This is the big change. Tune is the only quarterback on the active roster. Josh Dobbs was traded. Kyler Murray is still on PUP and Jeff Driskel is on the practice squad.

  • Emari Demercado
  • Keaontay Ingram

This has not changed at all. However, Demercado has a toe injury and did not practice on Wednesday, so Ingram might be forced into a featured role.
