Week 3 QB Depth Charts & Injuries Tracker

Keep in mind, 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, and this post is updated throughout the week. The Big Ten requires an “availability report” be released two hours before game time that shows injury questions. Other than that, 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 on this page to make sure it’s the most accurate resource for QB injury and depth chart news on the internet.

Williams (27 snaps | 9-11, 102 yards | 1 rush, 9 yards)
Notes: Van Dyke continued to wear black wrap/splint on his index finger, though that has not seemed to cause any issues this season. Williams played over Brown in garbage time for the second time this season with both looking to redshirt.
W 48-33 vs. Texas A&M
Van Dyke (59 snaps | 21-30, 374 yards, 5 TDs | 2 rush, -12 yards)
Notes: Van Dyke wore a black wrap/splint on his index finger for the second straight week. Miami hopes to redshirt Williams and Brown with Williams appearing in one game so far, while Brown played zero.

Tai Lavatai (Stats)
Blake Horvath (Stats)
L 28-24 at Memphis
