Watson Seizes Browns' Week 1 QB Role After Battle with Sanders

Deshaun Watson has been named the Browns’ starting quarterback for the season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars, beating out Shedeur Sanders after a competitive preseason; it’s Watson’s first game since his Achilles injuries, and Cleveland cites his overall body of work in the offseason and camp. Watson addressed recent fan criticism with an apology, and the Browns have rebuilt the offense with an upgraded line and new receivers KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston in the final year of his contract.

Cousins Seizes Early Lead in Raiders' QB Showdown Ahead of Week 1

Kirk Cousins retains the edge over rookie Fernando Mendoza in the Raiders’ quarterback competition, with coach Klint Kubiak noting it’s Cousins’ job to lose. Cousins led first-team reps and delivered solid-but-not-perfect plays in camp and the preseason, while Mendoza showed flashes but struggled, keeping the veteran on track to start Week 1 versus the Dolphins as the competition continues into the final preseason game.

Brissett seeks Week 1 starter role as Cardinals push offense forward

Fresh off a new contract, Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett is focused on learning the new offense and earning the Week 1 starting job, admitting he got only about three hours of sleep during contract talks. In the second open practice, he showed a spark—completing a 21-yard pass to Tejhaun Palmer and two red‑zone TDs to Xavier Weaver—while teammates and coaches indicate Brissett is the likely Week 1 starter on Sept. 13, with Minshew II and Beck continuing to compete but facing growing pains.

Vikings spark open QB race by adding Kyler Murray

Vikings sign Kyler Murray to a one-year, $1.3 million deal (Cardinals owe him about $35.5 million) with a 2027 no-tag clause, creating an open quarterback competition with J.J. McCarthy after Kevin O’Connell declined to name a Week 1 starter; with both players likely to see time due to injury histories, the staff will decide the starter based on performance and development.
