Rogers logged two tackles (one solo) during Thursday night's preseason opener against the Texans.

Rogers logged 26 total snaps in the contest. The cornerback spent most of his reps defensively, contributing to 38 percent of the team's defensive efforts. The Rutgers product has already progressed further than in his rookie year, when he suffered a season-ending injury during the Chargers' second preseason game of the season against the Saints on Aug. 10.

Reed logged three tackles (two solo) during Thursday night's preseason opener against the Texans.

Reed logged 34 total snaps in the contest. The cornerback played 49 percent of the defensive snaps, logging valuable slot reps in preparation for a scenario in which Tarheeb Still cannot suit up.

Nailor played eight snaps on offense during Thursday's 27-14 preseason loss to the Cardinals. He did not show up in the box score otherwise.

Both Nailor and Tre Tucker, the Raiders' top wideouts on the depth chart, saw minimal work in the first quarter before observing the rest of the game from the sidelines. Nailor inked a three-year, $35 million contract with Las Vegas after playing for Minnesota during the first four years of his NFL career. He's played 17 regular-season games in each of the last two years and finished the 2025 campaign with 29 catches (on 53 targets) for 444 yards and four touchdowns. Nailor will have the opportunity to operate in an expanded role in the Raiders passing attack alongside Tucker and talented tight end Brock Bowers.

Colson made five tackles (three solo) in Thursday night's preseason opener against the Texans.

The linebacker played 22 defensive snaps in the contest, 42 percent of the Chargers' defensive total. Thursday was Colson's first performance back from season-ending shoulder surgery he received during the 2025 preseason. The 2024 third-rounder is set to be a key depth piece for the Chargers' linebacker corps in the upcoming campaign.

Doubs did not play in the Patriots' 13-13 tie with the Colts in Thursday's preseason game.

Doubs, A.J. Brown and DeMario Douglas were the three Patriots wide receivers who observed Thursday's game in street clothes. Doubs inked a four-year contract with the Patriots in March after spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Packers, and he's slated to serve as a key target for QB Drake Maye in 2026 while starting alongside Brown. Doubs is coming off a 2025 season in which he caught 55 passes (on 85 targets) for 724 yards and six touchdowns across 16 regular-season games.

Jackson logged 34 snaps during Thursday's preseason opener against the Bengals.

The strong safety participated in 34 percent of the Lions' defensive plays but did not appear otherwise in the final box score. Thursday marked Jackson's first preseason action, as the second-year safety was placed on injured reserve in early August of his rookie season due to a leg injury.

Harper produced three solo tackles in Thursday night's preseason opener against the Bengals.

Harper logged 39 defensive snaps and 12 special-teams snaps in the contest. The free safety played 56 percent of the defensive snaps for the Lions. Harper's ability to consistently take down the ball carrier solo may earn him more snaps in subsequent preseason games, such as in next Saturday's showdown with the Commanders.

Jenkins logged five tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Thursday night's preseason opener against the Lions.

Jenkins participated in 32 defensive snaps, good for 48 percent of Cincinnati's total in Thursday's game. The defensive tackle missed the last three games of the 2025 regular season due to an ankle injury, but he appears to have since recovered. The 2024 second-rounder has a hard path to playing time this year, with the addition of Dexter Lawrence set to knock his position on the depth chart down further.

Glover played 18 offensive snaps in Thursday night's preseason opener against the Steelers.

Glover participated in 30 percent of the offensive snaps for the Packers. The 25-year-old played the snaps at right tackle, proving last year's shoulder issue is officially behind him.

Williams played 32 offensive snaps in Thursday's preseason opener against the Steelers.

Williams participated in 53 percent of the offensive snaps, defending quarterback Kyle McCord as he made his Packers debut. The backup tackle will likely see similar usage in next Friday's preseason game against the Broncos.
