NFL Preseason Week 2: Rookie QBs Shine and Injury Concerns Rise

HENDERSON, Nev. — The NFL preseason continues to heat up as teams prepare for Week 2 of practice and games. Last week, rookie quarterbacks took center stage, with impressive showings from players like Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels and Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams. Daniels flexed his creativity on the field, while Williams showcased his ability to improvise under pressure. In a notable performance, Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy exceeded expectations, and Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix displayed remarkable composure.

Joint practices have been a hot topic across the league, with teams like the Detroit Lions and New York Giants experiencing on-field conflicts that resulted in fines from the league. Notably, Seattle Seahawks WR DK Metcalf also stirred up some tension among teammates during practice. Meanwhile, contract negotiations continue to loom over key players like Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb and San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk, who recently rejoined discussions.

In other news, Las Vegas Raiders receiver Davante Adams was absent from practice due to an undisclosed issue, raising questions about his availability for the upcoming matchup against the Cowboys. Coach Antonio Pierce has stated that all healthy players will participate, yet Adams’ status remains uncertain.

Additionally, Cincinnati Bengals running back Chris Evans faced a serious injury during practice, tearing his patellar tendon, which rules him out for the entire regular season. His teammate, offensive tackle D’Ante Smith, also found himself in a difficult situation, suffering a leg injury that brought practice to a halt.

Looking ahead, Bears fans are eager for Caleb Williams to make his Soldier Field debut this Saturday. Coach Matt Eberflus confirmed that starters will play against the Cincinnati Bengals, setting the stage for an exciting week of action.

As the preseason progresses, teams are bracing for matchups that could pave the way for a successful regular season. Stay tuned for more insights and updates across the league!
