Stafford (hamstring) is participating in team drills at the start of Tuesday's practice, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Stafford was limited to individual work in his return to practice Monday, but he's now resumed handling normal reps. That's enough to alleviate any concerns about the 36-year-old signal-caller's health, though the plan for Los Angeles all along has been for Stetson Bennett to start Saturday's preseason finale against the Texans. The Rams also expect second-year wideout Puka Nacua (hamstring) to be available Week 1 versus the Lions, so with Cooper Kupp also entering the 2024 season healthy, Stafford will have both his top wideouts available to kick off the season.

Coach Jim Harbaugh said Herbert (foot) "looked great with a capital G" during 7-on-7 drills Monday, ESPN.com reports.

Herbert was held out of 11-on-11s in his first practice since being diagnosed July 31 with a plantar fascia injury. He used a walking boot for two weeks and is now progressing through what the Chargers are calling a 'gradual return to play' protocol. Herbert should be ready for a Week 1 home game against the Raiders, but it's fair to wonder if the foot injury will impact his mobility or become a problem again as the season progresses.

Haener completed seven of 13 passes for 76 yards during Sunday's 16-10 preseason loss to the 49ers. He also logged one rush for two yards.

Haener was the first Saints' quarterback to follow starter Derek Carr during the team's preseason opener, but he flipped spots with rookie Spencer Rattler on Sunday. However, neither quarterback performed particularly well, as both failed to lead a touchdown drive against the 49ers. They also both played exactly 24 offensive snaps. With the competition for the No. 2 quarterback spot apparently at a dead heat, it's likely that New Orleans' final decision on this job could come down to the coming week's practices followed by the preseason finale against Tennessee on Sunday, Aug. 25.

Rattler completed four of eight passes for 27 yards and logged three rushes for five yards during Sunday's 16-10 preseason defeat versus the 49ers. He also lost one fumble and was sacked twice.

e Rattler seemingly took a step back after his strong preseason debut. The fifth-round rookie took over from starter Derek Carr midway through the second quarter, marking a change from the presason opener when second-year quarterback Jake Haener first followed Carr. However, Rattler got off to a rough start right away when he was strip-sacked on his fourth snap of the game Sunday, and the Saints finished with three points across Rattler's four offensive series. Haener and Rattler wound up playing exactly 24 offensive snaps against San Francisco, though neither seemed to separate themselves with their performances. Therefore, the competition for the team's No. 2 quarterback spot could come down to the preseason finale versus Tennessee on Sunday, Aug. 25.

The Bills signed Brown on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Brown was waived by the Raiders last week but will sign with Buffalo after going unclaimed. The 26-year-old will now have the opportunity to compete with Ben DiNucci to be Josh Allen's backup, as Mitch Trubisky is sidelined with a knee injury.

The Panthers placed Luton (undisclosed) on injured reserve Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Luton appeared in each of the Panthers' first two preseason contests, but he's now landed on IR with an undisclosed injury. The 2020 sixth-round pick out of Oregon State was likely in line to be Carolina's fourth option at QB before sustaining this injury. Now that Luton has landed on IR, he'll be forced to miss all of 2024 unless he and the Panthers agree on an injury settlement at some point this season.

Beathard (groin) won't play in Friday's preseason finale against the Falcons according to head coach Doug Pederson, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Beathard suffered the injury during Saturday's exhibition game against the Buccaneers and was unable to play in the fourth quarter. The Iowa product is currently battling former Patriots quarterback Mac Jones for the backup role behind Trevor Lawrence, and it's unclear how much his unavailability for the team's final preseason contest may impact his chances of sticking on the roster.

Herbert (foot) was present for practice Monday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Herbert is bouncing back from a plantar fascia injury, and after having shed his walking boot last week, the QB is back on the practice field for the first time this month. It remains to be seen when Herbert will be able to work without restrictions, but either way he's trending toward being available for the Chargers' season opener against the Raiders on Sunday, Sept. 8.

Coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Allen and the starters will not suit up for Saturday's preseason finale against the Panthers, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

Allen also sat out last weekend's 9-3 exhibition win over the Steelers, though McDermott initially said the plan for that game was for starters to play a quarter and a half. Now, McDermott says plans have changed due to team-wide injury considerations. Allen remains at 100 percent form and has avoided injuries throughout training camp, but wide receiver Curtis Samuel (turf toe) is considered week-to-week, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (neck) could miss multiple weeks, so it makes sense for Buffalo to prioritize health at this stage.

Trubisky (knee) is expected to miss multiple weeks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Trubisky left Saturday's preseason contest in Pittsburgh due to a knee injury, and based on Monday's report, the QB's Week 1 status is unclear. When healthy, Trubisky is slated to be Josh Allen's top backup, but for now Ben DiNucci profiles as the Bills' No. 2 signal-caller.
