DeVito completed 17 of 20 passes for 198 yards and three touchdowns in Thursday's 42-10 preseason win over the Patriots.

DeVito may have earned himself a job Thursday night, be it in New York or elsewhere. The Giants might even consider keeping four QBs on their initial regular-season roster, with DeVito seemingly stuck behind Russell Wilson, Jaxson Dart and Jameis Winston. Alternatively, they could seek a trade for Winston or DeVito, or try to sneak DeVito onto the practice squad.

Dart completed six of 12 passes for 81 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 42-10 preseason win over New England, adding one carry for 23 yards.

He played the first four drives, two of which resulted in touchdowns, although one of those was thrown by Jameis Winston after Dart took a hard hit and was evaluated for a concussion. Dart cleared protocol, with Giants coach Brian Daboll saying afterward that the rookie merely had the wind knocked out of him, per Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site. Daboll has made it clear that Russell Wilson will be his Week 1 starter, but any struggles for the 36-year-old inevitably will lead to calls for Dart, who finished his inaugural preseason completing 32 of 47 passes for 372 yards (7.9 YPA) and three TDs, with no turnovers and two sacks. He also had six carries for 52 yards and a TD, showing an element of his game that may be crucial for fantasy value whenever he ends up making starts.

Rudolph completed six of eight passes for 36 yards, with no touchdowns and one interception, in a 19-10 preseason loss to Carolina on Thursday.

The Steelers played most of their starters for three drives, but they held out QB Aaron Rodgers and WR DK Metcalf, giving Rudolph a chance to play with the first-team offense and throw to a rotating cast of wide receivers. Rudolph failed to produce even a field goal attempt on three drives, while fellow Steelers quarterback Skylar Thompson concluded his strong preseason with 152 yards and a TD on 13 pass attempts Thursday night. Rudolph was considered safe in his backup job earlier this summer, especially after sixth-round pick Will Howard suffered a hand injury, but the Steelers may now want to keep Thompson around or even consider moving him ahead of Rudolph. Either way, Aaron Rodgers will start Week 1 against the Jets.

Sudfeld was released by the 49ers on Thursday.

Sudfeld joined the 49ers on Tuesday but his time with the team was short-lived. He was out of the league in 2024, so it's unclear when his next opportunity may come.

Mordecai signed with the 49ers on Thursday.

Mordecai has bounced on and off the 49ers' roster this preseason but rejoins the team after Mac Jones (knee) was ruled out for the preseason finale. Mordecai will almost certainly not make the roster as final cutdowns occur, but he is a candidate for the practice squad.

Maye isn't in uniform in advance of Thursday's preseason game at the Giants, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

Maye logged two drives apiece in both of the Patriots' first two exhibitions, completing seven of 12 passes for 58 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions, rushing twice for 16 yards and a TD and losing a fumble. He thus has a number of reps under his belt ahead of his second campaign after throwing for 2,276 yards and a 15:10 TD:INT on 66.6 percent passing and turning 54 carries into 421 yards and two scores in 13 regular-season appearances (12 starts) as a rookie.

Howard (hand) isn't suited up for Thursday's preseason contest at Carolina, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Howard sustained a broken small bone in his right hand in practice on Aug. 5 and missed the Steelers' first two exhibitions as a result. Thursday's absence will make it a third in a row, meaning the rookie sixth-round pick likely is destined to kick off the campaign as the team's No. 3 QB behind Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph.

Dalton (elbow) isn't in line to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Steelers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Dalton injured his right elbow last Saturday versus the Texans and eventually was diagnosed with a muscle strain in his elbow area. Carolina already wasn't playing its starters in the exhibition finale, but a number of key reserves like Dalton also won't be available. He'll now focus his attention to getting healthy for a Week 1 road matchup with the Jaguars on Sunday, Sept. 7, while Jack Plummer and Bryce Perkins will direct this offense Thursday with Bryce Young also in street clothes.

Broncos coach Sean Payton said Thursday that Nix and the starters will play 8-10 snaps in Saturday's preseason finale against the Saints, Luca Evans of The Denver Post reports.

Payton is simply confirming the plan he'd previously set out for Denver's preseason finale. Nix played early into the second quarter of the Broncos' preseason opener then sat out the team's second exhibition matchup. He'll get a chance to play one or two drives Saturday with a wide receiver corps that saw Devaughn Vele depart for New Orleans via trade Wednesday, leading to Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant and Trent Sherfield climbing the depth chart.

Lance will start Saturday's preseason finale against the 49ers and play one or two possessions, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Lance will command the Chargers' second-team offense Saturday while the team's starters rest. Los Angeles' plan is then for Taylor Heinicke to enter in relief of Lance and play a series or two, after which DJ Uiagalelei will close out the exhibition matchup. Lance and Heinicke are in competition for the No. 2 quarterback gig behind Justin Herbert.
