  • Rams' Stetson Bennett: Struggles in limited action

    Bennett completed four of nine passes for 14 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions in the Rams' 41-0 preseason loss to the Broncos on Saturday night.

    Bennett drew the start but struggled for the majority of his three drives. The rookie capped off his final possession with an interception at the Broncos' 37-yard line on a pass intended for Demarcus Robinson, putting an ugly finish to what had been a solid preseason coming into the night. Bennett had completed 32 of 53 passes for 333 yards with a touchdown and an interception over the first pair of exhibitions, and it now remains to be seen whether the Rams will opt to keep a third quarterback on the active roster behind Matthew Stafford and Brett Rypien.

  • Jaren Hall QB | SEA

    Vikings' Jaren Hall: Entire game in exhibition finale

    Hall completed 16 of 27 passes for 178 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Saturday's 18-17 preseason loss to the Cardinals. He added six rushes for 21 yards.

    Hall played the entire game and led a few impressive drives early in the first half. He tallied his first professional touchdown on a five-yard toss to Abram Smith, but Hall also showed the ability to push the ball down the field with five completions of at least 15 yards. Hall projects to enter the regular season as the Vikings' third quarterback.

  • Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Encouraging effort in finale

    Lawrence completed eight of 10 passes for 92 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Jaguars' 31-18 preseason win over the Dolphins on Saturday night.

    Lawrence got off to a hot start by completing passes of 11 yards to Calvin Ridley and 13 and 11 yards to Luke Farrell as part of a 12-play, 78-yard march, but the possession ended with a Tank Bigsby fumble at the one-yard line. Undeterred, Lawrence came back to helm a 12-play, 80-yard drive on Jacksonville's second possession, one that included a 28-yard connection with Ridley. The 2021 first-overall pick's night was a success overall despite the lack of a touchdown pass, and he'll now turn his focus to a Week 1 AFC South road battle against Anthony Richardson and the Colts on Sunday, Sept. 10.

  • Tua Tagovailoa QB | ATL

    Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Sharp in preseason finale

    Tagovailoa completed four of six passes for 67 yards and rushed once for no gain in the Dolphins' 31-18 preseason loss to the Jaguars on Saturday night.

    As expected, Tagovailoa made a relatively brief appearance and had highlights on both of the drives he was in for. The fourth-year pro led the Dolphins on an 11-play, 74-yard march on his second possession, one that culminated in a field goal. He'd also recorded his longest completion on his first pass, a 32-yard connection with Tyreek Hill on Miami's first play from scrimmage. The performance served as a fitting tune-up for Tagovailoa and the rest of the first-team offense, and the focus will now shift to a Week 1 road showdown against the Chargers on Sunday, Sept. 10.

  • Bengals' Jake Browning: Makes bid for No. 2 QB spot

    Browning completed each of his six passes for 42 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 21-19 preseason loss to the Commanders.

    Browning got the start and led the Bengals to seven points on two drives before turning things over to Trevor Siemian, who produced six points on five drives. One of the two will be named the No. 2 QB to start the season, with the role taking on added importance in light of Joe Burrow's continued recovery from a calf injury suffered in late July.

  • Kyle Trask QB | TB

    Buccaneers' Kyle Trask: Looks solid over three quarters

    Trask completed 19 of 31 passes for 192 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 26-20 preseason win over Baltimore.

    Week 1 starter Baker Mayfield produced seven points on two drives without throwing an incompletion, then Trask played the rest of the game with a mix of backups and camp bodies. It was a solid showing, and Trask's overall competent performance this preseason could become a factor if Mayfield struggles and the Bucs consider a QB change during the regular season.

  • Commanders' Jacoby Brissett: Solid to finish preseason

    Brissett completed 10 of 15 passes for 96 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 21-19 preseason loss to the Bengals.

    Brissett started and played the first three drives in a game where both teams held out all their key players. The 30-year-old will back up Sam Howell when the Commanders open the regular season Sept. 10 against the Cardinals.

  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Makes team debut

    Rodgers made his first preseason appearance with the Jets on Saturday, completing five of his eight pass attempts for 47 yards and a touchdown in an exhibition win over the Giants.

    Rodgers made his first preseason appearance since 2018 and officially debuted with the Jets following 17 seasons with the Packers. The 39-year-old was on the field for the first two offensive drives before ending his brief outing with a touchdown pass to Garrett Wilson. Fantasy managers are hoping for that scoring connection between the new teammates repeats often this upcoming season. Rodgers will make his first regular-season start with New York against Buffalo on Sept. 11.

  • Tyler Huntley QB | BAL

    Ravens' Tyler Huntley: Misses Saturday's preseason game

    Huntley (hamstring) was absent during warmups before Saturday's preseason game against the Buccaneers, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Huntley tweaked his hamstring during the Ravens' first preseason game and has been sidelined since. Head coach John Harbaugh did tell reporters last week that he isn't concerned about his backup quarterback's health going forward, so the team might just be resting the one-time Pro Bowler and making sure he's ready for the regular season. Expect the Utah product to continue backing up Lamar Jackson ahead of the coming season.

  • Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Finishes preseason on high note

    Mayfield completed each of his six pass attempts for 43 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason game against Baltimore.

    Mayfield and the first-team offense dispatched of Baltimore's second-string offense, with Chris Godwin catching four passes for 30 yards and a TD before he and Mayfield were pulled from the game. Those two and Mike Evans will form the core of Tampa's passing attack heading into a Week 1 matchup at Minnesota.
