Who is the Philadelphia Eagles’ WR3 behind AJ Brown and DeVona Smith? Is it the most tenured player in the group, punter returned-turned-offensive weapon Britain Covey? Or how about rookie sixth-round pick Johnny Wilson, who has thoroughly lapped fifth-rounder Ainias Smith for playing time? Could it be free agent signee Parris Campbell, who signed with […]

After suffering a brutal setback just as the summer was heating up last month, landing on the Non-Football Injury List with a hamstring injury, Cooper DeJean has made his triumphant return to training camp ahead of the Philadelphia Eagles’ final preseason game, logging 12 snaps in his first practice of August in 7-on-7 drills for […]

The preseason is a time for players who may not see the field to show their skills, and the Atlanta Falcons are taking a different approach not playing Michael Penix Jr. The rookie quarterback didn’t play in the preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens, and he’s not expected to see the field in their final […]

After a strong preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns, the Green Bay Packers fell flat in their second exhibition contest against the Denver Broncos, losing 27-2. The Green Bay offense did not score a point, as three turnovers on downs, a lost fumble, an interception, and a missed field goal highlighted an evening full of […]

The Denver Broncos were once one of the most prestigious teams in the NFL. From the John Elway era through the Peyton Manning era, Denver was always a threat to win the Super Bowl. That hasn’t been the case since Manning retired, as the team has rotated through quarterbacks who haven’t worked out since then, […]

After a promising preseason opener against the Houston Texans that ended in defeat, the Pittsburgh Steelers fell flat in their second preseason contest against the Buffalo Bills. The offense had better ball security but could consistently gain yardage, and the final scoreline read 9-3 in favor of the Bills. Pittsburgh still has one more preseason […]

The Chicago Bears are excited for the upcoming 2024 campaign, largely because of Caleb Williams, who they selected with the first overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft to come in and be their new quarterback of the future. Of course, he wasn’t the only new face the Bears brought in this offseason, as they […]

There is no question as to who would start the season as QB1 for the San Francisco 49ers. Brock Purdy has that position on lock after making 21 solid starts for the 49ers over the past two seasons. On the other hand, the QB2 distinction remains up for grabs — although perhaps not for long. […]

It’s obvious that Brock Purdy will be the starting quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, but there are still questions on who be the backup to him. Josh Dobbs and Brandon Allen are the two battling for the N0.2 spot, and head coach Kyle Shanahan has been impressed with both of them. Last week, Allen […]

The Denver Broncos came into training camp with one of the most interesting quarterback battles of the summer. Rookie Bo Nix has been impressive so far, including Sunday’s preseason game against the Green Bay Packers. He finished 8-9 with 80 yards and a touchdown pass. In his two preseason games, he has played six series […]

Holdouts are very common during the NFL Preseason. Some want to have bigger contracts, more prominent roles, or be able to have better control of their future.

When looking on the surface of the New York Giants’ 28-10 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 2 of the preseason, there were many aspects to be justifiably concerned about, but there were some encouraging signs from players who are on the roster bubble. The Giants’ game against the Texans was essentially a dress […]

Mike Tomlin has to be fuming. The Pittsburgh Steelers have not won a game yet in the NFL Preseason with their latest loss coming against the Buffalo Bills. It was not like they were playing the secondary squad for the majority of the time too. Instead, they were fielding top-tier talent in Russell Wilson and […]

When the Minnesota Vikings training camp opened, Jaren Hall was likely viewed as nothing more than a deep reserve quarterback on the depth chart. You know what they say about the best laid plans of mice and men? Well, a season-ending meniscus injury to rookie J.J. McCarthy created a new opportunity among the Vikings’ reserve […]

The Seattle Seahawks are in a transitionary period as a franchise. Seattle had many good years with Pete Carroll as head coach and Russell Wilson as the team’s starting QB.

The Kansas City Chiefs are preparing for a historic 2024 season.

That pressure hasn’t stopped Patrick Mahomes and friends from having a little fun during the preseason. Patrick […]

Miami Dolphins star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa had a literally perfect outing in his first preseason action this year where the team won against the Washington Commanders, 13-6.

The Las Vegas Raiders are nearing the end of the training camp QB competition. Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce previously said that he would decide on the team’s starting QB shortly after the second preseason game. That deadline has come and gone, so we can expect an update from Pierce very soon. Unfortunately, Aidan O’Connell […]

It’s no secret that the Chicago Bears are a franchise that has been haunted by its inability to find a star quarterback, a curse that Bears fans hoped was reversed on April 25th — the day that Caleb Williams became a Chicago Bear. Still, for as easy as it is to be optimistic about how […]

Washington Commanders star Jayden Daniels made another appearance during a preseason game in the loss to the Miami Dolphins, 13-6, and had some moments that were notable. However, Commanders head coach Dan Quinn spoke after the game to talk about Daniels performance saying that the rookie quarterback is in “double secret probation.” For those who […]

Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin isn’t mincing words about his team’s preseason performance against Buffalo Saturday. The Steelers lost 9-3 to Buffalo in a game not known for its offense.

Caleb Williams has already shown through two preseason games that he’s a very talented football player, and others around the league seem to have noticed the same thing.

The Indianapolis Colts took the field last night in a preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals. This was the team’s second preseason game of the year, meaning the regular season is inching closer and closer. Colts fans were going nuts all night long, but not for the reason you might expect. Fans were going crazy […]

The Buffalo Bills engaged the Pittsburgh Steelers in their second NFL Preseason matchup of the 2024 campaign. The Bills won 9-3 but not without receiving a handful of worrisome injury report updates. Most notably, wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling suffered a neck injury that saw him exit the game with no return, per Ari Meirov. In […]

Whether winning Super Bowls, hawking insurance products, making the rounds of the podcast circuit or nonchalantly creating iconic plays together, there’s no denying the epic bond between long-time Kansas City Chiefs teammates Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes. After Mahomes made an incredible, spur-of-the-moment, behind-the-back pass to Kelce, which the tight end converted for an eight-yard […]

The Kansas City Chiefs, reigning Super Bowl champions, continue their exhibition schedule this afternoon at home against the Detroit Lions, aiming to even their record at 1-1. The Chiefs decided to feature some of their top players in today’s game, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce. As expected, Mahomes showcased his signature […]

On Saturday, Patrick Mahomes threw an incredible behind-the-back pass to Travis Kelce. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback has made no shortage of amazing plays throughout his career, but Saturday’s was at another level. So what led to Mahomes’ jaw-dropping play? “I mean, long story short, Travis didn’t run the route he was supposed to run,” […]

Another Kansas City Chiefs game means another highlight play for star quarterback Patrick Mahomes as it happened again Saturday in their preseason contest against the Detroit Lions.

The Atlanta Falcons have made the decision that rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. will be held out for the third preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz.

The Detroit Lions are suddenly one of the “it” teams in the NFL. Just three years into the Dan Campbell + Brad Holmes rebuild, the Lions came so close to the Super Bowl that they could taste it. Now expectations are as high as they’ve ever been heading into 2024. It helps that Detroit has […]

The New York Giants dealt with a brief injury scare earlier this week. Their star rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers twisted his ankle at training camp practice.

The Buffalo Bills got beat badly by the Chicago Bears in their 2024 NFL preseason opener, losing 33-6. Of course, no one in Western New York cares about the final score.

It’s looking like every day that Sam Darnold will be the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, especially after the news of the season-ending injury to rookie J.J. McCarthy.

While the San Francisco 49ers did lose in their preseason opener, 17-13, to the Tennessee Titans, the outcome is not as important as the reps and experience gained by the reserves.
