Morris played the second half of Saturday's preseason win over Buffalo and was 5-of-9 passing for 104 yards with a touchdown.

Morris is batting Scott Tolzien for the backup quarterback job, but he's a long shot to overtake him for the role. It's not clear if he'll make the roster, as the Colts may not keep three quarterbacks.

Keenum completed six of seven passes for 58 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in Saturday's 28-24 preseason victory over the Cowboys. He gained three yards on his sole rush.

The Rams' likely Week 1 starter played the first three possessions and garnered most of his numbers on the second one, which culminated in a 14-yard rushing touchdown by tailback Benny Cunningham. Keenum was sharp on that drive in particular, connecting with Lance Kendricks, Brian Quick, Cunningham and Kenny Britt on the way down the field. It was a solid start for Keenum, who is expected to take the reins of the offense to start the season while No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff waits his turn on the sideline.

Prescott completed 10 of 12 passes for 139 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in Saturday's 28-24 preseason loss to the Rams. He also gained 13 yards on two rushes.

The 2016 fourth-round pick was razor-sharp while getting the starting nod in his first taste of NFL action. Prescott leveraged the advantage of making his debut with the majority of the Cowboys' first-string offense, looking good from the outset and connecting with Dez Bryant twice on the opening drive, one for a leaping and contested touchdown by the left pylon. Prescott then came back on his second possession to lay a perfect pass over the shoulder of Terrance Williams down the left sideline for a second touchdown, putting a fitting cap on his stellar performance. While all of the typical caveats regarding preseason performances certainly apply, the Mississippi State product undeniably provided encouraging returns in his first time out.

Mariota completed all five of his passes for 45 yards in Saturday's preseason opener against the Chargers.

Mariota is the unquestioned starter in Tennessee, and the 2015 second overall pick will be looking to improve on an up-and-down rookie season in which he posted 19 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. An upgraded rushing attack is likely to benefit the former Oregon star after teams were able to key on the pass in 2015, but he lacks reliable receiving options outside of tight end Delanie Walker.

Taylor completed just 2 of 3 passes for seven yards in Saturday's preseason opener against the Colts.

Nothing to see here, as the Bills were cautious with their clear-cut starter. The dual-threat quarterback is an intriguing fantasy option given his combination of security and rushing ability. Taylor didn't scramble in this one, but is more than capable of doing so after rushing for 568 yards in 2015. EJ Manuel and Cardale Jones split the remainder of reps after his exit.

Goff experienced soreness in his non-throwing shoulder during Saturday's game and did not complete one of the series he was planning to play, Jack Wang of the Los Angeles Daily News reports. "It's fine," Goff said after the game. "I've played through much worse. Little precautionary thing."

Goff reportedly felt stiffness in the shoulder at halftime after taking a hit, and it was decided to err on the side of caution with the Rams' promising rookie. There are no real concerns of Goff missing any time, and the No. 1 overall draft pick should be back at practice this week.

Wilson completed three of six passes for 34 yards and an interception in his only drive of Saturday's preseason opener against the Chiefs.

The elusive quarterback didn't have a rushing attempt as the Seahawks played it safe with their starter. While a red-zone interception is never good, it's unlikely to be a common occurrence once the games start counting since Wilson threw just eight last year along with 34 touchdowns and 4,024 yards.

Jones, who entered Saturday's preseason game with 9:11 left in the third quarter, completed 11 of 21 passes for 162 yards and a touchdown.

The touchdown almost won it, but the Bills couldn't complete a two-point conversion and lost by a point. Coach Rex Ryan liked Jones' poise, an area Jones struggled with when he entered spring practices. He'll begin the year as the No. 3 quarterback, but a 93.8 rating in his first pro appearance shows that maybe the Bills weren't too crazy for betting on his long-term upside, given his size and athletic ability.

Vaughan completed six of 11 passes for 50 yards in Friday's preseason loss to Detroit.

Vaughan hardly looked impressive, taking three sacks and fumbing once. He is competing for a backup quarterback role with Landry Jones and Bruce Gradkowski, the latter suffering a hamstring injury after attempting just three passes.

Stafford completed four of six passes for 58 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in Friday's 30-17 preseason victory over the Steelers. He also gained five yards on his one rush and lost a fumble.

Stafford was relatively effective during his brief time in the game, converting three third downs, including a 30-yard pass to the newly acquired Anquan Boldin. However, he was subsequently sacked and stripped of the ball by James Harrison on the same drive, giving possession to the Steelers. The Pro Bowl quarterback figures to see more extended action next Thursday versus the Bengals.
