Borregales made his only field-goal attempt, from 41 yards out, and connected on all three extra-point tries in the Patriots' 24-21 preseason win over the Eagles on Saturday.

Borregales had a shaky preseason opener against the Colts where he misfired on three field-goal attempts, but the UM product was able to convert every opportunity presented to him Saturday. Borregales does ostensibly have some slack after posting respective 84.4 percent and 96.4 percent success rates on field goals and PATs as a rookie in 2025, following up those solid numbers by making four of six field-goal attempts and all seven extra-point tries in New England's four-game postseason run.

Elliott connected on all three of his extra-point tries and did not attempt any field goals in the Eagles' 24-21 preseason loss to the Patriots on Saturday.

The veteran kicker got some work in ahead of the regular season in Saturday's close loss. Elliott doesn't have any training camp competition despite the fact he's coming off back-to-back seasons with sub-80.0 percent success rates on field goals. Through two preseason games, Elliott has yet to attempt a field goal and has been perfect on his four PATs.

Williams brought in two of six targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' 24-21 preseason win over the Eagles on Saturday.

Williams started the game while working with Tommy DeVito as his quarterback, but the duo failed to connect on the first two passes that went the fleet-footed wideout's way on the opening possession. They would eventually make up for it in the latter portion of the second quarter, when Williams hauled in a long pass down the right sideline and took it an additional 35 yards for a 69-yard touchdown. Williams' elite speed is unquestioned, but whether he can develop down-to-down consistency and tunnel up a deep wide-receiver depth chart still remains to be seen.

Brosmer completed 11 of 17 passes for 98 yards and an interception while logging a four-yard carry during the Vikings' 13-3 preseason loss to the Ravens on Saturday.

Brosmer ended up seeing additional playing time as the Vikings' third quarterback in the game after J.J. McCarthy left early due to an undisclosed injury. Brosmer was under center for the entire second half and led an 11-play, 57-yard drive into Ravens territory in the fourth quarter, but the drive ended after this short throw for Terrill Davis was picked off by Silas Walters. McCarthy and Carson Wentz are battling for the backup job behind starter Kyler Murray, and Brosmer will likely be on the Vikings' practice squad to open the regular season. Minnesota's preseason finale takes place Friday on the road against Denver.

Stowers failed to bring in either of his two targets in the Eagles' 24-21 preseason loss to the Patriots on Saturday.

Stowers was on the field with the starting offense and saw his first target from Andy Dalton on third down during the Eagles' opening possession. The rookie second-round pick was blanked on the night Saturday, but he made three receptions in the exhibition opener against the Ravens and remains second on the unofficial tight-end depth chart behind Dallas Goedert heading into the preseason finale at home against the Bengals on Friday night.

Wentz completed nine of 11 passes for 92 yards during the Vikings' 13-3 preseason loss to the Ravens on Saturday.

J.J. McCarthy (undisclosed) served as the Vikings' starter for Saturday's game, with Wentz taking over under center in the second quarter. Wentz led two offensive series in the frame, with the latter being an eight-play, 57-yard drive that ended with a 52-yard field goal from Will Reichard as time expired, which were the only points the Vikings put up in Saturday's loss. Kyler Murray was named as Minnesota's QB1 earlier in August, but given McCarthy's shaky play in the team's first two preseason games, Wentz has a real chance of being named the team's backup quarterback for the regular season. The Vikings wrap up their preseason Friday against the Broncos.

Allen secured three of five targets for seven yards in the Chiefs' 16-15 preseason loss to the Buccaneers on Saturday.

The 2026 fifth-round pick has shown up on film in the first two preseason games, as he now has five receptions on 10 targets over that span. Allen has netted only 27 receiving yards in the process, but he's worked exclusively with backup quarterbacks such as Justin Fields and Garrett Nussmeier. Allen saw action into the second half Saturday and may well take the field again for the preseason finale at home against the Seahawks on Friday night.

Mayfield completed two of four passes for 10 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Buccaneers' 16-15 preseason win over the Chiefs on Saturday.

As expected, Mayfield made his preseason debut and worked the first two series with a short-handed pass-catching crew that was down Emeka Egbuka (toe), Jalen McMillan (knee), Tez Johnson (groin) and Cade Otton (undisclosed). Mayfield's completions went to Kameron Johnson (11 yards) and David Sills (minus-1 yard), and Saturday's brief appearance likely represents the extent of preseason action Mayfield will see ahead of a Week 1 road showdown with Joe Burrow and the Bengals on Sunday, Sept. 13.

Cuevas caught three passes on four targets for 46 yards during the Ravens' 13-3 preseason win over the Vikings on Saturday.

Cuevas and fellow rookie Matthew Hibner were listed as the Ravens' starting tight ends while both Mark Andrews and Durham Smythe observed the game from the sidelines. Cuevas played a key role in the Ravens' first offensive series of the second quarter, hauling in passes of 23 and 17 yards from Tyler Huntley, with the drive ending with a 49-yard field goal from Tyler Loop. Cuevas is up to four catches on five targets for 57 yards across two preseason games as he competes against Hibner and Smythe for a consistent role in the Ravens' offense for the regular season. Baltimore will wrap up the preseason Friday against the Commanders.

Gainwell rushed once for no gain in the Buccaneers' 16-15 preseason win over the Chiefs on Saturday.

Both Gainwell and Bucky Irving logged their touches for the night on the opening possession. Gainwell wasn't targeted Saturday during his brief time in the game, but the veteran pass-catching back is ticketed to play a major role in that capacity come the regular season, albeit while likely taking only a modest amount of rushing touches from Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker. Gainwell will likely next see the field in a Week 1 road matchup against the Bengals on Sunday, Sept. 13.
