Who Should I Start? Mitchell Trubisky or Tyler Huntley

Saturday, August 9, 7:21 PM

With reigning MVP Josh Allen sitting out Saturday's preseason opener against the New York Giants, the Buffalo Bills handed the reins to reserve quarterback Mitch Trubisky to start the game. The 30-year-old performed well in a 34-25 loss in the first half, completing nine of his 13 passing attempts for 138 yards, including an 11-yard touchdown to tight end Dawson Knox. In his final drive of the day, Trubisky found wide receiver Tyrell Shavers downfield for 58 yards to set the Bills up for a chip-shot field goal in the waning seconds of the half. Trubisky appeared in nine games for the Bills last year, mostly working in mop-up duty, and connected on 19 of 26 passes for 179 yards and two scores. Formerly a starter with the Chicago Bears and Pittsburgh Steelers, Trubisky has spent the summer battling Mike White for the No. 2 role in Buffalo. White also played well on Saturday, meaning neither quarterback has pulled away in the race. The next opportunity to do so will come Aug. 17 against the Bears, who made the ill-fated decision to draft Trubisky second overall in 2017.

Free-agent quarterback Tyler Huntley has agreed to sign with the Cleveland Browns, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. This will be the second stint with the organization for Huntley, who signed with the Browns in March 2024 but didn't earn a roster spot during the preseason. He ended up spending time with the Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins after that. Huntley appeared in five games for the Dolphins last year and completed 64.7% of passes with three touchdowns and three interceptions. Overall, the 27-year-old has appeared in 25 games (mostly with the Ravens) and connected on 64.6% of attempts with 11 TDs and 10 picks. He'll give the Browns some insurance under center as Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel deal with hamstring injuries. For now, Huntley will join Joe Flacco and Shedeur Sanders as the team's healthy signal-callers.
