Mayfield isn't participating in Saturday's preseason game against Tennessee, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Baker is among a group of healthy Buccaneers starters who aren't playing, including fellow offensive standouts Bucky Irving and Mike Evans. Kyle Trask is getting a chance to lead Tampa Bay's offense early in the contest. Teddy Bridgewater and/or rookie Connor Bazelak should get a look behind center late in the game.

Mills completed four of five passes for 50 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 20-10 preseason loss to the Vikings.

The 26-year-old backup quarterback got the start due to C.J. Stroud being held out of the Texans' exhibition opener, but Mills played only one drive, which he capped with a 14-yard TD to Braxton Berrios. Mills is set as Houston's No. 2 QB, but it's a role that hasn't led him to much action since Stroud got to town, as the former has attempted only 75 passes in 10 regular-season games over the last two seasons.

Purdy didn't warm up and isn't likely to play in Saturday's preseason game against Denver, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Purdy is among a slew of 49ers healthy regulars, including Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle and Ricky Pearsall on offense and Nick Bosa and Fred Warner on defense, who don't appear to be playing in the preseason opener. Mac Jones figures to get a good look behind center against the Broncos.

Prescott will not suit up for Saturday's preseason opener against the Rams, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Prescott is sitting out Saturday, as expected, and will be joined on the sidelines by wideouts CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, plus running back Javonte Williams. With Dak not starting Saturday, Dallas will receive a chance to evaluate Joe Milton and Will Grier in preseason action.

Milton is in line to start Saturday's preseason opener against the Rams, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

It's not surprising that the Cowboys are inclined to play it safe with starter Dak Prescott, a scenario that will allow the team to evaluate fellow QBs Milton and Will Grier. This will mark Milton's game debut with Dallas after coming over in an offseason trade with the Patriots.

While participating in Saturday's practice, Richardson (finger) was able to grip and throw the football in individual and team drills, as he normally does, according to James Boyd of The Athletic.

Richardson dislocated his right pinkie finger in Thursday's preseason opener against the Ravens, but X-rays on his right hand didn't reveal any extensive damage, and the QB was able to get out and practice Saturday with his pinkie taped up. Richardson thus remains involved in what has been described as a close competition with Daniel Jones for the Colts' starting quarterback job.

Trubisky completed nine of 13 passes for 138 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 34-25 preseason loss to the Giants.

With Josh Allen held out, Trubisky got the start and played the entire first half, capping his performance with an 11-yard TD toss to Dawson Knox in the second quarter. Trubisky is currently in the No. 2 QB spot for the Bills -- veteran Mike White is the No. 3 -- a role that afforded the former only 26 pass attempts over nine regular-season appearances in 2024, with most of that volume coming in a Week 18 start when nothing was on the line for Buffalo.

Dart completed 12 of 19 passes for 154 yards and a touchdown while adding 24 rushing yards on three carries in Saturday's 34-25 preseason win over the Bills.

The rookie quarterback led the Giants in both passing yards and rushing yards on the afternoon, as Dart took over from Russell Wilson for the team's second drive of the game and then played the rest of the first half. Three of Dart's four drives put points on the board, with the highlight of his performance being a 29-yard touchdown strike to Lil'Jordan Humphrey early in the second quarter. The 25th overall pick in the 2025 Draft, Dart will begin the regular season on the bench while Wilson runs the offense, but the transition to New York's potential new franchise QB could happen sooner than expected if the Giants stumble out of the gate.

Wilson completed six of seven passes for 28 yards in Saturday's 34-25 preseason win over the Bills.

The veteran quarterback got the start in the Giants' first preseason contest but played only one drive, keeping the ball moving with short passes to his running backs and tight ends to set up a 53-yard Graham Gano field goal. Wilson's reluctance to stretch the field may have been part of a vanilla game plan, but it likely also had something to do with the absence of Malik Nabers (shoulder), Darius Slayton (undisclosed) and Jalin Hyatt from the lineup. It's not clear how much the Giants plan to use Wilson the rest of the preseason, so he may not get any opportunities to build a rapport with Nabers in game action before a Week 1 clash with the Commanders.

Richardson (finger) participated in practice Saturday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

This was the expectation for Richardson, who sustained a dislocated right pinkie finger during Thursday night's preseason opener, but we'll await further reports detailing the QB's level of activity during Saturday's session. Either way, the fact that he's already back on the field and throwing is a good sign for the 2023 first-rounder, who is competing with fellow signal-caller Daniel Jones for the Colts' Week 1 starting assignment.
