Rookies and Quarterbacks to Watch
In Tennessee, rookie quarterback Cam Ward will get more reps after a promising debut in last week’s loss to Tampa Bay. The Falcons will once again lean on backup Easton Stick, who looked sharp in the opener as Michael Penix Jr. remains sidelined. Stick’s performance could influence Atlanta’s long-term quarterback plans.
In Seattle, fans will be watching rookie wide receiver Tory Horton, who impressed last week and is now earning first-team reps. Chiefs hopefuls Tyquan Thornton and Robert Tonyan aim to cement their spots, with both needing strong performances.
