  • Zach Wilson QB | MIA

    Dolphins' Zach Wilson: Another mixed performance

    Wilson completed nine of 13 passes for 80 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Saturday's 14-6 preseason win over the Jaguars.

    Wilson followed Tua Tagovailoa into the game and led two lengthy possessions. The first stalled after Wilson took a sack, but he then tallied long completions of 21 and 17 yards on the following drive, which concluded in a rushing score. Wilson appears likely to head into the regular season as Tagovailoa's backup.

  • Kyle Trask QB | TB

    Buccaneers' Kyle Trask: Sharp but risk-averse Saturday

    Trask started Saturday night's 23-19 preseason loss to the Bills and completed 13 of 17 passes for 93 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions while adding one rush for four yards.

    Trask played the entire first half due to Teddy Bridgewater being sidelined due to an illness. As his final line indicates, Trask stuck to high-percentage throws for the most part, and he capped off his performance with a one-yard TD pass to Tez Johnson with under a minute remaining in the first half. Despite Bridgewater having played in just one preseason game and Trask having put together a solid exhibition slate overall, there's still a possibility the latter is on the outside looking in come final roster cuts.

  • Raiders' Aidan O'Connell: Ruled out with wrist injury

    O'Connell won't return to Saturday's preseason game at Arizona due to a right wrist injury, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

    After starting quarterback Geno Smith led the Raiders to a touchdown on their opening possession, O'Connell took over the offense for two drives of his own, one in which he lost a fumble and the other that resulted in a successful Daniel Carlson field goal. Per Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com, O'Connell then went to the locker room before being ruled out. Cam Miller entered the contest in place of O'Connell.

  • Tua Tagovailoa QB | MIA

    Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Plays three drives

    Tagovailoa completed four of eight passes for 49 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 14-6 preseason win over the Jaguars.

    Tagovailoa made his preseason debut and led three offensive possessions, the final of which ended with a touchdown. Though Jaylen Waddle also played, Tagovailoa primarily targeted Malik Washington, who did the majority of the work on Tagovailoa's 25-yard touchdown pass. Most importantly, he came from the contest healthy and will be locked in as the starting quarterback for Miami's Week 1 matchup against the Colts.

  • Jalen Milroe QB | SEA

    Seahawks' Jalen Milroe: Throws first preseason touchdown

    Milroe completed 13 of 24 passes for 148 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Saturday's 20-7 preseason loss to the Packers. He added seven rushes for 31 yards while also losing three fumbles.

    Milroe was the only Seahawks quarterback to play, and there were plenty of positives and negatives to take away from his performance. He struggled against the Packers' better defensive personnel and managed to lead only one scoring drive that came early in the fourth quarter, while also taking five sacks and turning the ball over three times. More positively, Milroe displayed solid skills on Seattle's scoring drive, showing accuracy to all levels of the field -- including an 18-yard touchdown pass -- while also picking up 15 yards on a designed run. Milroe appears likely to open the season as Seattle's third quarterback.

  • Malik Willis QB | GB

    Packers' Malik Willis: Leads two drives

    Willis completed three of six passes for 50 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Saturday's 20-7 preseason win over the Seahawks.

    Willis started in the absence of Jordan Love (thumb) and played with the majority of Green Bay's top skill-position players. His longest completion went for 39 yards to Matthew Golden, and he later capped the same drive with a one-yard touchdown toss to Romeo Doubs. Willis also displayed some inconsistency as a passer, as he overthrew Malik Heath for an interception to end the Packers' first drive. Willis will enter the season as the backup to Love.

  • Hendon Hooker QB | DET

    Lions' Hendon Hooker: No. 2 job slipping away

    Hooker completed six of 11 passes for 70 yards and an interception in Saturday's 26-7 preseason loss to the Texans. He added 25 yards on his only carry.

    While it was encouraging to see him make a big play with his legs, Hooker was once again out-performed through the air by Kyle Allen, who got the start completed all five of his passes and hit Isaac TeSlaa for a 33-yard TD. Hooker headed into training camp the favorite to take over the No. 2 QB job behind Jared Goff, but he may have squandered the opportunity and let Allen leapfrog him on the depth chart.

  • Kyle Allen QB | DET

    Lions' Kyle Allen: Perfect in preseason finale

    Allen completed all five of his passes for 66 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 26-7 preseason loss to the Texans.

    The 29-year-old QB may have locked up the No. 2 job for the Lions with this performance. Allen got the start and while he took a sack to end Detroit's first possession, he was laser-focused on the second, ending the drive with a 33-yard TD pass to Isaac TeSlaa. Hendon Hooker, meanwhile, went 6-for-11 for 70 yards and an INT after taking over from Allen. Jared Goff is locked into the starting role for the Lions, but Allen appears to be the next man up should anything happen to him.

  • Jordan Love QB | GB

    Packers' Jordan Love: May take snaps this week

    Coach Matt LaFleur said the Packers are hopeful that Love (thumb) will be able to take snaps when the team reconvenes for practice Tuesday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

    Love had surgery Aug. 12 to address a ligament injury in his left thumb and was able to practice on a limited basis as of this past Monday. Green Bay predictably held him out of its final two preseason contests, allowing backup QB Malik Willis to get some run with the starters in Saturday's exhibition win against the Seahawks in particular. There's little concern about Love's availability for a Week 1 matchup with the Lions on Sunday, Sept. 7, and increasing his team drills this coming week would put him on pace to do so.

  • Browns' Shedeur Sanders: Poor showing in preseason finale

    Sanders completed three of six passes for 14 yards in Saturday's 19-17 preseason win over the Rams.

    The 2025 fifth-round pick was the third quarterback into the game for the Browns behind Week 1 starter Joe Flacco and 2025 third-round selection Dillon Gabriel, and Sanders did little to shake up the depth chart, as he took five sacks on five drives while playing most of the second half. Kenny Pickett (hamstring) is still in the mix as well for slotting behind Flacco, but Gabriel appears to be firmly ahead of Sanders if there's room for only one rookie QB on the roster.
