Chicago, IL – The final week of the NFL preseason has arrived, and with cutdown day fast approaching, teams are making crucial decisions ahead of the regular season. Over the past week, rookie quarterbacks have stepped up in impressive fashion. Players like Jayden Daniels, Bo Nix from Denver, and Drake Maye of New England are all making strong cases for their respective QB1 spots. Additionally, Caleb Williams has been showcasing his unique ability to improvise on the field.
In a notable play from the preseason, Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs executed a stunning behind-the-back pass during a game against the Detroit Lions. In Las Vegas, the quarterback competition ended with clarity, while uncertainty looms over the ongoing battle in Pittsburgh.
On the trade front, Matthew Judon has moved from the New England Patriots to the Atlanta Falcons, adding depth to Atlanta’s roster as they also signed safety Justin Simmons. Meanwhile, contract talks are ongoing for CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys, raising eyebrows around the league.
In Cleveland, Deshaun Watson faced a slight setback during practice due to arm soreness. Coach Kevin Stefanski indicated they decided to limit Watson’s activity as a precaution, which has raised questions about his status for the upcoming game against the Seattle Seahawks. Jameis Winston even filled in for Watson during practice. Although Watson hasn’t seen preseason action so far, there are still hopes he will play in Seattle.
For the Dallas Cowboys, performance reviews are in full swing as players face increased scrutiny in the final week. Jourdan Lewis has stood out among the cornerbacks, while Brandin Cooks continues to impress with his training routine. As we head closer to cutdown day, the decisions regarding the safety roster for the Minnesota Vikings appear increasingly complex.
Finally, the Detroit Lions are in search of consistent performance from their wide receivers, as the team waits for someone to step up and claim the WR3 spot following the departure of veteran receiver Josh Reynolds. Despite a mix of talent, no one currently shines bright enough to secure the spot, leaving the Lions in a position where they need someone to emerge as a reliable target.
As teams finalize their rosters, the coming days promise to be full of excitement as players battle for their spots while coaches make the final tweaks to their strategies. Stay tuned as these stories develop and the NFL gears up for the regular season.
