We are in the thick of Week 2 of the preseason after a doubleheader on Friday and a full slate of games on Saturday, with more to come on Sunday and Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Titans-Falcons and Chiefs-Seahawks got things rolling to begin the week, and Saturday’s action was filled to the brim with storylines that’ll have ramifications for the start of the regular season. That includes a continued quarterback battle in Indy between Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones, along with Cleveland Browns third-round pick Dillon Gabriel making his debut.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While we still have the late window to go on Saturday, let’s take a look at some of the key takeaways from the early slate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dillon Gabriel has up-and-down showing<\/p>\n

After missing the preseason opener due to a hamstring injury, it was Gabriel’s turn to try and endear himself to the coaching staff as Cleveland still figures out its quarterback masthead. The third-rounder out of Oregon was efficient, completing 13 of his 18 passes for 143 yards on the afternoon. However, he also battled turnovers. Gabriel threw a pick-6 and then was credited with a fumble on a botched handoff. Those turnovers don’t exactly put him in the best light as he tries to make a case to climb the depth chart.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Daniel Jones slightly better than Anthony Richardson<\/p>\n

The Indianapolis Colts are still trying to figure out their Week 1 quarterback, and the battle between Jones and Richardson continued in Week 2 of the preseason.\u00a0We have a deeper dive into how each signal-caller fared<\/a>, but the offense did look much smoother with Jones under center. The former Giants QB had nice completions of 20-plus yards to Michael Pittman Jr. and Tyler Warren during his brief showing (two drives), and was able to lead a scoring drive.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Richardson led the lone touchdown drive between the two, but it was more volatile. He had a beautiful deep ball to Anthony Gould that was called back due to a penalty, but also had some errant throws, particularly a deep ball into major traffic in the end zone. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Again, it’s close, but Jones gains the slim victory in this head-to-head on Saturday.<\/p>\n

TreVeyon Henderson’s explosive summer continues<\/p>\n

New England’s second-round rookie made waves last week with his 100-yard kickoff return to start the game, and continued to flash his explosiveness in Week 2 of the preseason. Henderson played sparingly, but rushed for 20 yards on four carries, which included a nifty touchdown run on third-and-4. Given how impressive he’s been this summer, Henderson should have a sizable role in the Patriots backfield, if not start out of the gate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
