All the best highlights from Week 2 of the preseason are right here
The NFL preseason has reached the midway point with Week 2, which serves as the de facto "dress rehearsal" for starters to prepare for the beginning of the regular season -- which is just three weeks away. For teams that don't have joint practices this week, Week 2 of the preseason is critical.
The Saturday slate features eight games, with three in the afternoon, four taking place simultaneously in prime time, and the Cowboys and Chargers squaring off in the late window. The Broncos won't play most of their starters in one of the two early games, but the Bills are set to give theirs -- including Josh Allen -- at least a little bit of run. Andy Reid indicated that the Chiefs' starters will play the first half of their game against the Commanders, so we'll get to see Patrick Mahomes and the new-look offense take the field again.
We're likely to see at least some of Trey Lance against the Vikings later in the day, but San Francisco's starters are not expected to see that much action. Tom Brady remains absent from Buccaneers camp, so he won't appear in the game against the Titans, but we should get another look at Malik Willis. Dallas and Los Angeles are two of the teams most aggressive about resting starters during preseason, so we should expect that game to be a battle of down-roster players fighting for spots on the team or in the rotation.
