Preseason Week 2 Begins with Key Quarterback Updates
This weekend, NFL fans are gearing up for Preseason Week 2, which kicked off on Thursday night with a matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and the New England Patriots. As the exhibition games continue, teams are starting to showcase their high draft picks and veterans who have switched teams. Here’s a closer look at the starting quarterback situations for each game during this weekend’s slate.
In the Eagles game, expect to see Kenny Pickett, now in his third year, taking the snaps as the starting QB. Former first-round pick, Jacoby Brissett, who is in his ninth year, will lead the Patriots.
As for the Falcons and Ravens, the starting QB for Atlanta remains a mystery, while Josh Johnson, a seasoned veteran in his 17th year, will take charge for Baltimore. Michael Penix Jr. saw significant action last week, but with Lamar Jackson still not playing in preseason, fans are eager to see how this matchup unfolds.
In the Bengals vs. Bears game, Jake Browning is expected to start for Cincinnati, as Joe Burrow will watch from the sidelines. The Bears will feature rookie Caleb Williams in his second start.
The Giants will welcome Daniel Jones back to the field for his first start since a torn ACL last season. On the other hand, the Texans have not named a starter just yet, with options including C.J. Stroud and Davis Mills.
Additionally, the Lions are keeping their QB situation under wraps, while Patrick Mahomes will make his second start for the Chiefs as they look to shake off any Super Bowl slow start.
Among other notable matchups, Josh Allen is set to start for the Bills, and Russell Wilson is expected to lead the Steelers.
Through the weekend’s games, fans will have the chance to see a mix of familiar faces and fresh talent, as teams finalize their rosters ahead of the regular season. For many teams, this is a crucial opportunity to assess their depth and make final evaluations on their quarterback situations.
