NFL preseason action is heating up as teams transition from training camp battles to on-field competition, with all 32 teams set to play in Week 2 of the preseason between August 15 and August 18. Fan excitement is building, with attention on both injury news and breakout performances. The preseason is showcasing rookies and new acquisitions, offering fans the earliest look at who might be the breakout stars and which teams need to iron out kinks before the regular season. The Fulcrum notes that the league has shifted from past years, with less overt athlete activism compared to the protest-heavy seasons of the late 2010s and early 2020s. The focus now remains squarely on the football, but the impact of past movements still lingers, especially as current events shape locker room conversations.
CBS Sports highlights several key preseason takeaways. In Cleveland, rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders soared in his debut, but is now unlikely to play against Philadelphia after straining his oblique in practice, as reported by Fox Sports. His initial performance was promising, but the Browns are taking a cautious approach with their presumed future starter. The Pittsburgh Steelers are evaluating their quarterback depth, with backups Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson both posting impressive numbers in the win against Jacksonville, while the running game struggled behind a backup-rich offensive line. In San Francisco, a disaster of a preseason opener saw backup quarterback Carter Bradley struggle and linebacker Nick Martin miss multiple tackles in a rough loss to Denver. However, cornerback Chase Lucas emerged as a defensive bright spot with a safety and a team-leading eight tackles.
The New York Jets have been big in the news cycle. Cornerback Sauce Gardner, already an All-Pro early in his career, sat out a joint practice with the Giants due to a sore calf. Jets backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor had knee surgery and will miss the entire preseason but is expected to be available for the season opener. Giants rookie receiver Malik Nabers is also nursing a toe injury, with head coach Brian Daboll insisting it’s not serious.
Drama unfolded in Atlanta when quarterback Michael Penix Jr. was pushed to the turf by Titans defenders after a scoring play in joint practice, leading to a scuffle. Penix downplayed the altercation afterward, emphasizing the competitive spirit at camp, according to Fox Sports.
As fans look ahead to the regular season, team projections and analysis fuel discussion. ABC7 News simulated best- and worst-case records for every franchise, emphasizing high-variance teams like the Chiefs, Raiders, Chargers, and Cardinals. The offensive line is a key x-factor for the Chiefs and Raiders, as Patrick Mahomes and Geno Smith will rely on protection to hit their respective team ceilings. For the Rams, health along the line is crucial with veteran Matthew Stafford entering his seventeenth season and battling back soreness. The Chargers and Cardinals are banking on improved run games and a sophomore leap from Marvin Harrison Jr., respectively, to reach their potential in 2025.
International and casual fans are able to catch preseason games via NFL Network and NFL+ in the US, with streaming globally on NFL Game Pass and DAZN. Preseason action is available live and on-demand, making follow-along easy for die-hards and new fans alike, as detailed by the Times of India.
On the cultural front, The Fulcrum observes that while Colin Kaepernick’s anthem protests once ignited league-wide activism, visible protests have faded under heightened political scrutiny in the current climate. While some Patriots players and others use their platforms for honest discussion, the NFL’s focus for now is primarily on competition, roster spots, and the countdown to Week 1.
