The quarterback landscape in the NFL has altered dramatically from Week 1 to Week 18 of the 2023 season.
With just one week left in the regular season, there have been various injuries and benchings at the QB position.
It all started in New York, where the Jets' prized acquisition Aaron Rodgers suffered a torn Achilles in his season debut.

In Week 9, the New York Giants lost starter Daniel Jones for the season with a torn ACL. Deshaun Watson was then ruled out for the season due to a broken bone in his throwing shoulder, then Joe Burrow was lost for the rest of the year and finally Justin Herbert was sent to season-ending IR with a finger fracture. Week 18 will feature additional starters watching from the sidelines.
