The Arizona Cardinals will stick quarterback Kyler Murray on the PUP (physically unable to perform) list to begin the season. Murray has been rehabbing an ACL tear from Week 14 in 2022, so this was bound to happen. This move means that Murray will miss the first four games of the season, at a minimum. Onto the good stuff.
The Cardinals released veteran QB Colt McCoy, meaning that he clearly won't be the backup when Murray is out. The team traded for QB Joshua Dobbs last week and have rookie Clayton Tune also on the roster, making the two of them prime candidates for the job. There's still more. Head coach Jonathan Gannon says he won't name a starter ahead of Week 1. We're all on the edges of our seats.
Citing "competitive advantage" here is insane. It might be the only advantage they have.

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 Detroit Lions signed free agent quarterback Teddy Bridgewater on Monday.
Bridgewater will be the backup for starter Jared Goff. The team also has QB Nate Sudfeld and rookie QB Hendon Hooker on the roster, though he's not expected to play in 2023 due to recovering from a torn ACL. The Lions were interested in Bridgewater for a backup role since the spring, even offering him a contract in April. Bridgewater decided to hold out for a starting role, and when that did not surface, Bridgewater went back to Detroit. Bridgewater is heading into his tenth season as an NFL player. His latest stint was with the Miami Dolphins, where he backed up Tua Tagovailoa. 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:
Tom Brady is once again reiterating that he does not intend to return to playing football. Rumors about his return will swirl forever, but recently resurfaced because of his involvement with the Las Vegas Raiders. I won't believe it until I see it, personally.

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 Houston Texans picked Ohio State quarterback CJ Stroud with the second overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft; we know this. What is puzzling is that the team fleeced everyone into thinking they weren't taking a quarterback - so much so that several mock drafts as early as two weeks before had the team going defense at No. 2. Texans owner Cal McNair insisted that he had no influence on the pick of Stroud. "Hannah and I don't make the picks," McNair said at the team's charity golf event.
"We have a great group of scouts led by Nick [Caserio] and James Lippert," McNair continued, "and they did a lot of work on the draft board, and then they followed that on draft day, and they moved up when they saw the value was there and moved back."
Houston, famously, picked Stroud at No. 2 and then traded up to take Alabama defensive end Will Anderson Jr. The Texans are certainly doing everything they can to improve their roster, which has been one of the weakest in the NFL for the past few seasons. I, personally, love the presence of new head coach DeMeco Ryans and think he can make a huge impact on trying to change the course of the franchise. It probably won't be this year, or even next, but they definitely have the ability to slowly get better with time. more Qb news:
The New York Jets are clearly excited about having QB Aaron Rodgers on their side, including WR Garrett Wilson. "I'd be lying if I said we add someone of Aaron Rodgers' pedigree and the expectation doesn't go up a little bit."
more QB news:
The New York Jets' offseason program is underway, and new quarterback Aaron Rodgers is in attendance throwing to his new (and old) receivers.
These workouts are voluntary, but the Jets appear to have a good turnout so far. Rodgers, who normally didn't show up to offseason work with the Green Bay Packers, is doing the little things to get in sync with his new team. more QB news
I swear if Tom Brady plays in 2023... When asked if he would come out of retirement and play for the Miami Dolphins, Brady didn't say no. In fact, he didn't answer the question at all.
Rumors of Brady to the Dolphins have circulated for years - from the Sean Payton fiasco before he joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to him, here, saying he has friends on the Dolphins. Brady has insisted he is retired for real this time, but there's always going to be some doubt, considering he un-retired before. There's no way to tell how Brady will feel once training camp rolls around. And then once the season begins. And then when he's not playing in the postseason and competing for a Super Bowl. Please, Tom, let's not. more Qb news:
