Preseason Week 2 began Thursday night with the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots. Looking ahead, fans are expected to gain more exposure to high draft choices and veterans in new places this weekend.
Here is a look at the starting quarterback situations for each game in preseason Week 2:
Thursday, Aug. 15
Philadelphia Eagles 14, New England Patriots 13
Eagles starting QB: Kenny Pickett, Year 3
Patriots starting QB: Jacoby Brissett, Year 9
Tanner McKee made the most pass attempts, but former first-round pick Kenny Pickett, who came over via trade this offseason, earned the start. Will Grier also saw snaps.
Rookie Drake Maye saw more extended action this week off the bench. Bailey Zappe and Joe Milton III also made pass attempts.
Saturday, Aug. 17
Atlanta Falcons at Baltimore Ravens (12 p.m. ET)
Falcons starting QB: Unknown
Ravens starting QB: Josh Johnson, Year 17
Michael Penix Jr., Nathan Rourke and Taylor Heinicke all had had at least 11 pass attempts but fewer than 17 a week ago. Penix took the field first with Kirk Cousins sidelined.
Lamar Jackson has not played in a preseason game since 2021. Veteran Josh Johnson started the game last week and then turned it over to rookie Devin Leary. The same rotation is expected against the Falcons.
Cincinnati Bengals at Chicago Bears (1 p.m. ET)
Bengals starting QB: Jake Browning, Year 6
Bears starting QB: Caleb Williams, Year 1
Cincinnati fans witnessed Joe Burrow a week ago, but there will not be an encore. Burrow is expected to spectate from the sidelines after taking part in joint practices with the Bears this week. Browning is in line to get the start.
Chicago will be playing its third preseason game after opening the year with the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game. However, it will be Williams’ second start. Brett Rypien, Tyson Bagent and Austin Reed will likely divvy up the remaining snaps.
