Rodgers is among the key players who will be held out of Thursday's preseason finale against the Panthers, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Rodgers will sit out a third consecutive preseason game, as will No. 1 receiver DK Metcalf and star pass rushers T.J. Watt and Cameron Heyward. The veteran quarterback will have to wait until the Steelers' Week 1 opener to take on his former team, the Jets, on the road and make his debut in offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's scheme. Mason Rudolph will start under center once again Thursday.

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Tuesday that "a good amount" of the team's starters will sit out Friday's preseason finale against the Eagles, Fields presumably included, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Fields started New York's first two preseason games but handled a total of just three offensive possessions. Per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic, Fields has rarely thrown the ball downfield throughout training camp, with New York's offense instead focusing on the run game and short-area passes. That observation is reinforced by the fact that he's averaging just 3.9 air yards per attempt across his limited exhibition action, and that all four of Fields' targets to No. 1 receiver Garrett Wilson this preseason have fallen incomplete. Glenn admitted after Saturday's preseason loss to the Giants that "our passing game has to be better," saying that "our guys know we're going to put our heads down and go back to work." Fields' rushing abilities have been sufficient to provide fantasy upside in the past, but for him to enter the mix as a consistent QB1 this season, the Jets' passing game will have to establish a better rhythm before a Week 1 contest against Pittsburgh.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Tuesday that Rush will likely start Saturday's preseason game against the Commanders, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Harbaugh said he plans to sit his starters again versus Washington, just as Baltimore did during last Saturday's 31-13 preseason win over the Cowboys. During that contest, Rush completed 20 of 30 passes for 198 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions, and across his two exhibition appearances thus far Rush has thrown three INTs. While he still appears the favorite for the No. 2 quarterback role behind Lamar Jackson over second-year pro Devin Leary, it will serve Rush well to avoid any further turnovers versus the Commanders.

Sanders (oblique) isn't practicing but could return for Wednesday's session, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Sanders remains day-to-day after missing Cleveland's second preseason game due to an oblique injury, and his status remains uncertain for Saturday's exhibition finale against the Rams. In the wake of Joe Flacco being named the Browns' starter for Week 1, Stefanski said he's still not ready to name a No. 2 quarterback and that "these roles are not given out, they're earned," per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com. As such, Saturday's preseason game looks like a crucial opportunity for both Sanders and Kenny Pickett (hamstring) to get back on the practice field and compete with rookie third-rounder Dillon Gabriel for the backup gig. Veteran journeyman Tyler Huntley could also get some reps Saturday, though he has no clear path to the 53-man roster.

Stafford (back) is dressed for practice Tuesday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Stafford is ready to log back-to-back practices after having retaken the field Monday. Head coach Sean McVay said Monday that the veteran quarterback's practice workload will be flexible, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Stafford mix in rest days as the regular season approaches. It's still encouraging to see him continue ramping up without any pauses thus far, while getting reps with Puka Nacua and new starting wideout Davante Adams. An aggravated disc in his back had forced Stafford to sit out practice since June minicamp.

Willis will suit up for Saturday's preseason finale against the Seahawks, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Willis started the Packers' preseason win over the Colts last weekend, completing six of 14 passes for 83 yards while handling the first three possessions with Jordan Love (thumb) sidelined. While Love will get some work in during joint practices with Seattle this week, per Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site, the team's No. 1 quarterback hasn't yet been cleared for full-team reps as he recovers from last week's surgery to address an ulnar collateral ligament injury. Love is still fully expected to be ready for Week 1, so Willis will open the regular season in his usual backup role.

Richardson was informed Tuesday that he'll open the regular season backing up Daniel Jones, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

The former Giant didn't necessarily outplay Richardson over two preseason games, but Jones did remain healthy throughout spring practice and training camp, while the fourth overall pick in the 2023 Draft has dealt with shoulder and finger injuries. There's still a good chance Richardson eventually makes starts this season, given Jones' shaky track record with the Giants in terms of both durability and performance.

Jones has been named the starting quarterback for Week 1 against Miami, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Colts coach Shane Steichen reportedly informed Jones and Anthony Richardson of his decision Tuesday morning. There wasn't a decisive winner in the QB competition over two preseason games, but Jones seemingly made a better impression on the practice field this spring and summer. His poor track record with the Giants suggests Richardson is likely to make starts at some point this season, however.

Murray and Marvin Harrison have improved their rapport as training camp has progressed, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Most of the Cardinals' starting offense played the first two possessions of the team's preseason opener against Kansas City on Aug. 9, and Murray connected with Harrison once for 15 yards among his seven completions. During this past Saturday's exhibition loss to Denver, Murray didn't suit up, but that followed a joint practice in which the QB hooked up with Harrison on a handful of passes versus a tough Broncos secondary. Arizona didn't make any notable additions to its skill-position group this offseason, so the team is counting on Harrison to take a big leap forward in Year 2 and join tight end Trey McBride as one of Murray's top downfield options.

Burrow completed nine of 14 passes for 62 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 31-17 preseason win over Washington, leading the Bengals to 14 points on three drives.

Burrow curiously continued playing (and took a couple of extra hits) after Ja'Marr Chase, Chase Brown and other starters had been removed. The Bengals have scored touchdowns on four of Burrow's five drives this preseason, looking ready for a Week 1 AFC North clash at Cleveland.
