Marcus Mariota QB | WAS
Raiders' Marcus Mariota: Still no practice reps
Mariota (undisclosed) didn't practice Monday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Mariota dealt with shoulder and ankle woes during the offseason, but coach Jon Gruden has indicated the quarterback's current issue is unrelated, calling him day-to-day back on Aug. 26. Still, Mariota remains away from the field, leaving Nathan Peterman as the only reserve QB on the Raiders roster behind Derek Carr.

Mitch Trubisky QB | TEN
Bears' Mitchell Trubisky: Officially named starting QB
Head coach Matt Nagy announced that Trubisky will start Week 1 versus the Lions, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN reports.
The news was leaked a couple of days prior to the official announcement, but now it's set in stone that Trubisky will be afforded another opportunity to live up to his second-overall selection in the 2017 NFL Draft. Nagy emphasized multiple times that Trubisky won the competition on his own merit, relaying that the quarterback improved his footwork, accuracy and command this offseason. Nevertheless, his performance in 2019 was uninspiring with 3,138 yards, 17 touchdowns and 10 interceptions over 15 games, and if he begins the year with the same caliber of play, Nagy could quickly shift to backup QB Nick Foles, who apparently had a strong camp as well.

Mike White QB | CAR
Mike White: Lands on practice squad
The Jets signed White to the practice squad Sunday, Ralph Vacchiano of SNY.com reports.
The Jets also gave David Fales a spot on the practice squad, so White will continue to see competition for an emergency gig. He also spent the 2019 campaign developing on New York's practice squad.

Brandon Allen QB | NYG
Brandon Allen: Lands on practice squad
Allen cleared waivers and signed with the Bengals' practice squad Sunday, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
The Broncos started Allen under center in three games last year, and the results were discouraging, as he completed just 46.4 percent of his passes for 515 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. He'll stick with the Bengals' practice squad as the franchise's No. 3 quarterback behind Joe Burrow and Ryan Finley.

Joshua Dobbs QB | DET
Steelers' Joshua Dobbs: Back in Steel City
Dobbs was claimed by the Steelers on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Dobbs was a surprise cut by the Jaguars on Saturday, but the Tennessee product will reunite with his former club. Dobbs failed to see the field with the Jaguars last campaign, as the team elected to keep rookie Jake Luton as the only backup behind Gardner Minshew. Dobbs will join a crowded quarterback room, with Devlin Hodges and Mason Rudolph joining him as backups to Ben Roethlisberger.

Brett Rypien QB | HOU
Brett Rypien: Fails to make final cut
Rypien was waived by the Broncos on Saturday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
Rypien dressed as the backup for the Broncos for three games in 2019, but did not appear in any of them. Rypien failed to make an impression with the coaching staff for even a third-string role, as the Broncos will roll with Drew Lock and Jeff Driskel on the depth chart to start the 2020 campaign.

Tyler Huntley QB | BAL
Tyler Huntley: Fails to make final cut
Huntley was cut by Baltimore on Saturday, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Huntley inked a contract as an undrafted free agent out of Utah this offseason, but, as evidenced by this news, he failed to make a lasting impression. With Huntley out of the picture, the Ravens will roll with Robert Griffin and Trace McSorley as primary backups behind Lamar Jackson.

Logan Woodside QB | ARI
Titans' Logan Woodside: Wins backup job
Woodside officially won the backup quarterback job after the team cut Trevor Siemian, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.
Woodside's steady performance throughout training camp impressed the team enough to stick on the roster. A former seventh-round pick, this is the first time Woodside has been on an active NFL roster. Siemian is a candidate to join the team's practice squad.

Jake Fromm QB | DET
Bills' Jake Fromm: Makes team as No. 3
Fromm survived the Bills' roster cutdown Saturday and looks to begin the season as the team's No. 3 quarterback.
For now, the rookie out of Georgia will work behind Josh Allen and Matt Barkley, though there's always a chance the team could bring in one more veteran and try to hide Fromm on the practice squad. For now , however, the Bills are choosing the sixth-rounder over Davis Webb, who was let go Saturday.

Cooper Rush QB | ATL
Cooper Rush: Shifts to waivers
The Giants waived Rush on Saturday, Michael Eisen of the team's official site reports.
Offensive coordinator Jason Garrett was Rush's head coach in Dallas last year, but Rush couldn't beat out Colt McCoy to be Daniel Jones' backup in 2020. Rush may stick around on the practice squad if he clears waivers.
