  • Ryan Tannehill QB | TEN

    Titans' Ryan Tannehill: Back in business

    Tannehill (undisclosed) resumed practicing fully Tuesday, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.

    Tannehill missed practiced Monday, but coach Mike Vrabel subsequently relayed that there was "no issue," a notion supported by the quarterback's return to work a day later.

  • Trevor Siemian QB | ATL

    Titans' Trevor Siemian: Lands deal with Tennessee

    Siemian agreed to a contract with the Titans on Wednesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    In a corresponding move, the team waived seventh-round pick Cole McDonald, who had been penciled in as the team's No. 3 signal-caller behind Ryan Tannehill and Logan Woodside. Siemian, a seventh-round pick himself (in 2015), gives the Titans a quarterback with prior NFL starting experience behind Tannehill, who signed a long-term extension in March.

  • Panthers' Teddy Bridgewater: Building familiarity with new team

    Bridgewater has shown good mobility and an improving rapport with wideout Robby Anderson early in training camp, Jonathan M. Alexander of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Bridgewater certainly won't be mistaken for a former track star, but the quarterback is capable of scampering for a first down here and there. More importantly, it's the turbo-charged Anderson whose speed has impressed at camp thus far, as he's reportedly gotten consistent separation and has emerged as a favorite target of Bridgewater. With D.J. Moore, Curtis Samuel and Christian McCaffrey also ranking among his top weapons, Bridgewater undoubtedly has a dynamic set of pass catchers at his disposal as he re-familiarizes himself with offensive coordinator Joe Brady this season.

  • Mitch Trubisky QB | TEN

    Bears' Mitchell Trubisky: Alternating days as starter

    Trubisky is taking turns during practice each day with Nick Foles as the starting quarterback, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports.

    This news won't help fantasy managers make a decision as to which Chicago quarterback is the better fantasy option, and with no preseason games, there may not be clarity unless one of them begins to receive regular first-team reps. If he wins the job, Trubisky is likely to function as a low-end QB2 for fantasy managers.

  • Patriots' Jarrett Stidham: Struggles in practice Tuesday

    Stidham tossed three interceptions during Tuesday's practice, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

    Stidham reportedly outplayed Cam Newton and Brian Hoyer on Monday, but it was a different story on the second day of padded practice as the second-year pro had eight completion and three INTs on his 11 pass attempts. Newton remains the favorite for the Week 1 start, while Hoyer may be part of the competition in name only. Stidham lands somewhere in the middle, hoping to make an impression over the next few weeks.

  • Brian Hoyer QB | LV

    Patriots' Brian Hoyer: Getting first-team reps

    Hoyer, Cam Newton and Jarrett Stidham have taken an even split of QB reps through the first two days of padded practices, Ryan Hannable of WEEI.com reports.

    Hoyer was promised an opportunity to compete for the starting job when he signed with the Patriots in March, but most of the recent analysis has focused on Newton, and, to a lesser extent, Stidham. Mark Daniels of the Providence Journal notes that Hoyer was the top performer at Tuesday's practice, likely benefitting from his prior experience working with offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. That said, Newton is making progress and remains the favorite to get the Week 1 start.

  • John Wolford QB | MIN

    Rams' John Wolford: Favorite for backup job

    Wolford has impressed offensive coordinator Kevin O'Connell, Jordan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    O'Connell noted his optimism about Wolford's ability to lead the offense, "He's prepared. He's incredibly smart. I've been really happy with how he's progressed fundamentally and he's throwing the ball really well." However, it's impossible to overlook the fact Wolford has never thrown a pass in an NFL regular season game. He would also be a significant downgrade from No. 1 quarterback Jared Goff for the Los Angeles offense. Still, it appears Wolford is the clear favorite to secure the backup job over Josh Love and Bryce Perkins.

  • Tua Tagovailoa QB | ATL

    Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Looking healthy in practice

    Tagovailoa looked healthy Monday during the Dolphins' first padded practice of training camp, according to Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com.

    The report notes that Ryan Fitzpatrick remains the favorite to get the Week 1 start, but that's more about his experience and solid performance last season than anything to do with Tagovailoa's return from hip surgery. The No. 5 overall pick should see the field at some point this season, and his practice reps likely will be increased as the Dolphins progress through camp.

  • Jalen Hurts QB | PHI

    Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Starts off as No. 3 QB

    Coach Doug Pederson said Carson Wentz and Nate Sudfeld -- rather than Hurts -- will get most of the QB reps during training camp, Daniel Gallen of The Harrisburg Patriot-News reports.

    It isn't the first time Pederson has hinted at Hurts beginning his career as the No. 3 quarterback in Philadelphia. That said, the rookie took 16 snaps in a sharp performance at Monday's practice, while Sudfeld got 17 snaps and didn't play nearly as well, according to Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94 WIP. Even if Sudfeld enters Week 1 in the backup job, Hurts could oust him before the end of the season.

  • Patriots' Jarrett Stidham: Has good practice Monday

    Stidham, Cam Newton and Brian Hoyer split the Patriots' QB reps "fairly evenly" during Monday's practice, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

    Howe notes that Stidham "had the best day of the trio" Monday, but we wouldn't read too much into that, as we'd expect Newton -- the favorite to claim the team's top QB job -- to have sharp practice sessions of his own as he grows more comfortable with New England's offense.
