This game offers a chance for various quarterbacks, including Joshua Dobbs and Ben Wooldridge, to showcase their skills.
Mike Vrabel indicated that health would determine player participation in the preseason opener, emphasizing the need for his squad to prepare for competitive play. "I would say most everybody that's healthy should expect to play in the game. How long they'll play, I don't know," he said, underlining the team's focus on winning and game readiness.
Drake Maye expressed eagerness for preseason action, viewing it as an opportunity to overcome early-game jitters. He stated, "I think preseason's a time to go out there and get the jitters. In real life, when I'm live, it's different for me being able to get tackled and get hit. So, it's good to go out there and kind of feel like live bullets are flying around."
