The second full week of the NFL preseason begins on Thursday, August 17. The main slate of games will occur on Saturday, August 19, with 11 games on the schedule. NFL Network will host a full day of games starting at 1 p.m. ET as the Jacksonville Jaguars take on the Detroit Lions. The day’s final game features the Dallas Cowboys facing the Seattle Seahawks, with kickoff set at 10 p.m. ET.
The Lions are down their top two pass-catchers as both Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams deal with injuries. This leaves Marvin Jones Jr., Josh Reynolds, Kalif Raymond and Denzel Mims as quarterback Jared Goff’s best options.
C.J. Stroud was criticized for his early interception last week during his preseason debut. He will have a tough test against the Miami Dolphins defense, but the Texans’ faithful will want to see their franchise quarterback look more poised under center.
The Indianapolis Colts have named their rookie QB Anthony Richardson their Week 1 starting quarterback. He will likely get important reps in Saturday’s game, and he continues to build rapport with his teammates. With his being named the regular season starter, however, he likely won’t stick around long in the game to try and protect him from potential injury.
