Six NFL Teams Face New Reality After Quarterback Injuries Through Week 2

Quarterback injuries have shaken up the early 2026 NFL season, with six starters going down from training camp through Week 2. The New York Giants may face the toughest road after Jackson Dart suffered a knee injury on Monday Night Football that could end his season, leaving James Winston to handle the offense. Seattle looks best positioned to keep winning without Sam Darnold , while Minnesota expects Kyler Murray back in Week 3 after clearing concussion protocol. Chicago, Washington , and Atlanta are also adjusting, with the Falcons turning to Michael Pennix Jr. as Tua Tagovailoa ramps back up.
