  • Jalen Milroe QB | SEA

    Seahawks' Jalen Milroe: Throws first preseason touchdown

    Milroe completed 13 of 24 passes for 148 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Saturday's 20-7 preseason loss to the Packers. He added seven rushes for 31 yards while also losing three fumbles.

    Milroe was the only Seahawks quarterback to play, and there were plenty of positives and negatives to take away from his performance. He struggled against the Packers' better defensive personnel and managed to lead only one scoring drive that came early in the fourth quarter, while also taking five sacks and turning the ball over three times. More positively, Milroe displayed solid skills on Seattle's scoring drive, showing accuracy to all levels of the field -- including an 18-yard touchdown pass -- while also picking up 15 yards on a designed run. Milroe appears likely to open the season as Seattle's third quarterback.

  • Packers' Chris Brooks: Works behind Jacobs

    Brooks recorded four carries for 15 yards in Saturday's 20-7 preseason win over the Seahawks.

    Brooks was the second back into the game behind Josh Jacobs, though he did rotate carries with Emanuel Wilson for a few drives. Wilson was the more efficient back but played deeper into the game, suggesting Brooks could be either second or third on the depth chart depending on MarShawn Lloyd's (hamstring) status for a Week 1 matchup against the Lions.

  • Emanuel Wilson RB | SEA

    Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Rotates with Brooks

    Wilson rushed the ball eight times for 38 yards in Saturday's 20-7 preseason win over the Seahawks.

    Wilson was interestingly the third back into the game for the Packers, behind both Josh Jacobs and Chris Brooks. Wilson also played later into the game relative to Brooks, despite being more efficient with his carries. That suggests Wilson could be as low as No. 4 on the running back depth chart to begin the regular season, depending on the status of MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring).

  • Malik Willis QB | MIA

    Packers' Malik Willis: Leads two drives

    Willis completed three of six passes for 50 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Saturday's 20-7 preseason win over the Seahawks.

    Willis started in the absence of Jordan Love (thumb) and played with the majority of Green Bay's top skill-position players. His longest completion went for 39 yards to Matthew Golden, and he later capped the same drive with a one-yard touchdown toss to Romeo Doubs. Willis also displayed some inconsistency as a passer, as he overthrew Malik Heath for an interception to end the Packers' first drive. Willis will enter the season as the backup to Love.

  • 49ers' George Kittle: Not slated to suit up Saturday

    Kittle isn't involved in warmups ahead of Saturday's preseason game against the Chargers, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Kittle started last Saturday's exhibition against the Raiders and logged 11 offensive snaps without being targeted by QB Brock Purdy. That will mark his only action of exhibition season. Kittle has had a bit of a resurgence in recent years, coming off back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns (and a 78-1,106-8 line on 94 targets in 15 regular-season games a year ago). The 49ers rewarded the 31-year-old with a four-year, $76.4 million extension in April.

  • Bills' Brad Robbins: Under the weather

    Robbins is dealing with an illness and may not punt in Saturday's preseason game against the Buccaneers, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

    If Robbins is unable to take the field for punts, then tight end Zach Davidson could be used as an emergency punter during Saturday's exhibition contest. Robbins signed with the Bills in March after being cut by the Bengals in October.

  • Romeo Doubs WR | NE

    Packers' Romeo Doubs: Touchdown grab in preseason win

    Doubs recorded one catch on one target for one yard and a touchdown in Saturday's 20-7 preseason win over the Seahawks.

    Doubs played for two offensive possessions along with other starters such as Matthew Golden, Tucker Kraft and Josh Jacobs. He caught his touchdown on a slant route on a pass from Malik Willis, who started the game for Green Bay. Most importantly, Doubs looks ready for the Packers' Week 1 matchup against the Lions after working through a back injury for much of the last two weeks.

  • 49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Not in uniform Saturday

    McCaffrey isn't warming up ahead of Saturday's preseason contest versus the Chargers, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    McCaffrey won't see any exhibition action this year, but by all accounts he's been looking like his pre-2024 self after dealing with Achilles tendinitis in both legs and a PCL sprain in his right knee last season. In parts of three campaigns since being traded from Carolina to San Francisco in October 2022, he's averaged 115.5 yards from scrimmage per game and scored 31 TDs in 31 regular-season games.

  • Isaac TeSlaa WR | DET

    Lions' Isaac TeSlaa: Another impressive preseason TD

    TeSlaa caught both his targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 26-7 preseason loss to the Texans.

    The 2025 third-round pick wrapped up his dazzling preseason with another big play, connecting with Kyle Allen on a 33-yard TD strike late in the first quarter. TeSlaa has done everything possible to lock up a spot on the 53-man roster, and while he may begin the season as the No. 5 wideout, his trajectory to begin his career suggests it may not be long before he surpasses veterans Tim Patrick and Kalif Raymond to claim the No. 3 role behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams.

  • Hendon Hooker QB | TEN

    Lions' Hendon Hooker: No. 2 job slipping away

    Hooker completed six of 11 passes for 70 yards and an interception in Saturday's 26-7 preseason loss to the Texans. He added 25 yards on his only carry.

    While it was encouraging to see him make a big play with his legs, Hooker was once again out-performed through the air by Kyle Allen, who got the start completed all five of his passes and hit Isaac TeSlaa for a 33-yard TD. Hooker headed into training camp the favorite to take over the No. 2 QB job behind Jared Goff, but he may have squandered the opportunity and let Allen leapfrog him on the depth chart.
