Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed that quarterback Jayden Daniels will be the starter for the game against the Jets, marking a significant change for the team. Daniels looked accurate and decisive during practice, showcasing poise in the pocket and negotiating the pass rush with ease.
The unofficial depth chart also revealed surprises, including two starting running backs, Brian Robinson Jr. and Austin Ekeler, listed. On the defensive side, cornerback Emmanuel Forbes was listed as a second-team defender despite getting first-team reps throughout training camp.
