Storylines to watch in Week 2
The 2021 NFL preseason has a somewhat new twist, as players are cut after every week, including another five after Week 2. Therefore, in all of the NFL games on the TV schedule this week, there is a storyline to watch regarding the back end of rosters. Make sure to keep up to date with all the latest roster moves with our 2021 NFL cut tracker.
When it comes to headlines, QBs will once again dominate this week. Drew Lock and Teddy Bridgewater are scrapping for a starting role. Can Trey Lance put pressure on Jimmy Garoppolo? And will it be Jacob Eason or Sam Ehlinger receiving the start Week 1 if Carson Wentz cannot make it back on the field?
