Seventh-round rookie quarterback Morton dazzled in the Patriots’ 24-21 preseason win over the Eagles, throwing for 129 yards, a touchdown, and zero interceptions — including the game-sealing 37-yard TD to DeGennaro. Though he’s slated as the emergency third QB behind DeVito and Maye, his poise under pressure and strong performance signal he’s ready to step in if needed. With a high-impact showing and more reps on tap against the Browns, Morton’s breakout preseason could reshape his role — and the team’s depth chart — for the season.

Tremble’s preseason debut against the Jaguars was a statement: two catches for 20 yards, including a key 15-yard TD grab from Bryce Young — all in just five snaps. Listed as starter while Darren Waller watched, Tremble proved he can make an impact when called upon. With consistent production over the past two seasons — 23+ catches and 230+ yards each — he’s clearly earned his role. But with Waller back, the battle for snaps is far from over. The Panthers’ tight end future hinges on how they balance experience and upside as the regular season looms.

George Pickens is facing mounting pressure as his preseason performance falls short of expectations, snagging just two catches for 18 yards in a shutout loss to the Jets — and notably, he was targeted on two interceptions that could’ve been avoided with better route running. As a third-round pick slotted at No. 3 wide receiver, his stock is slipping, with rookie Germie Bernard now potentially ahead of him on the depth chart. With the Steelers’ final preseason game against the Bills looming, all eyes are on Pickens to deliver a breakout showing and prove he belongs in the starting lineup before the regular season begins.

Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington got limited snaps in the Steelers’ preseason loss to the Jets, with neither seeing a single target — a quiet start for two tight ends expected to be key targets for Aaron Rodgers. Freiermuth, entering his sixth season after a down year with career lows in catches and targets, is being counted on to step up alongside a receiving corps dealing with injuries, including DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman. The real test isn’t in the preseason stats — it’s in how they build chemistry and become the offensive anchors the team needs when the regular season kicks off.

Rome Odunze is primed to take center stage for the Bears this season, snagging his first career catch in preseason action — and with DJ Moore gone and top target Luther Burden sidelined, Odunze’s role is exploding. He’s on pace for his most targeted year yet, with a big opportunity looming as the team opens against the Panthers on September 13th — and he’s got time to prepare for the spotlight.

Milton dominated the Cowboys’ preseason win over the Cardinals, throwing for 179 yards, two touchdowns through the air, and adding a rushing score — including a jaw-dropping 53-yard bomb and an eight-yard TD pass to seal momentum. His standout performance puts him ahead in the backup QB race against Sam Howell, showcasing poise and big-play ability under pressure. With one more game against the Saints this Friday, Milton’s momentum could solidify his role — and fans are watching closely as the regular season looms.
