Mason Rudolph News
Thursday, August 13, 6:22 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph completed 10 of 11 pass attempts for 93 yards in a 28-9 preseason victory over the Green Bay Packers. Rudolph got off to a rocky start, taking two sacks over his first four snaps, but quickly settled in and led the offense down the field on its second possession. Although the Steelers were unable to score after an offensive holding penalty nullified a three-yard rushing touchdown by Lew Nichols, Rudolph displayed early chemistry with rookie wideout Germie Bernard and several other pass-catchers throughout the drive. The 31-year-old then gave way to second-year pro Will Howard and rookie signal-caller Drew Allar, both of whom also impressed. It will be interesting to see how Pittsburgh's quarterback depth chart shakes out entering the regular season, with all three players competing for backup duties behind Aaron Rodgers. Rudolph is likely to see additional preseason action next weekend against the New York Jets.

Sam Howell News
Sunday, August 16, 1:13 PM
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Sam Howell was sharp in his first preseason action with the team Saturday, completing eight of 12 passes for 94 yards and a touchdown in a 17-7 win over the Seattle Seahawks. He finished the first half with a 118.1 passer rating and did not turn the ball over. Howell's best drive came just before halftime. He scrambled for 10 yards on third-and-7, then capped the seven-play, 65-yard possession with a 39-yard touchdown pass to rookie Camden Brown. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer liked what he saw from both quarterbacks, saying they handled Seattle's pressure well, moved the offense and protected the football. Howell is battling Joe Milton III for the job behind Dak Prescott, and Dallas listed the two with an "or" on its first unofficial depth chart. Milton was strong in the second half as well, so Howell didn't pull away Saturday. He did plenty to keep himself right in the middle of the competition.
