NFL preseason live updates: Dillon Gabriel's mixed bag debut, Colts QBs battle

[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 storyline to follow.

Cleveland Browns rookie QB 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, but he was otherwise solid and in control in the passing game.

Meanwhile, the Colts QB battle continued to heat up with Daniel Jones looking good early, leading a field goal drive, and Anthony Richardson entering later and leading Indianapolis to a touchdown. Those two appear to be neck-and-neck for the starting job.

Later this weekend, Caleb Williams is starting for the Bears on national television Sunday night vs. the Bills, our first glimpse of the 2024 No. 1 overall pick under new head coach Ben Johnson. That game headlines Frank Schwab’s top QB situations to watch this week, along with Jaxson Dart’s second preseason outing and more developments in the Saints’ and Colts’ QB battles.

Justin Herbert will also play 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 Brock Purdy and some 49ers starters are expected to play against the Raiders on Saturday too.

You can watch both of Friday’s preseason games on NFL Network, and also on NFL+.
