Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Carson Beck (ribs) returned to practice Saturday after sitting out Thursday's preseason win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Bo Brack reported Beck was back on the field two days after Arizona held him out with minor rib discomfort. Beck suffered the injury when he was sacked late in the second quarter of the Hall of Fame Game against Carolina, though he stayed in and opened the third quarter. He was excellent before getting banged up, completing 15 of 19 passes for 188 yards and a touchdown in his NFL debut. Beck is currently third on Arizona's unofficial depth chart behind Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew II, so every preseason rep matters as the rookie works his way into the quarterback room. The Cardinals host Dallas on Aug. 22, giving Beck another chance to get back into game action if the ribs continue to cooperate.

New England Patriots wide receiver Romeo Doubs had a big day at Saturday's practice, catching three touchdowns according to Doug Kyed. It continues a strong stretch for Doubs after he started camp a little slowly and then began making more plays once he settled into the offense. The Patriots currently list him with the first-team offense, and he is coming off a 2025 season in Green Bay in which he caught 55 passes for a career-high 724 yards and six touchdowns. Doubs also led the Packers with 12 receptions of 20-plus yards. New England brought him in to be a significant part of the passing game alongside A.J. Brown, and days like Saturday are a good sign that the transition is coming along. Practice touchdowns only mean so much in August, but three in one session is hard to ignore. Doubs is giving himself a chance to carry some real red-zone appeal into the regular season.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart briefly left Saturday's preseason opener against the Minnesota Vikings after taking a big hit from safety Jay Ward. Connor Hughes reported that Dart was slow getting up after Tyrone Tracy Jr. missed the block, and the Giants' medical staff eventually pulled him from the game despite Dart initially trying to stay in. He was taken to the blue medical tent for an evaluation, but the scare didn't last long. Dart was cleared to return and came back onto the field on New York's next possession. He then connected with rookie Malachi Fields for a 15-yard touchdown pass. Dart dealt with several concussion evaluations during his rookie season, making any trip to the medical tent noteworthy. The good news Saturday is that he was quickly cleared and able to resume playing.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver D.J. Moore (lower leg) left Saturday's preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers after his third catch of the game. According to Matt Parrino, Moore grabbed at his ankle after picking up a first down, then came out and spoke with trainers before putting his helmet away. It was later reported that Moore was moving around well on the sideline while the medical staff looked at his lower leg. That is encouraging, but Buffalo has not announced a diagnosis or said whether Moore will miss any practice time. Most of the Bills' starting offense was coming out around the same point, so his day may have been finished regardless. Moore joined Buffalo in an offseason trade after catching 50 passes for 682 yards and six touchdowns for Chicago last season. He has quickly become a major part of the Bills' offense, making his status worth watching once the team provides an update.
