The Depth Chart & Injury Report is the main section today with subsections on recruiting, transfer portal and NFL Draft info. Every newsletter includes an updated quarterback depth chart for all 133 FBS programs with notes on QB battles, injuries, roster movement and any other newsworthy items all year round.
WEEK 13 DEPTH CHART & INJURY REPORT
Not every team releases a depth chart or an injury report, but the depth charts reflect whatever the team releases during the week. I’ll add a few notes to provide more context to any QB injury or depth chart question.
Unlike the NFL, there is no consequence for teams to mislead on depth charts and injuries to potentially gain an advantage. Because of that, this will never be perfect, but I put in the time and research to make sure this is the most accurate resource for QB injury and depth chart news on the internet.
A few notes on my injury designations:
Questionable — Suffered an injury in the previous game or has yet to return from injury.
Probable — Had been injured but played and looked healthy in the previous game.
Out — No chance the player will be available.
A few notes on eligibility:
Players may play up to 4 games in a season without it counting toward a year of eligibility if they have a redshirt available.
2020 COVID season didn’t count toward a year of eligibility.
Years of eligibility shows years left heading into the 2023 season.
*Indicates redshirt is still available to use.
The top two quarterback options (more if they’re known) are in bold for all 133 FBS programs. The rest are sorted by years of eligibility remaining, followed by highest high school star rating from 247, On3 and Rivals.
