Tagovailoa isn't listed by the Dolphins among the players not expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Texans, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

The same applies to star WR Tyreek Hill, as it looks like the team's healthy starters will have an opportunity to see some reps Saturday. If so, it remains to be seen how long Tagovailoa plays, with Mike White and Skylar Thompson also available to see QB work as the game progresses.

Huntley (hamstring) isn't practicing Saturday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Huntley tweaked his hamstring during last Saturday's preseason contest against Philadelphia and didn't practice at all this week. The injury was initially described as minor, so the Ravens may be acting out of an abundance of caution in opting to hold him out. Huntley seems unlikely to play in Monday's exhibition game in Washington, but there's no indication that he's in danger of missing the start of the regular season.

Tannehill's fellow QB Malik Willis is expected to play for the duration of Saturday's preseason contest against the Vikings, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Per Davenport, Will Levis (lower body) is in line to sit out the game, which sets the stage for starter Ryan Tannehill to be rested Saturday, assuming Willis isn't forced to exit the contest. At this stage, it appears as though Tannehill's next game action will probably not occur until the Titans' regular-season opener against the Saints on Sept. 10.

Trask is in line to start Saturday's preseason game against the Jets, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Baker Mayfield got the start in the Bucs' first preseason game, and as planned, Trask gets the nod Saturday. Stroud suggests that depending on how many possessions the team has and the resulting success of them, the 2021 second-rounder could play into the second quarter. Trask will be followed by Mayfield as Tampa Bay's QB competition continues ahead of Week 1.

Bridgewater is slated to start Saturday's preseason game against the Jaguars, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

Per Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site, coach Dan Campbell noted this week that he didn't plan on playing the team's starters, so Bridgewater will have an opportunity to solidify his standing behind top QB Jared Goff, with Nate Sudfeld and Adrian Martinez on hand to follow Bridgewater on Saturday.

Willis is expected to be under center for the Titans for the entirety of Saturday's exhibition game against the Vikings, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Willis' big workload comes at the expense of Will Levis, who is dealing with a lower body issue. As a result, the second-year signal caller will get an opportunity to showcase his talents for a full game. He completed 16 of 25 passes for 189 yards and one interception in Tennessee's opening preseason contest against the Bears, while adding 22 yards and one touchdown across three carries on the ground. Willis alternated possessions with Levis in that contest.

Levis (lower body) will not play in Saturday's preseason game in Minnesota, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Levis exited Thursday's practice early due to a lower-body injury, and it looks like the Titans will opt to err on the side of caution with their second-round draft selection. As a result, second-year quarterback, Malik Willis is expected to play the full game under center. Levis has primarily worked as Tennessee's third-string quarterback so far during training camp.

DeVito completed nine of 11 pass attempts for 88 yards Friday in an exhibition victory versus Carolina. He added two yards on five rushes.

DeVito didn't toss any touchdown passes in the win, but he also didn't turn the ball over and showed efficiency with just two incompletions. The undrafted rookie did fine as well in the Giants' preseason opener last week, going 15-for-24 on pass attempts with one touchdown and one interception. Veteran Tyrod Taylor is locked in as Daniel Jones' backup for the coming campaign, so DeVito is likely playing for a spot on New York's practice squad.

Taylor completed nine of 13 pass attempts for 90 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions in Friday's preseason win over the Panthers. He added 21 rushing yards on three carries.

Taylor saw more action than in the Giants' first exhibition contest, when he attempted just four passes. The highlight of the veteran QB's night came when he hit rookie wideout Jalin Hyatt for a 33-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Taylor is locked in as New York's backup signal caller behind Daniel Jones for the coming campaign.

Jones completed eight of nine passes for 69 yards and a touchdown in Friday's preseason victory over the Panthers. He added six rushing yards on his only carry.

The fifth-year quarterback was only on the field for one possession, but Jones made the most of it, leading a 75-drive that culminated with a four-yard TD pass to tight end Daniel Bellinger. After signing a four-year, $160 million contract to remain with the Giants this offseason, the team is counting on Jones to take another step forward, but even in a career-best 2022 campaign, his YPA was still a meager 6.8 with only 15 passing TDs.
