The Cleveland Browns are set to play the Minnesota Vikings in a preseason game focused on evaluating younger players, particularly quarterbacks Dorian Thompson-Robinson and Tyler Huntley, who are vying for the No. 3 spot. Meanwhile, the Green Bay Packers' offense struggled in joint practices with the Denver Broncos, highlighting the need for improvement ahead of their preseason game. Denver's first-round pick Bo Nix is expected to start as quarterback against the Packers, with significant positional battles still ongoing. The New Orleans Saints will face the San Francisco 49ers in a game that has become more critical due to canceled joint practices. The 49ers are particularly interested in the performance of linebacker Dee Winters and finding a replacement for injured defensive tackle Kalia Davis.
