Trubisky completed one of four pass attempts for 10 yards, no touchdowns and an interception during Friday's 27-17 preseason win over Tampa Bay.

Although Trubisky lost his starting job with the Steelers early in the 2023 campaign, he landed a two-year contract extension with the team during the offseason. Kenny Pickett is the clear top starting option for the Steelers ahead of the regular season, so Trubisky's performances don't carry as much weight this preseason. However, Pittsburgh also has Mason Rudolph and Tanner Morgan in the quarterback room, and it's possible one of them challenges Trubisky for the No. 2 job if he continues to struggle.

Hurts isn't slated to play in Saturday's preseason game at Baltimore, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

While Hurts was suited up for pregame warmups, he and the rest of the Eagles starters won't be available for the team's exhibition opener. With Hurts sidelined, Marcus Mariota, Ian Book and Tanner McKee are the options to man quarterback for Philadelphia. Hurts' next chance for game action will arrive this coming Thursday against the Browns.

Taylor completed three of four pass attempts for seven yards in Friday's exhibition loss to Detroit. He added two rushes for seven yards.

Taylor started the contest for New York and played on two drives before giving way to Tommy DeVito, who took the remainder of the snaps behind center. Taylor's biggest play was a 13-yard completion to Isaiah Hodgins that helped set up a Graham Gano field goal. The veteran quarterback is expected to back up starter Daniel Jones for the second straight season.

Levis completed nine of 14 pass attempts for 85 yards and one interception in Tennessee's preseason game against Chicago on Saturday.

Levis played off the bench while Malik Willis started, but the two went on to rotate between several series at a time. Preseason rarely offers conclusive insights and this game is no exception, so it's probably best not to read into the results too much. With that said, it seems Levis fared a little more poorly than Willis, who completed 16 of 25 pass attempts for 189 yards and one interception while adding 22 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Both quarterbacks badly struggled with managing the pass rush, yet Willis' four sacks versus 25 pass attempts doesn't look quite as bad as Levis' four sacks versus 14 pass attempts. The competition to back up Ryan Tannehill figures to go on between Levis and Willis for some time.

Willis completed 16 of 25 pass attempts for 189 yards and one interception in Tennessee's preseason game against Chicago on Saturday, adding 22 yards and one touchdown on three carries.

Willis started but then rotated series with second-round pick rookie Will Levis, who finished 9-of-14 for 85 yards and an interception. Both quarterbacks struggled to handle the pass rush, as each was sacked four times. It's not clear what this game means for the competition between Willis and Levis behind starter Ryan Tannehill, but it seems safe to say that Willis had the better production in this game. Levis had only a six-yard carry as a runner, and he incurred four sacks on just 14 attempts, which looks worse than Willis' four sacks versus 25 attempts. The competition figures to be ongoing.

Driskel was not available for the Cardinals in Friday's preseason-opening 18-17 victory over the Broncos due to a strained calf, Howard Balzer of GoPHNX.com reports.

Driskel signed with the Cardinals during the offseason, which makes them his fifth team in six years. He is involved in one of the more interesting training camp competitions we have seen, as he is competing against Colt McCoy, Clayton Tune and David Blough for the opportunity to start under center until Kyler Murray (knee) is ready to return. The race is seemingly wide open, so it would be advantageous for him to have a speedy recovery.

Fields completed three of three passes for 129 yards and two touchdowns in Chicago's preseason game against Tennessee on Saturday.

Fields didn't need to break a sweat, as DJ Moore took his one target for a 62-yard touchdown on a screen pass, while starting running back Khalil Herbert took a checkdown pass 56 yards for the other touchdown. The arrival of Moore was always an obvious upgrade for Fields and the Bears offense, but Saturday's game provided an on-field example of just how much more help Fields will have in 2023 compared to 2022. Both the pass catchers and the blocking will be better for Chicago in 2023, giving well-founded hope that Fields' passing production will improve in the upcoming year, perhaps significantly so.

Levis is expected to rotate series with Malik Willis during Saturday's preseason game against the Bears, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Ryan Tannehill is still viewed as the Titans' starting quarterback and will thus take a seat for the team's first preseason contest. Willis, a 2022 third-round pick, is expected to draw the start versus Chicago, but he'll likely rotate series with Levis, a rookie second-round pick. Levis has struggled during training camp and currently finds himself as the No. 3 quarterback on Tennessee's depth chart, but he has a great opportunity to showcase his skills in extended action versus Chicago.

Willis is expected to start Saturday's preseason game versus the Bears, but he'll likely rotate series with Will Levis, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Ryan Tannehill is still viewed as the Titans' starting quarterback, so he'll take a seat for the team's first exhibition contest. In his stead, Willis, a 2022 third-round pick, will take the field first, but he's slated to split work with Levis, a rookie second-round pick. Willis has a high upside, but he struggled in limited action last year, completing just 51 percent of his passes while throwing three picks and zero touchdowns.

Tannehill isn't expected to play in Saturday's preseason game versus the Bears, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Despite using draft picks on Malik Willis and Will Levis in back-to-back years, Tannehill is still viewed as the Titans' starting quarterback and will thus watch the team's first preseason game from the sidelines. Willis is expected to get the start, but the second-year pro will rotate series with Levis, a 2023 second-round pick.
