Bennett completed 17 of 31 pass attempts for 213 yards, a touchdown and an interception and lost a fumble in Saturday's preseason win over the Chargers.

Bennett started and finished his second preseason game in as many weeks as starter Matthew Stafford and backup Jimmy Garoppolo (suspension) were sat by the coaching staff. The former Georgia star did not see the field as a rookie in 2023 but has now played every snap for the Rams so far this preseason. A repeat scenario figures to take place in the final exhibition before Bennett's roster situation is finalized behind the veterans on the depth chart.

Bean was 7-for-9 for 94 yards with an interception in Saturday's preseason win over Arizona. He also had four carries for 14 yards, including a one-yard touchdown run.

Bean has 4.55-second, 40-yard dash speed and there's been talk that he could be converted to wide receiver, but he's played quarterback for the Colts in the preseason. He's listed as QB/WR on the team's official web site. He's only nominally in the running for a roster spot, as the Colts may decide to develop him or change his position on the practice squad.

Wilson completed eight of 10 passes for 47 yards in Saturday's 9-3 preseason loss to the Bills.

Wilson's stat line was underwhelming, but it overstates how well Pittsburgh's first-team offense was able to move the ball. That wasn't necessarily on Wilson, as he was under constant pressure and sacked three times. He narrowly missed out on connecting with George Pickens near Buffalo's goal line on his final drive of the game, though the duo's rapport may be lacking after Wilson missed a significant amount of training camp with a calf injury. The Steelers have consistently stated that Wilson is the starting quarterback heading into the season, though this performance didn't do him any favors in his competition with Justin Fields.

Fields completed 11 of 17 passes for 92 yards in Saturday's 9-3 preseason loss to the Bills. He added eight rushes for 42 yards.

Fields followed Russell Wilson into the game and got his first series just before the two-minute warning in the first half. He worked with the second-team offense and led the team to field-goal range on his second possession on a drive that began with just over one minute remaining in the second quarter. Fields accounted for the biggest gain on the drive with a 20-yard scramble. In terms of passing, Fields primarily worked in the short areas of the field, though he did experience more success than Wilson from a statistical standpoint. He'll almost certainly see playing time in the Steelers' third preseason game at Detroit, though it remains to be seen if he gets the starting nod over Wilson as the quarterback competition remains unresolved in Pittsburgh.

Jones completed 16 of 23 passes for 210 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and added six rushes for 14 yards in the Jaguars' 20-7 preseason win over the Buccaneers.

Jones started and played the entire first half and returned for the fourth quarter after C.J. Beathard (groin) got injured. The 2021 first-round pick of the Patriots, who's looking for a career reset in Jacksonville as Trevor Lawrence's backup, was impressive throughout, and he connected with Parker Washington (25 yards) and Brevin Easton (31 yards) for his pair of touchdown tosses. The two scoring drives spanned 17 and eight plays, confidence-building marches that Jones was able to navigate without turnovers. Jones is likely to see a solid amount of playing time once again in the preseason finale against the Falcons in Atlanta on Friday night.

Stick completed eight of his 13 attempts for 85 yards and an interception in Saturday's 13-9 preseason loss to the Rams. He also carried the ball five times for 22 yards, but he did record a fumble.

That's now two bad showings for Stick, who seemed to have the backup quarterback job behind Justin Herbert (foot) locked up at the start of the preseason. It's unclear if the fifth-year veteran is really at risk of losing the positional battle despite the poor outings as projected third-string quarterback, Max Duggan, was a healthy inactive Saturday while training camp addition Luis Perez also struggled to some extent (13 of 20 for 78 yards and a fumble). Stick figures to have one more chance to solidify his standing on the active roster in the team's final preseason game against the Cowboys.

Allen did not participate in Saturday's 9-3 preseason win over the Steelers.

Allen was set to play well into the second quarter along with the entire starting offense. While most of the unit did take the field, Allen remained on the sideline in a ball cap with no pads. No official reason was given, but Buffalo likely pivoted its plans due to wet field conditions after rain came through Pittsburgh just before kickoff. As one of the most proven quarterbacks in the league, Allen doesn't necessarily need to appear in preseason action, though he does have a remade receiving corps. That could mean that he plays at least a few possessions in the team's final preseason contest next Saturday against Carolina.

Daniels completed 10 of 12 passes for 78 yards and rushed twice for 13 yards in the Commanders' 13-6 preseason loss to the Dolphins on Saturday night.

The rookie followed up an encouraging but brief appearance in the Commanders' preseason opener against the Jets with an even better performance Saturday night. Daniels played on Washington's first two series and remained busy throughout, having a hand in eight consecutive plays on the opening possession after Brian Robinson logged the first touch from scrimmage. Daniels led the team into field-goal territory on both drives, although placekicker Riley Patterson was able to make good on only one of those opportunities. Nevertheless, it was yet another feather in the summertime cap of the second overall pick, who appears ready to handle the challenge of the NFL regular season.

Wolford suffered a rib injury during Saturday's exhibition loss to Jacksonville, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Baker Mayfield didn't suit up for the contest, leaving Kyle Trask to play the first half and Wolford to handle the second. The latter couldn't complete the fourth quarter, as he was injured on a roughing the passer penalty with less than two minutes remaining, resulting in Trask reentering the game. Head coach Todd Bowles said after the matchup that he isn't sure how severe Wolford's injury is, but if the QB needs to miss the team's final exhibition game next Friday against Miami, his outside chance of unseating Trask for the backup role behind Mayfield could come to an end. As it is, Trask had the better performance Saturday, completing 12 of 19 pass attempts for 108 yards and a touchdown and adding one rush for four yards while Wolford completed just seven of 14 passes for 52 yards with no scores.

Tagovailoa completed all five passes for 51 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Dolphins' 13-6 preseason win over the Commanders on Saturday night.

Tagovailoa drew the start as planned, and even though he was operating without Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Odell Beckham (undisclosed), the fifth-year signal-caller still put together a flawless drive from his perspective. The 2020 first-round pick capped off the 11-play, 61-yard march with a 13-yard touchdown pass to River Cracraft, putting an early and successful end to his night. It remains to be seen if Saturday's brief appearance will represent the extent of Tagovailoa's preseason action, but he'll have one more chance to take the field before Week 1 in Friday night's road exhibition finale against the Buccaneers.
