McCoy suggests he's had no setbacks with his right leg, but acknowledged there's still no timetable for when he'll be 100 percent, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Per the report, at this stage, McCoy's main issue remains "an inability to fully push off when passing." Meanwhile, Adam Schefter of ESPN relays that coach Jay Gruden is also uncertain about when McCoy might return. "Oh man, it might not be the end of camp, it might be two or three weeks into the season," Gruden said Sunday. "We don't know yet." With that, McCoy's chances of being the team's Week 1 starter at QB are dwindling, which makes Case Keenum the favorite to handle the assignment.

Rudolph was 10-of-15 for 77 yards passing in the Steelers' 17-7 preseason win over the Chiefs on Saturday.

This was Rudolph's second solid outing and he has clearly outperformed Joshua Dobbs in the battle for the backup quarterback job. Although he still is listed behind Dobbs on the depth chart, the final two games of the preseason could see that change.

Mariota remains in line to be the Titans' Week 1 starter at QB, backed up by Ryan Tannehill, Joe Rexrode of the Athletic reports.

That's a notion also put forth by Erik Bacharach of the Tennessean. Mariota's perch atop the posted depth chart is not something we expected to discuss at this stage, but as John Glennon of the Athletic notes, there's been some recent speculation that a QB competition between Mariota and Ryan Tannehill could be brewing. Tannehill is one of the NFL's more qualified backups, but his presence doesn't seem to be a threat to the short-term job security of Tennessee's incumbent starter. The story could be quite different if Mariota struggles come September.

Coach Jay Gruden reiterated Sunday that the team won't rush McCoy (leg) into game action, then adding, "I don't anticipate him being out too long," John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Per the report, the main problem for McCoy at this stage is pushing off his right leg. Though Gruden's quote suggests the QB's current issue isn't viewed as something major, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington hints that it could impact McCoy's status early on in the regular season. In the absence of a concrete timetable for McCoy's return, it seems increasingly likely that Case Keenum will land the team's Week 1 starting QB assignment.

Walker was 10-of-17 passing for 109 yards with no interceptions or touchdowns in Saturday's preseason loss to Cleveland.

Walker improved from his subpar first preseason game, but he was outperformed by Chad Kelly again in the battle for the third-QB role. However, with Kelly set to miss the first two games of the regular season due to a suspension, Walker could begin the season as the third quarterback. The Colts may keep a third quarterback on the roster, which they usually don't do, given Andrew Luck's questionable status for the start of the season due to ankle and calf injuries.

McCoy (foot/leg) wasn't spotted at practice Sunday, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

McCoy didn't play in Thursday's preseason loss to the Bengals and his current absence puts a pause on his efforts to re-enter the conversation when it comes to claiming Washington's top QB assignment for Week 1. Though the team's posted preseason depth chart still lists McCoy ahead of Case Keenum and Dwayne Haskins, Ben Standig of the Athletic relays that coach Jay Gruden notes starting is "not even in the equation right now (for McCoy) until he's healthy. Once I get the word he's 100 percent healthy, then we'll start talking about the competition." With the regular season looming, the odds favor Keenum drawing the nod Sept. 8 against the Eagles, but Washington's QB situation remains fluid enough at this stage that McCoy could quickly make up ground once he's able to practice again without restriction.

Prescott completed five of five pass attempts for 64 yards during Saturday's 14-10 win over the Rams.

Prescott didn't miss a throw for the second straight exhibition contest, leading his team on an impressive 97-yard touchdown drive before taking a seat for the remainder of the night. He connected with five different pass catchers and finished averaging a healthy 12.8 yards per attempt. Prescott hasn't received his desired contract extension, but there's still time to get it done before Week 1. He'll likely get more snaps in next Saturday's preseason game against the Titans.

Tannehill completed seven of his 11 pass attempts for 84 yards and a touchdown in the Titans' second preseason contest against the Patriots.

Tannehill led the Titans offense for three possessions, the first of which resulted in a touchdown. He displayed a particular connection with tight end Anthony Firkser, completing passes of 22 and 10 yards to him. Overall, Tannehill has played well to start his tenure in Tennessee, completing 19 of 27 pass attempts for 214 yards and three touchdowns through two preseason games. Despite that, he remains positioned behind Marcus Mariota on the quarterback depth chart.

Watson completed five of seven attempts for 60 yards and a touchdown while also gaining seven yards on his sole rush in the Texans' 30-23 preseason win over the Lions on Saturday.

Watson logged only one series in his first taste of preseason action, but considering it was an 11-play, 75-yard drive that culminated in a four-yard touchdown pass to DeAndre Hopkins, that was all head coach Bill O'Brien needed to see. Watson was sharp throughout, connecting with Darren Fells, DeAndre Carter and Hopkins during the possession. Watson may also see some time in next Saturday's exhibition against the Cowboys before sitting out the preseason finale versus the Rams the following Thursday.

Mahomes completed two of five passes for 11 yards and rushed once for eight yards in the Chiefs' 17-7 preseason loss to the Steelers on Saturday.

There'd been pregame speculation that Mahomes could play until halftime, but that wasn't anywhere close to what came to pass. The Pro Bowl signal-caller ended up logging just two series and connected with his two most important pass catchers, Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce, for his pair of completions. Mahomes could end up seeing the extended playing time that was expected when Kansas City faces off with the 49ers in their third preseason contest Saturday.
