Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff started Thursday Night off with an interception - right to Green Bay Packers safety Rudy Ford. Goff followed that up by going 3-for-3 on the next possession, capping it off with a touchdown to wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown.
Goff finished the night completing 19-of-28 passes for 210 yards, one touchdown and an interception. But he mostly got to sit back and watch the Lions' rushing attack take complete control of the Packers' defense.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow missed most of the preseason with a lingering calf injury, started the season 0-2, re-aggravated the injury in Week Two, risked not being ready for Week Three, and now comes up with a win for Monday Night Football. Now you're all caught up.
Burrow's limited mobility was an issue in Monday's game, but he managed - completing 26-of-49 passes for 259 yards and one interception. Not a great stat line, but he was able to rely on star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase to pick up the slack.
As of right now (Tuesday morning), Burrow suffered no setbacks on his calf Monday night. I'd expect him to be limited in practice this week as he manages the injury, but he's made it clear he intends to play through this injury.

When I said I thought the offseason New York Jets hype train was going to come to a halting stop - I didn't mean it like this. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers went down with what appeared to be a leg injury in the team's first possession. Rodgers was led to the medical tent, where he was later carted to the locker room to have X-rays. He was given a questionable designation to return to game action before the team ruled him out in the second quarter. X-rays were negative. The original fear is that Rodgers has an Achilles injury.
Saleh also stated postgame QB Zach Wilson will be "the guy" moving forward. I'd still expect them to bring in another veteran QB. Joe Flacco anyone?

The New England Patriots have made some interesting quarterback moves over the past few days - cutting Bailey Zappe and Malik Cunningham. Here's another - they claimed QB Matt Corral off waivers after he was cut by the Carolina Panthers.
The Panthers selected Corral in the 2022 draft before he was sidelined the entirety of the season with a Lisfranc injury. It'll be interesting to see how he fits in with the other QBs on the practice squad - and how much, if any, playing time he sees behind Mac Jones.

Welp. They finally did it. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have named Baker Mayfield their starting quarterback for the 2023 season. He has beaten out the almighty Kyle Trask.
Head coach Todd Bowles named Mayfield the starter in Tuesday's press conference, stating experience and understanding of the playbook as reasons for getting the starting nod.
Bowles also said Mayfield and most starters will play until about the half in their final preseason game. more qb news:
Aaron Rodgers is in attendance for OTAs with the New York Jets, but he wasn't doing much work on Tuesday due to a potential ankle injury. Rodgers was seen limping on the field where he then went to speak with the strength and conditioning staff. The good news? It's May. The best time to get injured.
The injury appeared to be only a "tweak," although it's something worth keeping an eye on as the offseason progresses.
It was later determined that the injury for Rodgers was a calf strain.
While the initial issue seems to minor, it's worth monitoring as calf injuries can tend to linger. But the fact that this happened now is better than it happening later.

The Pittsburgh Steelers signed backup QB Mitch Trubisky to a two-year contract extension. General Manager Omar Khan announced a deal was close on the Pat McAfee Show, and a confirmed deal was announced shortly thereafter.
Trubisky started for the Steelers for a short time before the team handed the keys to Kenny Pickett, who will be the expected starter in 2023. Trubisky is a solid backup who can win you a game or two if needed, but probably isn't consistent enough to be a starter in the NFL.
Pittsburgh also re-signed third-stringer Mason Rudolph earlier this week, giving Pickett a strong sense of continuity in the quarterback room for September. more qb news:
Current free agent QB Matt Ryan hasn't announced his retirement yet, but based on his latest career venture (and to be honest, last year's performance), it seems like it may be a reality soon. Ryan announced he will be joining CBS Sports as an analyst, both in studio and in-game. Ryan says in a Twitter post that he is not retiring - because he's still owed money from the Indianapolis Colts.
If Ryan does decide to retire, he will do so with zero Super Bowls.

Jalen Hurts has had a whirlwind couple of months. A Super Bowl appearance with the Philadelphia Eagles, a contract extension, and now a Master's degree from Oklahoma. Hurts earned a degree in human relations last Friday.
Finishing a master's degree while being in the NFL (and getting to a Super Bowl) is some type of level most of us can't begin to imagine.

The Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl in 2018. Now, two out of three of the quarterbacks on that roster are free agents. Carson Wentz has been looking for a new home since his release from the Washington Commanders, and Nick Foles was released by the Indianapolis Colts on Friday.
Both Wentz and Foles could find new teams as backups closer to camp, as teams like to have a good veteran presence heading into the summer.
Or, do they walk away? Foles said recently he is unsure about his future in the NFL after his release from Indy. "Shoot, almost every year of my career I've almost retired. Every offseason, I think, 'Do I still want to play? Do I still want to keep going?' Specifically this last year with everything." more qb news:
