The Washington Commanders opened their preseason with a convincing 20–7 victory over the Miami Dolphins. Miami’s new quarterback Malik Willis impressed in his debut, leading a 93-yard drive capped by De’Von Achane’s touchdown run. However, Washington quickly seized momentum with Robert Henry Jr. and Kaytron Allen rushing for touchdowns in the second quarter. A late field goal sealed the win. Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota left the game early with a knee injury, raising concerns about his availability moving forward. Both teams used the game to evaluate rookies and depth players, with standout performances from Caleb Douglas, who made a spectacular one-handed catch, and Washington’s defensive unit forcing turnovers. The preseason clash highlighted promising talent but also underscored injury risks.

Undrafted QB Jalon Daniels shines in Bucs debut, proving poise and talent can’t be overlooked.

Jalon Daniels, the undrafted rookie quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, delivered a standout performance in his preseason debut against the New York Jets. Daniels completed 10 of 15 passes for 111 yards and capped a 16-play drive with a one-yard rushing touchdown. Head coach Todd Bowles praised his poise, noting Daniels’ ability to stay calm in the pocket and make smart reads. Fans and analysts quickly reacted, questioning how such a talented player went undrafted. Daniels, who spent six years at Kansas, showed he could adapt to the NFL system, balancing his natural improvisation with disciplined ex*****on. His performance has sparked conversations about his potential role in Tampa Bay’s quarterback depth chart. Could Daniels be the Buccaneers’ hidden gem? Time will tell, but his debut has already made waves.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the New York Jets 24–16 in their preseason opener at MetLife Stadium. Rookie quarterback Cade Klubnik, unexpectedly starting after Geno Smith was scratched with an ankle issue, led two scoring drives early, including a Braelon Allen touchdown run. However, turnovers shifted momentum, with Bailey Zappe throwing two interceptions, one returned for a Buccaneers touchdown. Tampa Bay’s rushing attack, highlighted by Josh Williams and Jalon Daniels, added key scores to secure the win. Despite showing flashes of promise, the Jets’ offense struggled to sustain drives and capitalize in the red zone. For Tampa Bay, the game provided valuable depth evaluation, while New York faces questions about offensive consistency. Both teams now look ahead to refining their rosters before the regular season.

The NFL has suspended Atlanta Falcons edge rusher James Pearce Jr. for eight games of the 2026 season after violating the league’s personal conduct policy. The suspension follows a February domestic dispute involving WNBA player Rickea Jackson. Pearce faced felony charges but entered a pretrial intervention program that could dismiss them if completed. Despite being eligible for preseason games, his suspension begins August 30, with reinstatement possible on November 2. Pearce was a standout rookie in 2025, recording 10.5 sacks and finishing third in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting. His absence, combined with Jalon Walker’s ACL injury, leaves Atlanta’s defense weakened. The Falcons added veteran Cameron Sample, but replacing Pearce’s production will be difficult. This setback raises serious questions about Atlanta’s playoff hopes.
