Commanders | Marcus Mariota injures leg Friday Sat Aug 15, 02:24 PM
Updating a previous report, Washington Commanders QB Marcus Mariota (leg) sustained an apparent leg injury in the team's preseason opener versus the Miami Dolphins Friday, Aug. 14.
| Footballguys view: Mariota was able to walk off the field under his own power and was talking to trainers on the sideline. He was seen immediately limping after going to hand off the ball. Sam Hartman took over for an injured Mariota, and he's in line to elevate on the depth chart to no.2 (behind Jayden Daniels) if Mariota has to miss time. |

Jets | Geno Smith considered day to day Sat Aug 15, 02:24 PM
Updating a previous report, New York Jets QB Geno Smith (foot) is considered day to day due to foot soreness which kept him out of the team's preseason opener Friday, Aug. 14, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
| Footballguys view: Reports suggest the team is not concerned about Smith's foot injury, and it's speculated that if this were a regular-season game, he'd be a go. Smith has been pushing the ball to all three levels of the defense during training camp. He's a seasoned veteran who is a QB3 (QB29, 21.09) for Fantasy GMs in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Bengals | Short night for Joe Burrow Fri Aug 14, 11:20 AM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow completed five of his six passes for 39 yards against the Detroit Lions in the preseason Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Burrow's first snap under center produced an easy 16 yard gain on a dig route to Ja'Marr Chase, but later in the drive he was sacked. It was a mixed bag for the Bengals offense's first foray into a more traditional mode, but even a mere attempt to improve and diversify should be good for Burrow and company. |

Cardinals | Jacoby Brissett sharp in preseason Fri Aug 14, 11:20 AM
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett completed all five of his pass attempts for 44 yards and a touchdown in the preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Brissett looked comfortable in Mike LaFleur's offense and zinged a short touchdown to Marvin Harrison Jr. on a crossing route that showed LaFleur understands how to use his receivers. The offensive line might have taken a big blow when second round pick Chase Bisontis went down with a knee injury that LaFleur called "not good", but otherwise it was an encouraging night for Brissett and the Cardinals offense. |

Steelers | Drew Allar accounts for three TDs Fri Aug 14, 11:20 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Drew Allar completed 10 of his 13 passes for 153 yards and two touchdowns and added a three-yard rushing score in the preseason game against the Green Bay Packers Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Allar completed easy throws easily, but that wasn't a given when he was at Penn State. All of the talk of the team rebuilding him from the ground up (and implication that Penn State didn't go a good job developing him) foreshadowed this auspicious debut. His value is up superflex dynasty leagues, but it is just one game. |

Las Vegas Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza completed 10 of his 16 passes for 97 yards and a touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday, Aug. 13. He also ran twice for six yards.
| Footballguys view: Mendoza looked sharp and in sync with the play design and defensive reactions. It's easy to feel excited about Brock Bowers and Ashton Jeanty in a Klint Kubiak offense after watching Mendoza in live game action. Kirk Cousins is still the starter as of now, but Mendoza and Aidan O'Connell both earned first team snaps in practice going forward. |

Colts | Anthony Richardson uneven in preseason debut Fri Aug 14, 12:56 AM
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson completed 11 of 14 passes for 145 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception against the New England Patriots on Thursday, Aug. 13. He added 53 yards and a touchdown on six carries but lost a fumble.
| Footballguys view: This is still better than many expected after the not so encouraging reports out of training camp. Richardson isn't a complete lost cause yet, but he has to build on this performance to beat out Riley Leonard and back up Daniel Jones this year. He could also be dealt - if there is even any interest in him around the league. |
