The NFL preseason is underway, and the action is heating up! With the Hall of Fame game already in the books, the real fun begins this week as 30 teams get their first taste of live game action. The Friday night lights tripleheader is a highlight, with several notable players making their preseason debuts.
One of the most anticipated debuts is Tua Tagovailoa's first taste of live game snaps since joining the Atlanta Falcons as a free agent. The former Alabama quarterback will start against the Denver Broncos, giving fans a glimpse into his potential impact for the team this season.
In other notable news, the New York Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will face off in a highly anticipated matchup. The Jets' Garrett Wilson looks fully recovered from his knee injury, and he's already making an impact with acrobatic catches. Meanwhile, the Buccaneers' offense will be led by their own star wide receiver, Mike Evans.
The Washington Commanders and Miami Dolphins will also take the field, with the Commanders' Sam Howell and the Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa both looking to make their mark. The Miami Dolphins' rookie wide receiver, Caleb Douglas, is also expected to make an impact with his highlight-reel catches.
The preseason games are not just about the stars, though. They're also a chance for lesser-known players to shine. The Broncos' Courtland Sutton, for example, lit up the preseason game with three catches for 60 yards and nearly coming down with a 40-yard touchdown. The Commanders' Sam Howell and the Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa will also be looking to make their mark.
The NFL Network will broadcast several nationally televised games throughout the preseason, including Friday's Buccaneers-Jets matchup. A majority of games will be broadcast in local markets on CBS, NBC, and others. For cord-cutters, NFL+ Premium will broadcast every preseason game, and Fubo carries NFL Network, as well as CBS, NBC, Fox, and the ESPN family of networks.
The preseason is a crucial time for teams to evaluate their rosters and make adjustments. It's also a chance for fans to get a glimpse into the future of their favorite teams. With so much action and so many players making their debuts, the NFL preseason is a must-watch for any football fan.
