Joe Webb Suffers Foot Injury
Houston Texans quarterback Joe Webb left Thursday's preseason loss to the Rams with a foot injury that some have called "serious," placing huge doubts on his ability to be Houston's third quarterback. With A.J. McCarron having just recovered from a thumb injury, it's possible we see the Texans roster just two quarterbacks depending on the […]
Gardner Minshew Finishes Preseason Without Touchdown
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew did enough this preseason to claim the team's backup job, but after going 11-for-26 for just 79 yards in the preseason finale against the Falcons, Minshew officially ends the preseason without a touchdown pass. Sure, it was the preseason, but it's still not an encouraging sign for a team to […]
Taryn Christion Looks Good on Thursday
Dallas Cowboys undrafted rookie quarterback Taryn Christion looked good in Thursday's final preseason game. He completed 11 of his 17 passes for 142 yards and a touchdown. He also led the Cowboys in rushing with five carries for 22 yards. The former South Dakota State Jackrabbit won't make it onto the final roster, but he […]
Lamar Jackson Absent, Trace McSorley Starts
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson did not play in Thursday's Week 4 preseason matchup against the Washington Redskins. Instead, rookie Trace McSorley got the start. McSorley completed 15 of 27 passes for 171 yards and a touchdown to make his last case for Baltimore to roster its third quarterback behind Robert Griffin III. Just before […]
Clayton Thorson Closes Out the Preseason for the Eagles
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Clayton Thorson led the Eagles to a shutout on Thursday, completing 12 of his 26 passes for 84 scoreless yards. He threw an interception and ran the ball twice for two yards. Thorson is clearly far behind veteran backup Josh McCown but the fifth-round rookie should stick on the Philly roster, either […]
Jared Goff Rests In Preseason Finale
As has been the case throughout the preseason, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff did not play during the team’s Week 4 preseason victory against the Houston Texans. The fourth-year standout has continued to improve and grow as a quarterback under head coach Sean McVay, finishing the 2018 season with over 4,500 yards and a […]
Blake Bortles Rested For Preseason Finale
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Blake Bortles did not play during the team’s Week 4 preseason victory against the Houston Texans, assuring that he has solidified his role as teammate Jared Goff’s backup. However, barring injury, Bortles will be unlikely to see any game time in the upcoming season even if Goff were to regress, so […]

Joshua Dobbs Starts Final Preseason Game
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Joshua Dobbs started Thursday's preseason game and went 3-for-5 with 21 yards, while taking one rush for 11 yards along with fumbling on a sack early in the first quarter.

Mason Rudolph Throws For 125 Yards On Thursday
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph went seven of 11 for 125 yards and a touchdown in the team's final preseason game on Thursday against the Panthers.

Daniel Jones Solid In First Start For Giants
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones’ final game of the preseason was short but sweet. He played one drive and completed four of his four pass attempts for 37 yards and no touchdowns. After the Giants were criticized for using the sixth overall pick on him in this year's draft, the rookie from Duke has had […]
Ryan Fitzpatrick Expected To Start Week 1
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is expected to be the starter for the team's Week 1 contest against the Ravens. While the Dolphins offense is one of the worst in the NFL, if Fitzpatrick is at the helm, expect the team to air the ball out. Wide receivers Kenny Stills, Albert Wilson and Devante Parker could […]
Cardinals Trade Korey Cunningham
The Arizona Cardinals traded offensive tackle Korey Cunningham to the New England Patriots for a 2020 sixth-round draft pick. Cunningham was a seventh-round pick in 2018 and started in six games.

Trent Williams Has No Plans To Report
Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams told former teammate DeAngelo Hall that he plans to continue his holdout into Week 1. Despite the Redskins belief that Williams will play for them in 2019, the disgruntled tackle looks to be content missing regular season action, at least to begin the year. An already questionable offensive line […]
Jimmy Garoppolo Testing Offense
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo said that he likes to take chances in the preseason and training camp practices to test the offense and his own limits. "The more you try those things, you see who's going to make the play for you in a crucial situation. If you put it in a good […]

Around the NFL Pop Quiz: AFC West
The average NFL career is 3.3 years. This isn't every guy on the training camp type misleading analysis, this is for the guys who make the opening day roster, though as Terry Crews reminded the cast of "Ask Me Another" on a recent episode, sometimes it takes a guy (like Crews) seven real years to […]
Draft Strategy: Who You Want vs. Who You Can Live With
I'm a firm believer that the best part of fantasy football is the preparation leading up to draft day. Sure, the season is fun too if your team is good, but we all know what the other end of that spectrum looks like. I've always enjoyed the anticipation--reading articles and listening to podcasts, conducting mock […]

Free-agent quarterback Brock Osweiler visited with the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday, according to a source. Phillip Walker is the current backup to Jacoby Brissett now that Andrew Luck has retired.
