Siemian received the majority of first-team reps during Monday's practice, the Broncos' official site reports.

Siemian reportedly connected on a host of deep balls during his repetitions, including strikes to top receivers Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas. The lone holdover from last year's quarterback room, Siemian has reportedly been giving presumed starter Mark Sanchez a run for his money this offseason. Unlike Sanchez, he failed to lead Denver to a touchdown in the preseason opener, but he just missed on several opportunities. Also unlike Sanchez, he did not turn the ball over.

Gradkowski, who is dealing with a left hamstring injury, is going to be out for "a number of weeks," per coach Mike Tomlin, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

The veteran QB could miss the rest of the preseason. In Gradkowski's absence, Dustin Vaughan figures to see added practice reps behind Ben Roethlisberger and Landry Jones.

Bradford and the other offensive starters may play into the second quarter of Thursday's preseason game against the Steelers, Martin Frank of the Delaware News Journal reports.

Bradford is expected to play at least one full quarter, but should be out of the game well before halftime. He seemingly has the starting job locked down, and the Eagles have now turned their attention to the rest of the offense, trading for WR Dorial Green-Beckham on Tuesday. Although he won't be available for Thursday's game, Green-Beckham still has time to push for a key role before Week 1.

Goff (shoulder) threw at Monday's practice without any restrictions, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN reports.

Coach Jeff Fisher is labeling the left shoulder soreness as "no concern" with the Rams heading into padded practice Tuesday. The rookie originally noticed the soreness during Saturday's preseason game, but downplayed the severity from the start.

Driskel completed just four of his 12 pass attempts for 20 yards Sunday, but he showed off his rushing ability by gaining 61 yards on five carries in a preseason loss to the Texans.

This snapshot of Driskel paints a perfect picture of what type of quarterback he is right now, an unpolished arm with athleticism. While his throwing didn't inspire confidence in San Francisco's coaching staff, he moved up the depth chart after Thad Lewis suffered a season-ending knee injury. With the way things stand, Driskel will either start the year as a third quarterback or end up on the practice squad.

Lewis suffered a torn ACL during Sunday's preseason opener and will now miss the remainder of this season, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports.

Lewis was forced out during the third quarter of Sunday's game, when he was the second signal-caller used in wake of Colin Kaepernick (shoulder) being sidelined. However, now that his season has already come to a close, rookie Jeff Driskel should see more reps behind Kaepernick and Blaine Gabbert.

Gradkowski suffered a torn hamstring during the Steelers' opening preseason game last Friday, ESPN.com reports.

Gradkowski missed all of last season due to shoulder and hand injuries, so his hamstring problem only adds to his health issues. With Landry Jones cemented as the Steelers' No. 2 quarterback, Pittsburgh is fine behind Ben Roethlisberger, but Gradkowski's injury may open up their third-string job.

Rodgers' status for Thursday's preseason game against the Raiders remains unclear, ESPN's Rob Demovsky reports.

Rodgers sat out the Packers' preseason game Friday, and as of now, it's uncertain whether coach Mike McCarthy will have him play in this week's subsequent exhibition. McCarthy indicated Monday that Rodgers' status will be influenced by which offensive linemen ultimately play, thus ensuring any risk is as minimal as possible. Rodgers obviously doesn't need many preseason snaps to be prepared for Week 1, so it's really just a matter of when those snaps will come in Green Bay's remaining preseason slate.

Savage was the second quarterback to play in Sunday's preseason opening win over the 49ers. He completed 14-of-24 passes for 168 yards and two touchdowns.

All the caveats about playing against second- and third-teamers apply, but it was a positive showing for the third-year quarterback, who missed all of 2015 with a shoulder injury. He's competing for the backup job with Brandon Weeden, who mopped up the final five minutes of the game.

Gabbert completed four of 10 passes for 63 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's preseason game against the Texans.

Gabbert produced seven points on three drives, connecting with Vance McDonald for a 43-yard, catch-and-run touchdown on his final snap of the evening. The San Francisco passing game otherwise struggled, and Carlos Hyde lost a fumble that was returned for a touchdown. Recent reports suggest the starting job is Gabbert's to lose, but Colin Kaepernick (sore shoulder) still has to make his case, despite sitting out Sunday's game. The two are listed as co-starters on the depth chart.
