Brooks rushed for 23 yards and two touchdowns on five carries in Saturday's preseason game against the Giants. Just like the first preseason game, all of Brooks' activity came in the fourth quarter, which holds more meaning than the two touchdowns. The undrafted free agent out of North Carolina is unlikely to make the roster but could hook on as a member of the practice squad.

The New Orleans Saints' second preseason game, a 16-10 loss at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers, drew positive reviews for the play of the first-team offense and defense. When those units left the game, the Saints led 7-3 midway through the second quarter. It was New Orleans' backups that failed to hold that lead.

The Giants optioned Wisely to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. The move makes room on the 26-man roster for the reinstatement of Thairo Estrada (wrist) from the 10-day injured list. Wisely has been with the big club since May, but he saw his playing time diminish since the All-Star break, a span in which he's slashed .167/.207/.204 with six RBI across 56 plate appearances. Wisely will have an every day role in Sacramento, and he could return to the majors should the Giants need infield depth.

Coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Allen and the starters will not suit up for Saturday's preseason finale against the Panthers, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports. Allen also sat out last weekend's 9-3 exhibition win over the Steelers, though McDermott initially said the plan for that game was for starters to play a quarter and a half. Now, McDermott says plans have changed due to team-wide injury considerations. Allen remains at 100 percent form and has avoided injuries throughout training camp, but wide receiver Curtis Samuel (turf toe) is considered week-to-week, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (neck) could miss multiple weeks, so it makes sense for Buffalo to prioritize health at this stage.

Detroit, MI

Hooker completed 12 of 15 pass attempts for 150 yards in Saturday's preseason game against Kansas City while running for 11 yards and one touchdown on five attempts. Hooker has overcome the concussion he suffered Aug. 8 and was able to play the entire second half Saturday after Nate Sudfeld handled the first. The 2023 third-round pick out of Tennessee presumably figures into Detroit's roster plans through at least the 2024 season, but the competition with Sudfeld for the QB2 role behind Jared Goff might be ongoing. The two quarterbacks had comparable overall performances Saturday, but Hooker's 80.0 percent completion rate was markedly more efficient than Sudfeld's 51.9 percent figure.

Berrios (undisclosed) did not secure either of his two targets during Saturday's 13-6 preseason win over the Commanders. Berrios didn't do much in the receiving game, but he did return two kickoffs for 41 yards (20 and 21 yards each). His lone punt return was a fair catch. Rookie sixth-round pick Malik Washington was also involved in the return game, as he brought back five punts for 35 yards. Berrios missed time due to an undisclosed injury earlier in training camp but is now demonstrably healthy.
