top backup

FVA English to Portuguese Other Sports / Fitness / Recreation futebol americano, esportes
Texto sobre futebol americano do inglês para o pt-BR. Segue o contexto:

"Injured Quinn Ewers and top backup Hudson Card, unfortunately, are 'day-to-day' and so won't be playing next game."

Entendi, por um momento, que "top backup" talvez estivesse fazendo referência/fosse uma abreviatura de algum tipo de quarterback no futebol americano, mas tenho dúvidas e gostaria do input alheio.

Obg de antemão!

suplente principal

What do backup NFL players do?
Most backups get few, if any, reps in their team's system throughout the week. They work mostly with the practice squad helping to mimic the plays and style of an upcoming opponent.
While their primary role may be to be available in case of injury to the starter, the backup quarterback may also have additional roles such as a holder on placekicks or as a punter, and will often play a key role in practice, serving as the upcoming opponent's quarterback during the preceding week's practices.
Example sentence:

Como vem atuando com três zagueiros, a tendência é colocar Messias como suplente principal.

A tendência, porém, é que o jovem Dennis Schroder volte a ganhar tempo de quadra e ameace o suplente principal
