So we’re getting closer to the NFL regular season kickoff. But for now there was some Week 2 preseason action on Thursday night and some other NFL News. Before we get to the preseason game, there were some things happening around the NFL. Earlier today we reported that the Atlanta Falcons acquired former New England Patriot Matthew Judon. Furthermore, they have also added veteran safety Justin Simmons to a one-year, $8 million deal of which $7.5 million is fully guaranteed.
However, there was bad news coming out of Minnesota today. As reported by NFL Network:
Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell announced on Wednesday that McCarthy underwent surgery on his torn right meniscus and will miss the 2024 season.
“It was a successful procedure, but it did reveal that a repair was necessary which will end J.J.’s 2024 season,” O’Connell told reporters.
So Sam Darnold will be the starting quarterback for the Vikings this season. In other injury news, Buffalo Bills linebacker Matt Milano suffered a torn bicep during Tuesday’s practice. Head coach Sean McDermott confirmedMilano will undergo surgery that will put him out indefinitely. The coach described the injury as an “unfortunate situation,” noting that it happened during a bag tackling drill.
Kicking off the Week 2 preseason on Thursday night was the Eagles vs. Patriots. Jacoby Brissett, projected to be the starting quarterback for the Patriots, led the first drive of the game. Also the other Patriots starters were on the field. They went three and out and punted. Jalen Hurts did not play for the Eagles and Kenny Pickett started the game at quarterback. The Eagles also played all of their starters. On their second possession the Eagles took an early lead with a field goal.

For the rest of preseason Week 2, there will be 13 games on Saturday and 2 games on Sunday. FOX will broadcast the Saints vs. 49ers Sunday game, whereas NFL Network will broadcast the Packers vs. Broncos Sunday game. Check your local listings for broadcast information for the Saturday games.
