Orchard Park, N.Y. – As Week 2 of the NFL preseason kicks off, teams are buzzing with activity on the practice fields. Following a week focused on rookie quarterbacks, the spotlight continues to shine on impressive performances. Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels surprised many with his unorthodox style, while Caleb Williams of the Chicago Bears showcased his improvisational skills. J.J. McCarthy of the Minnesota Vikings performed better than expected, and Bo Nix from the Denver Broncos exhibited calm under pressure.
Joint practices across the league have led to some tension, especially during sessions between the Detroit Lions and New York Giants, resulting in fines for both teams. There were also some scuffles within teams, including a notable incident involving DK Metcalf of the Seattle Seahawks.
Amidst all the action, contract talks continue to dominate headlines. The San Francisco 49ers are back negotiating with wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, while the Dallas Cowboys and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb seem far apart on a new deal.
In roster news, the Baltimore Ravens continue to fine-tune their offensive line. Their current locks for the roster include Ronnie Stanley, Andrew Vorhees, Tyler Linderbaum, and others, but the competition is fierce for the final spots as they evaluate who will make the cut.
Meanwhile, in Buffalo, the Bills have added quarterback Ben DiNucci to their roster after injuries left them short-handed. As starting quarterback Josh Allen takes on the bulk of the practice snaps, DiNucci will need to learn quickly, especially with the upcoming preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Fans should also note the injury reports from across the league. Amarius Mims of the Cincinnati Bengals is set to miss several weeks with a strained pectoral muscle, while the Atlanta Falcons are reeling from injuries to rookie linebacker Bralen Trice and safety Demarcco Hellams.
As the week unfolds, it’s clear that the NFL preseason is filled with excitement and uncertainty. Teams are finding their rhythm, and fans will be eager to see how these developments play out in the coming games.
