Emergency QB3 for Week 8 Morton (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Patriots' emergency third quarterback against the Dolphins on Sunday.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE
Serving as emergency QB again Week 7 Morton (coach's decision) is inactive and designated as New England's emergency third quarterback for Thursday's matchup versus Chicago.
Impact This has become the routine for Morton, who has worked as the Patriots' emergency third quarterback every week so far this season. The role has yet to land the rookie QB any game reps, and he'll be eligible to enter Thursday's contest only if both quarterbacks ahead of him (Drake Maye and Tommy DeVito) are forced to exit due to injury, illness or ejection.
OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE
Emergency QB3 again Morton (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Patriots' emergency third quarterback against the Jets on Sunday.
Impact Morton remains the third option at quarterback behind starter Drake Maye and backup Tommy DeVito. The seventh-round rookie will only enter Sunday's contest if both Maye and DeVito cannot return to the game.
OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE
Emergency QB3 for Week 5 Morton (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Patriots' emergency third quarterback against the Raiders on Sunday.
Impact Effectively, the rookie seventh-rounder is not allowed to play unless both Drake Maye and Tommy DeVito leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.
OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Emergency QB3 for Week 4 Morton (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Patriots' emergency third quarterback against the Bills on Sunday.
Impact As such, the rookie seventh-rounder is not allowed to play unless both Drake Maye and Tommy DeVito leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.
OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
QB3 again in Week 3 Morton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Jacksonville but will serve as the team's emergency quarterback if necessary.
Impact Drake Maye and Tommy DeVito are both active, meaning Morton will be the Pats' QB3 in an emergency situation.
SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE
Serving as emergency QB3 again Morton (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Patriots' emergency third quarterback against the Steelers on Sunday.
Impact As the emergency third quarterback, Morton is not allowed to play Sunday unless both Drake Maye and Tommy DeVito leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection. Morton was a seventh-round selection of the Patriots in the 2026 NFL Draft.

SEPTEMBER 9 • Associated Press
Emergency QB3 for Week 1 Morton (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Patriots' emergency third quarterback for Wednesday's game against the Seahawks.
Impact As the emergency third quarterback, Morton is prohibited from seeing the field Wednesday unless Drake Maye and Tommy DeVito are both removed from the contest due to injury, illness or ejection. Morton was a seventh-round selection of the Patriots in the 2026 NFL Draft and played in all three preseason games, completing 38 of 58 passes (65.5 percent) for 318 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions while turning four carries into 18 yards.
SEPTEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Picked off twice Thursday Morton completed 18 of 28 passes for 123 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Thursday's 37-13 preseason loss to the Browns. He also rushed twice for 18 yards.
Impact Morton entered the game in the first quarter after Tommy DeVito played New England's first two drives. The rookie seventh-round pick out of Texas Tech promptly threw an interception on his first pass and was later picked off again in the fourth quarter. Morton is clearly behind Drake Maye and DeVito on New England's quarterback depth chart heading into the regular season.

Impact The 2026 seventh-round pick followed Tommy DeVito into the game and finished out the Patriots victory by throwing a game-winning 37-yard touchdown pass to Nick DeGennaro. Given DeVito's experience edge, Morton projects to serve as an emergency third quarterback throughout the 2026 season barring injuries to the former or Drake Maye, but he could play close to the full game in the preseason finale on the road against the Browns on Thursday.
