Injuries are decimating starting quarterbacks in the 2021 NFL season as since the second week of the season the first major injury of a starter was reported when Tua Tagovailoa of the Miami Dolphins suffered a broken rib injury. But for Week 11 things are worse, at least five starting quarterbacks will be out for this week’s games.
Prior to the Week 11 games, a list of names was known to replace the injured QB1s during the last two weeks. But after several days of analysis the head coaches made last minute changes in the hope that some backup quaterback would recover from an injury.
The most shocking case of Week 10 was with the Arizona Cardinals, they do not have Kyler Murray available and during that week, QB2 Colt McCoy suffered an injury that was going to put him out of action for Week 11. The available QB3 was Chris Streveler, but McCoy is healthy and available to play.
