Perry signed a contract with the Texans on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Perry spent 2022 on the Jaguars' practice squad, but he ended up with Houston after being waived. The 24-year-old recently played for the Panthers of the USFL and will now work to earn a spot on the Texans' roster. He appears to have been brought in at a time when Case Keenum is unavailable. Keenum did not finish practice Saturday and was uninvolved Sunday due to an apparent leg injury, per Wilson.

Huntley left Saturday's preseason contest late with a hamstring tweak, but the issue is expected to be minor, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Huntley was sharp in his limited action, completing eight of 11 passes for 88 yards and a touchdown while rushing twice for 13 yards in the 20-19 win. The Ravens were presumably being precautionary when they sent the undrafted fourth-year quarterback to the locker room, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Huntley miss a couple practices this week to make sure he's back to 100 percent before next Monday's preseason matchup in Washington.

Ehlinger was 8-for-9 passing for 72 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in Saturday's preseason loss at Buffalo. He also add two carries for 10 yards.

Ehlinger entered the game in the second half as the third quarterback to play. He was efficient in facing the second- and third-team defense. While he's nominally said to be in the competition for the starting job, he more likely is fighting to keep a spot on the roster, with Gardner Minshew and Anthony Richardson ahead of him.

Bennett completed 17 of 29 passes for 191 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions and rushed twice for two yards in the Rams' 34-17 preseason loss to the Chargers on Saturday night.

Bennett came in on the Rams' fourth possession and remained in the game the rest of the way, overcoming a slow start that saw him open with three straight incompletions. The rookie fourth-round selection and two-time college national champion connected with Puka Nacua for a 10-yard touchdown pass late in the first half for his first NFL scoring toss, and he also hit the fifth-round pick for a 17-yard gain on his first completion. Bennett could conceivably beat out Brett Rypien for the No. 2 job behind Matthew Stafford with a strong enough preseason, although given the veteran's recent injury history, head coach Sean McVay may be more comfortable entrusting that role to a player who at least has a modicum of regular-season experience.

Minshew was 6-for-6 passing for 72 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in Saturday's preseason loss at Buffalo.

Minshew came into the game in the second quarter after Anthony Richardson got the start. Minshew was efficient despite being under pressure, as the second-team offensive line struggled at times. Richardson held his own in his first start, and unless he takes a big step backward later in the preseason he's likely to start the regular season opener over Minshew. However, no decisions have been made and Minshew has shown he gives the team a reliable, if unspectacular, option.

Tune completed 13 of 23 passes for 135 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Friday's 18-17 preseason win versus the Broncos.

After Colt McCoy got the first chance to lead the Cardinals offense in place of the recovering Kyler Murray (knee), Tune entered on the team's second possession and took the next eight drives, including a kneel-down right before halftime. Tune finally got Arizona on the board with back-to-back scores (a field goal and a TD connection with WR Kaden Davis) on his last two possessions. Tune likely will continue to get extended run during exhibition season, with his next opportunity coming Saturday, Aug. 19 against the Chiefs.

Huntley completed eight of 11 passes for 88 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions and rushed twice for 13 yards in the Ravens' 20-19 preseason win over the Eagles on Saturday night.

Huntley checked into the game to open the second half and immediately helmed a 13-play, 75-yard drive that he capped off with a 10-yard touchdown pass to Tylan Wallace. The veteran remained in the game for one more drive before giving way to Anthony Brown, and as his numbers imply, he certainly did nothing to hurt his presumed standing as the No. 2 quarterback. Huntley will continue to tune up for the regular season when the Ravens face the Commanders on the road Monday night, Aug. 21 in their second preseason contest.

Lawrence completed five passes for 36 yards and a touchdown, with his only missed throw being an interception in Saturday's preseason opener against Dallas.

Head coach Doug Pederson said that the starters would be limited to one or two series, but Lawrence wound up playing in three after throwing an interception on his second attempt, resulting in a 32-second first drive. The top pick from the 2021 Draft bounced back from the turnover like he did so many times last year, finishing the day on a high note with a TD pass to Christian Kirk. Lawrence also got his new weapon, Calvin Ridley, involved for what is shaping up to be a dynamic passing offense in Jacksonville this season.

Herbert isn't in line to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Rams, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Nearly three weeks after inking a five-year, $262.5 million extension with the Chargers, Herbert unsurprisingly won't put anything on the line in the team's exhibition opener. With the change at offensive coordinator from Joe Lombardi to Kellen Moore, though, L.A. likely will do its due diligence and get the first-team offense some snaps together before Week 1. Herbert's next chance for game action is Sunday, Aug. 20 versus the Saints.

Morgan completed five of eight pass attempts for 36 yards, no touchdowns and an interception while rushing twice for minus-1 yard during Friday's 27-17 preseason win over the Buccaneers.

Morgan joined the Steelers as an undrafted free agent during the offseason after five seasons at Minnesota. He was the last quarterback to see the field for Pittsburgh on Friday, and he had limited production. The Steelers also have Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph returning for 2023, so Morgan seems like a long shot to make the team's 53-man roster.
