Dak Prescott & Sam Darnold Are Not Expected to Play in the Cowboys-Seahawks Game
Neither Dak Prescott or Sam Darnold are expected to play in the Cowboys-Seahawks matchup. Seattle has more formally revealed that Darnold will not play, while the Cowboys have historically not played Prescott in the preseason.
For the Seahawks, Drew Lock will get the start, but fans are expected to see a heavy dose of second-year quarterback Jalen Milroe.
“The quarterbacks, we’re going to rotate in some form or fashion,” Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald explained, per Field Gulls. “We have an idea of how we want it to work, but don’t want to be put in a corner there. It’ll be great. Both guys will get experience playing with different units.
“Normally the quarterback goes until he doesn’t go and then the next guy goes and closes the game out. With this game, I think we’re going to rotate to some extent.”
The Browns Are Starting QB Deshaun Watson Over Shedeur Sanders vs. Bears
The Browns will start Deshaun Watson over Shedeur Sanders against the Bears. Cleveland continues to have one of the more interesting quarterback battles amid training camp.
Sanders is also expected to get plenty of snaps against Chicago.
“We approach practice like a game,” Sanders noted, per ESPN. “So it’s the same amount of focus and experiences. So that’s why I’m excited: to feel how similar does it feel to practice, honestly.
“Because it’s a different type of intention and a mentality that we go out there every day with.”
Fans should enjoy today’s games as there will be a break in the NFL preseason schedule. Following the seven games on the Saturday, August 15, schedule, the next NFL preseason matchups will take place on Thursday, August 20.
