Fox News reported that five National Football League backup quarterbacks start in Week 9, in an item whose headline describes the week of the backup QB in the NFL as kicking off. The headline names Shedeur Sanders, Milton, Minshew, Drew Lock, and Carson Wentz among the players who start, according to the Fox News report on backup quarterbacks starting in Week 9.
According to the summary of the Fox News report, Shedeur Sanders, Carson Wentz, and Drew Lock are all stepping in for "playoff-contending teams." The summary does not name the teams those players represent, and it does not say how Milton and Minshew fit into the same group, although the headline lists them among the starters.
The summary states that the five starts fall in Week 9 but does not give the games, opponents, or kickoff times. It also does not name the starters being replaced. Neither the headline nor the summary describes the result of any game, and the summary does not say how many games each quarterback will start.
The headline's wording suggests the report treats the group of starts as a single stretch of play, though the summary does not explain why the outlet framed the week that way. The full text of the Fox News item was not available for this account, and the item lists no author in the material provided, so no individual reporter is named.
The Continental Gazette is relying solely on the headline and summary of the Fox News item for this account and has not confirmed the starting lineups through any other source. Because the material is limited to a headline and a short summary, this account does not address the reasons any starter is absent, a matter the summary does not mention.
