NFL preseason live updates: Justin Herbert makes brief preseason debut, Giants rookie Jaxson Dart in action; Dillon Gabriel has mixed bag debut

[NFL preseason schedule | NFL team feeds | NFL preseason live blog]

The second week of NFL preseason action is in full swing, and there are plenty of storylines to follow.

With Cleveland Browns rookie QB Shedeur Sanders sitting out due to an oblique injury, fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel saw his first action of preseason Saturday, and it was an up-and-down day for the third-round pick. He finished 13-of-18 for 143 yards passing but also turned it over twice. He thew a pick 6 and also lost a fumble on a botched handoff exchange. He was otherwise solid and in control in the passing game.

Much will be made in the coming days, especially on the talking heads shows, about his in-game comments of the QB competition he’s in with Sanders. Gabriel later clarified he was referring to the media, not Sanders.

Meanwhile, the Colts QB battle continues to heat up, with Daniel Jones ending up 7 of 11 passes for 101 yards while Anthony Richardson competed 6 of 11 passes for 73 yards. Those two appear to be neck-and-neck for the starting job, and head coach Shane Steichen told reporters he plans to decide the starter “very soon.”

Justin Herbert is also playing in a preseason game for the first time in *checks notes* his entire career on Saturday when the Chargers square off against the SoFi Stadium co-tenant Rams. And Giants rookie QB Jaxson Dart will get another big opportunity against the Jets.

Later on, Caleb Williams is starting for the Bears on national television Sunday night vs. the Bills, our first glimpse of the 2024 No. 1 overall draft pick under new head coach Ben Johnson. That game headlines Frank Schwab’s top QB situations to watch this week.
