Football is officially here.
The NFL preseason is underway this week, as all 32 teams in the league get set for three weeks of exhibition games to prepare for the 2023 regular season. The Browns and Jets kicked off the festivities last week with the Hall of Fame Game.
Looking at Week 1 of the NFL preseason, No. 2 overall pick C.J. Stroud gets his first game action as quarterback of the Texans, as Houston travels to Foxborough on Thursday to take on Mac Jones and the Patriots. On Friday, we may get our first look at Baker Mayfield wearing a Tampa Bay jersey, with the Buccaneers facing off against Kenny Pickett and the Steelers.
On the weekend, the highlights are Aaron Rodgers’ potential first game as a Jet with New York going head-to-head against No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young and the Panthers, as well as Patrick Mahomes and the defending Super Bowl champs playing against the Saints and new QB Derek Carr.
