Mitchell Trubisky Absent from Wednesday's Practice

Wednesday, August 19, 5:30 PM

Tennessee Titans quarterback Mitchell Trubisky (biceps) did not participate during Wednesday's morning drills, according to Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com. Trubisky exited early during Monday's practice session due to a biceps issue and appears to still be dealing with the injury. This sounds like a day-to-day issue, and the Titans are just being cautious with the veteran quarterback. He's expected to return to practice at some point during the week. If he misses more time, Will Levis and Hendon Hooker should see increased snaps as the backup for Cam Ward.

Cade Klubnik Wins Jets' Backup QB Job

Monday, August 31, 10:59 AM

New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said on Monday that rookie fourth-round quarterback Cade Klubnik will be the team's backup signal-caller to begin the 2026 regular season, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. Klubnik got the nod after the Jets cut both Brady Cook and Bailey Zappe on roster cutdown day on Sunday. The 22-year-old from Clemson went 21-for-34 passing for 197 yards with one interception in three preseason games. If anything happens to veteran starter Geno Smith this year, Klubnik will be thrown into the fire as the Jets' starter under center. The 35-year-old Smith is under contract for only one season, too, so if the Jets move on after one year, Klubnik could be the favorite to start for Gang Green going into Week 1 of the 2027 season. The 6-foot-2, 207-pounder had his best collegiate season in 2024 as a junior at Clemson, throwing for 3,639 yards, 36 touchdowns, and six interceptions in 14 games played. Klubnik is only stash-worthy as a QB prospect in dynasty/keeper leagues.
