Murray completed six of seven attempts for 44 yards in the Cardinals' 17-13 preseason win over the Chargers on Thursday.

Murray played 10 snaps on the team's first offensive drive, running the offense out of shotgun exclusively. Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports the rookie ran a variety of formations, including four wides on three different occasions and a three-wide set on another five plays. The near-perfect debut is encouraging, especially considering the relative complexity of the offense Murray is adapting to this summer. He'll likely see multiple series in the Cardinals' second preseason contest against the Raiders next Thursday.

Tannehill completed 12 of 16 pass attempts for 130 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in the team's preseason game against the Eagles.

Tannehill entered the game halfway through the first quarter and led the team to the end zone on two of his three drives. His night was highlighted by a 23-yard touchdown pass to a streaking Anthony Firkser down the middle of the field. Despite the solid performance, Tannehill should still be considered a clear-cut backup in Tennessee behind incumbent starter Marcus Mariota.

Barkley completed nine of 14 passes for 126 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in Thursday's preseason win over the Colts. He finished with a 117.0 rating.

The Bills are set at the top quarterback spot with Josh Allen, now and in the future, but Barkley has really cemented himself as a strong backup, dating back to a huge Week 10 performance over the Jets last season. He has no competition for the main backup role for 2019.

Jackson completed four of six passes for 59 yards and a touchdown during Thursday's 29-0 win over Jacksonville.

Baltimore gave Jackson three series to open the preseason and he helped put together two scoring drives all while not relying on his legs to gain yardage. Jackson didn't record a carry, but did make some nice throws including a 26-yard shot up the sideline to Chris Moore and a 10-yard quick out that Willie Snead took in for a touchdown. Everybody knows that Jackson will be a threat with his legs in his first full season as a starter. Thursday was a nice glimpse of his comfort in focusing his game in the pocket.

Grier completed nine of 16 passes for 77 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Thursday night's 23-13 preseason win over the Bears. He also rushed once for 20 yards.

Grier replaced Kyle Allen in the second quarter and was picked off shortly thereafter. However, following that disappointment, Grier responded with a touchdown drive to start the third quarter, finding fellow rookie Elijah Holyfield from seven yards out. In also adding a long run on the night, Grier can be relatively satisfied with his debut and still looks likely to earn the Panthers' backup quarterback job.

Allen completed seven of 11 passes for 76 yards in Thursday night's 23-13 preseason win over the Bears.

Allen got the start to kick off Carolina's exhibition slate, and although the offense was forced to punt on its first series, Allen engineered a couple consecutive field-goal drives afterward. He was then replaced by rookie third-rounder Will Grier in the second quarter, and Grier would pass for 77 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Although Grier is favored to win the Panthers' second-string gig, Allen at least did alright for himself in a leading role Thursday.

Walker completed eight of 18 passes for 85 yards with an interception in Thursday's preseason loss at Buffalo.

Walker is battling Chad Kelly for the No. 3 QB role, and after one game, he was outplayed by Kelly. The Colts usually don't keep a third quarterback on the active roster, but that could change with Andrew Luck's lingering calf injury.

Jones completed all five of his passes for 67 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's preseason opener against the Jets.

Jones watched Eli Manning lead the offense to a 3-and-out on the opening drive, then announced his presence by completing every one of his passes on the next drive, which Jones capped with a 12-yard touchdown pass to Bennie Fowler. The Giants have been doubted ad nauseam for selecting Jones sixth overall in the 2019 draft, but the pick didn't look like such a reach given his performance Thursday. This was just a one-drive sample size, though, and Jones will need to keep this level up moving forward if he wants to challenge Manning for the starting job under center this season.

Sudfeld will undergo surgery Friday morning after suffering a broken left wrist Thursday night against the Titans, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

Sudfeld is expected to miss the next few months while on the mend, giving Clayton Thorson and Cody Kessler a shot to compete for the backup job. The Eagles have yet to provide a timetable for Sudfeld's return, but a better idea of his availability should come after his surgery.

Keenum completed four of nine passes for 60 yard and a touchdown and added a 10-yard run during Thursday's 30-10 loss to Cleveland.

All eyes were on rookie Dwayne Haskins on Thursday, but Keenum provided Washington with one of its few highlights, launching a 46-yard bomb to a wide-open Robert Davis for the team's only touchdown. After battling it out with Colt McCoy this offseason, Keenum is penciled in at No. 2. That's no man's land on a team that figures to start a veteran early, but eventually put Haskins on display at some point this season.
