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?

Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow was listed as "day-to-day" over the weekend by head coach Zac Taylor, but Burrow appears to be trending upwards as far as being available for Week One.
The Bengals enacted a somewhat 'secret' plan to prepare Burrow for in-game action. I'm starting to think the 'secret' was that he wasn't as injured as originally thought - but that's just me.

As NFL teams got down to their final 53-man rosters on Tuesday, the New England Patriots cut everyone not named Mac Jones basically. Backup QBs Bailey Zappe (a fan-favorite) and Malik Cunningham (after a strong preseason) were both waived by the team.
Zappe, a fourth-rounder in 2022, appeared in two games as a rookie - and played well enough for fans to scream incessantly that they wanted him to start over Jones. Cunningham, who was an undrafted free agent out of Louisville in 2023, had a strong preseason. Fans and media weren't the only ones a little shocked by the moves. Patriots special-teamer Matthew Slater said the news that Zappe was being cut was a shock to the whole locker room.
It's possible that one, or both will end up on someone else's roster - or someone's practice squad.

The Dallas Cowboys may not have offensive coordinator Kellen Moore any longer, but owner Jerry Jones is still referring to the offense as "Dak [Prescott]-friendly," mentioning that he has all the tools he needs to succeed.
It's difficult for any quarterback to learn a new offense, but it may be especially difficult for Prescott, who is under a ton of pressure to perform (and throw less interceptions) in 2023.

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.

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:
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.

During Las Vegas Raiders OTAs, new quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo did not participate in practice, as he has not been cleared.
Garoppolo had surgery on his foot in March and is expected to miss Raiders OTAs. Garoppolo's rehabilitation timeline is uncertain, but the feeling in the building is that he should be ready by the beginning of the season at the latest. Head coach Josh McDaniels refused to comment on Garoppolo's surgery on Thursday, the severity, and the timeline of recovery.
By focusing on his recovery, Garoppolo aims to strengthen his foot and regain full mobility - however less time with new teammates and being on a new team in general is likely not going to be beneficial for him. More qb news:
