Petty (knee) will be given an MRI on Sunday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Petty currently sits third in the quarterback race for the offensively challenged Jets, and this certainly won't help in his quest to move up the ladder. He did complete 15 of 18 passes for 250 yards and three touchdowns prior to exiting Saturday's preseason game against the Giants.

Petty suffered a knee injury during Saturday's game against the Giants, Zach Braziller of the New York Post reports.

It's unclear at this time whether Petty will return, as the seriousness of the injury hasn't been disclosed.

Peterman completed 11 of 23 passes for 93 yards in Saturday's preseason game against Baltimore.

Tyrod Taylor was removed due to a concussion after the Bills' second drive, allowing Peterman to get the majority of first-team work. The rookie unsurprisingly was unable to build on his strong showings from the first two preseason games while facing much better competition, though he did at least avoid turnovers and only took one sack. It likely was enough to lock up the No. 2 spot on the depth chart, considering T.J. Yates was awful for a third straight week. Should Taylor fail to clear the NFL's concussion protocol within two weeks, Peterman would be in line to start the regular-season opener against the Jets.

Taylor was officially diagnosed with a concussion suffered during Saturday's game, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Taylor, who exited Saturday's preseason game against the Ravens to be evaluated for a head injury, has two weeks to clear the NFL's concussion protocol before facing the Jets in Week 1. If he isn't ready in time, the Bills likely will start fifth-round rookie Nathan Peterman.

Taylor exited Saturday's preseason game against the Ravens to be evaluated for a concussion, Mike Rodak of ESPN reports.

Taylor fell hard on the back of his head while getting sacked by a Ravens defender in the first quarter. He was taken to the locker room and replaced by rookie Nathan Peterman.

Wilson completed 13 of 19 passes for 200 yards and a score in Friday's preseason win over the Chiefs. He also added four yards rushing during the contest.

Playing into the third quarter, five of Wilson's 13 completions went for 20 or more yards. Wilson has now averaged more than 10 yards per attempt in all three of Seattle's preseason contests. Wilson's legs always make him a worthy fantasy starter, but Wilson really left his mark while airing it out deep in 2015 - tallying 34 passing touchdowns while posting a career high 8.3 yards per attempt. If the Seahawks toss it down the field during the season the way they have in the preseason, Wilson could be primed for a rebound season.

Stafford completed 15 of 22 passes for 190 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Friday's 30-28 preseason loss to the Patriots.

Though he struggled early on, Stafford found a groove as the first half progressed and led an 80-yard touchdown drive just before halftime, which he capped off with a touchdown pass to Marvin Jones. He proceeded to orchestrate another long scoring drive to open the second half and was pulled from the game at that point in favor of Jake Rudock. Though Stafford will sit out next week's preseason finale against the Bills, he demonstrated in this one that he's ready to go for the start of the regular season.

Heinicke (undisclosed) returned to practice Wednesday, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

While it doesn't look like he's seriously injured, his chances of making the 53-man roster may have taken a hit with the Vikings signing quarterback Mitch Leidner.

Goff is expected to receive approximately the same playing time against the Chargers on Saturday as he did against Oakland last week, Rich Hammond of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Goff completed 16 of 20 passes for 160 yards and a touchdown against the Raiders last week, and the first-team offense accumulated 17 points before calling it a night in the second quarter. The sophomore quarterback has impressed this offseason and in preseason action, but expectations should remain in check. While there is definitely reason for optimism, buoyed by the Rams' recent trade for talented wideout Sammy Watkins, it's way too early to consider Goff a consistent weekly option, and he's probably only worth owning in keeper/dynasty settings and two-QB formats at this stage of the game.

Trubisky is expected to start the second half of Sunday's preseason game at Tennessee with the first-team offense, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Under normal circumstances, Trubisky's arrival on the field wouldn't be a surprise in preseason Week 3, but the rookie actually worked with the first-teamers in practice for the first time Wednesday. After the session, head coach John Fox stated there's been "no change" to the quarterback depth chart, with Mike Glennon still in the top spot, per Adam Jahns of the Chicago Sun-Times. Instead, the Bears planned all along to work Trubisky into the first-team mix. The pseudo-promotion is warranted, as he's thoroughly outplayed Glennon to the tune of 24-for-33 passing for 226 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in two preseason appearances.
