Resetting expectations for these six NFL teams with injured quarterbacks: Giants eyeing draft again - CBS Sports

Six NFL starting quarterbacks have been sidelined from training camp through Week 2 of the 2026 season, affecting nearly a quarter of the league, though many injuries appear short-term.

The New York Giants may be the hardest hit after Jaxson Dart suffered a knee injury on "Monday Night Football" that testing revealed to be more severe than feared, making him the most likely of the injured passers to miss the rest of the season.

With Dart potentially out, veteran Jameis Winston would take over, but his diminished arm strength, turnover issues and limited mobility cap the offense's ceiling; the Giants are 0-5 in games without Dart since he arrived as a first-round pick.

The likely outcome for New York is competing for another early draft pick in 2027, a stark reset from a season that was expected to push their young core toward playoff contention.

The Chicago Bears lost Caleb Williams to a hamstring injury in their Week 2 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, but he is now week-to-week and could return as soon as the Monday matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

With backup Tyson Bagent dealing with a concussion, the Bears may start third-stringer Case Keenum, who would be making his first appearance since 2023; if Williams misses only one game, Chicago would likely sit at 1-2 upon his return.
