Richardson completed two of four passes for 25 yards and rushed once for one yard in Sunday's 34-30 preseason loss to the Broncos.

Richardson played the first two drives, which didn't result in any points for the Colts. While his performance in this preseason opener was nothing to write home about, it's nonetheless encouraging to see the 2023 fourth overall pick taking part in game action again after a shoulder injury ended his rookie season in Week 5. Richardson will look to shake off the rust in the Colts' next preseason game, Saturday against the Cardinals.

Nix completed 15 of 21 passes for 125 yards and one touchdown while rushing three times for 17 yards in Sunday's 34-30 preseason win over the Colts.

Nix came into the game after Jarrett Stidham played the first two possessions, but the rookie looked much more effective while also getting a chance to work with the first-team offense for his first drive in the game. Stidham didn't produce any points on his two drives and threw an interception, while Nix led the offense to a field goal on his first possession before capping his second drive with a one-yard touchdown pass to Marvin Mims and adding another field goal in the two-minute drill. Nix showcased some playmaking ability with his legs prior to the touchdown pass, converting a third down with a six-yard scramble and taking off for an 11-yard gain on an option play three plays later. He led another touchdown drive to begin the third quarter before giving way to Zach Wilson, who also produced two touchdown drives. Denver's quarterback competition has yet to be decided, but Nix helped his case with Sunday's strong performance and is expected to start against the Packers in Denver's next preseason game.

Stidham started Sunday's 34-30 preseason win over the Colts and completed four of seven passes for 37 yards and one interception.

Stidham being the first quarterback in the game suggests he's in contention to win the starting job in the regular season after starting Denver's final two games in 2023, but he didn't do himself any favors with his performance Sunday. The 28-year-old quarterback failed to lead the offense to any points in two drives, and Stidham's final pass was picked off. Rookie 12th overall pick Bo Nix played the next five drives and produced 20 points, including a one-yard touchdown pass to Marvin Mims. Nix's arrow is pointing up in Denver's quarterback competition, but Stidham will have a chance to turn the tide in the next preseason game against the Packers, While Nix is expected to get the start, coach Sean Payton said Stidham will see more snaps next Sunday, per Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette.

Garoppolo is not expected to play in Sunday's preseason game against the Cowboys, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

Garoppolo did not appear among the quarterbacks suited up pregame, leaving Stetson Bennett as Dresser Winn to handle the Rams' signal-caller duties Sunday, according to Stu Jackson of the team's official site. Garoppolo is expected to serve as the No. 2 quarterback this season, though he'll still miss the first two regular-season games while serving a suspension for a violation of the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances. Therefore, Bennett and Winn are set to compete for the backup quarterback job to begin the 2024 campaign, so it's not too surprising that they'll be the ones under center for the team Sunday. Garoppolo's next chance to suit up this preseason will come during Saturday's exhibition against the Chargers.

Raiders coach Antonio Pierce said Sunday that he plans to name a starting quarterback between O'Connell and Gardner Minshew after Saturday's preseason game versus Dallas, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Pierce also said that O'Connell and Minshew are both slated to play at least one quarter during this exhibition with the Cowboys, which is in line with the playing time that they got during Saturday's 24-23 loss to Minnesota. O'Connell did ultimately start versus the Vikings, but he's been splitting first-team reps throughout training camp and appears to be on even footing with Minshew following the preseason opener. O'Connell was competent in his 11 regular-season appearances as a rookie last year, and he completed seven of nine passes for 76 yards during his lone offensive series against Minnesota. He'll also have a chance to separate himself during a week of practices before Saturday's game against Dallas.

Raiders coach Antonio Pierce said Sunday that he expects to name a starting quarterback between Minshew and Aidan O'Connell following Saturday's preseason game against Dallas, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Pierce said that Minshew and O'Connell will once again play at least one quarter during this upcoming game with Dallas. The two signal-callers have been splitting first-team reps throughout training camp, and, while O'Connell ultimately got the start during last Saturday's 24-23 loss to Minnesota, both quarterbacks saw relatively equal playing time, and neither appeared to separate themselves with their performances during the preseason opener. With this competition seemingly in a dead heat up to this point, it's likely that how Minshew and O'Connell perform against the Cowboys and during upcoming practices could weigh significantly in this final decision.

Taylor completed one of two passes for minus-1 yard in Saturday's 20-17 preseason win over the Commanders.

Taylor played the first two drives with the Jets holding out most of their starters, including Aaron Rodgers. The veteran backup didn't do much of note in his Jets debut, but Taylor isn't in any danger of losing the backup role to Jordan Travis (ankle) or Andrew Peasley, the latter of whom threw a touchdown pass on the next drive after Taylor exited the game. Taylor will likely see more extensive action in Saturday's preseason game against the Panthers.

Watson isn't expected to play Saturday versus Minnesota in Cleveland's second preseason contest, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Watson sat out the Browns' preseason opener against Green Bay and won't suit up for the second exhibition contest either. However, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports that the quarterback has been cleared for full contact and will get most of the reps in joint practices with the Vikings this week. It remains to be seen if Watson will participate in Cleveland's third and final preseason game Saturday, Aug. 24 against Seattle.

Lock (hip) will likely sit out of at least three practices, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.

The backup quarterback suffered a bone contusion and strained oblique during the Giants' preseason game Thursday against the Lions. Fortunately for Lock, the injury will not require surgery and New York is not adding another quarterback at this time, per Dunleavy. Lock's absence, though, should give third-stringer Tommy DeVito more reps in New York's next preseason contest Aug. 17 against the Texans.

Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Jones will likely play in Saturday's preseason game against the Texans, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.

Jones received full medical clearance ahead of training camp after completing his recovery from November surgery to repair an ACL tear, but the Giants nonetheless chose to hold him out of their 14-3 win over the Lions in the preseason opener Thursday. No. 2 quarterback Drew Lock received the start and suffered a hip injury that will keep him from suiting up in Houston, so Tommy DeVito now stands to operate as the top backup to Jones on Saturday. Daboll didn't go into specifics regarding how long Jones might stay in the game versus the Texans, but the 27-year-old signal-caller should at least get a series or two.
