With both backups on expiring deals, the team’s QB depth may reflect future planning. Payton remains committed to Nix, who’s looked sharp post-injury, while the offense is dialing back designed runs for added protection. It’s business as usual: Nix leads, Stidham’s ready, and Ehlinger’s got a roster spot — but not the starting clipboard.
