NFL Week Three injury report roundup: Quarterback injuries will impact several games

bE3MJr5sEq4E
Mike Florio and Peter King pick who doesn't belong in a list of quarterbacks going through early struggles or off to fast starts.

Week Three of the 2021 NFL season kicked off on Thursday with a win by Carolina and it continues with 14 more games on Sunday, which means that the 28 teams in those games submitted their final injury reports of the week on Friday.

The teams playing on Monday night won’t release their final injury reports until Saturday and are not listed here.

With that housekeeping out of the way, here are all the injury reports for Sunday.
