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.

Aaron Rodgers' first season with the New York Jets ended in four plays. An MRI confirmed on Tuesday that Rodgers completely tore his Achilles tendon, knocking him out for the season.
This will leave Zach Wilson as the starting quarterback for the remainder of the year. It also leaves the Green Bay Packers getting a 2024 second-round pick (instead of the first-rounder they would have received had Rodgers played 65 percent or more snaps in 2023).
The Jets officially placed Rodgers on injured reserve on Tuesday. more Qb news:
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?

It happened. The Cincinnati Bengals dropped a major bomb in the first quarter of NFL Kickoff - QB Joe Burrow signed a monster extension. The five-year, $275 million deal will keep Burrow in Cincy until at least 2028.
The latest highest-paid player in the NFL is ready to kick off the season on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Burrow has been dealing with a calf strain that he suffered early in training camp but has logged full practices all week.

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis left practice on Thursday and did not return. Levis is dealing with a lower body injury, and his status for this weekend's preseason game is up in the air.
Malik Willis is already expected to start preseason Week Two. Head coach Mike Vrabel said they will see where he's at come Saturday.

The New York Jets offensive line has been up-and-down throughout training camp, and new quarterback Aaron Rodgers is ready to see some consistency. At 39, the less hits Rodgers takes week-to-week, the better.
The Jets have been practicing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week, and had some trouble all day Wednesday, per reports.
It's still August, so it's not time to panic yet, but if this issue isn't fixed come September, we could see an even more angrier Rodgers if he finds himself in the turf frequently. more qb news:
We all know the story by now of how Aaron Rodgers took a massive pay cut to play with the New York Jets. But, apparently, he reiterated (once again) that he plans to be there for longer than just 2023.
As someone who has thought that Rodgers would retire after the past two seasons, I'd be shocked if he played beyond 2023. It's better to bow out too soon than too late.

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields is under a lot of pressure to deliver in 2023. And he's bringing most of it on himself. Fields declared that he will be the first Bears QB to reach 4,000 yards.
I love the confidence.
The franchise record was set by Erik Kramer (who even is that?) in 1995 with 3,838 yards. Fields led all QBs in rushing yards last season, but we'll see in 2023 if he can level up to this high expectation. more qb news:
Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields believes he is one of the greatest running QBs in all of NFL history. He named Michael Vick, Cam Newton, Lamar Jackson, Steve Young, and himself.
There's nothing wrong with this line of thinking. I'd rather my favorite QB think he was the best over being like, "Well, let me list x amount of guys who are better than me."
Fields ran for just under 1150 yards last season - the second-most for a QB in history (Jackson had 1206 in 2019). And you could argue that he may have broken Jackson's record had he played in Week 17. But, I think Fields is putting himself there a little early, but it's also fine for him to be a little cocky. It's my favorite QB trait. more qb news:
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is continuing to progress through his rehab process with an aim for a regular season return. Purdy is heading to Jacksonville to throw with QB Will Hewlett, who he worked with previously. The aim is to get his throwing mechanics on track for September.
He'll also work with orthopedic specialist Tom Gormely, who has worked with players rehabbing from the same injury.
If Purdy is healthy come the start of the regular season, he is in line to be the starter in San Francisco. If not, 2021 pick Trey Lance and Sam Darnold will be doing the handiwork in training camp. I'm also still not completely giving up on a Lance trade somewhere in the late summer or early fall should another team's starter go down. more qb news:
