The 2022 NFL preseason is officially underway. All 32 teams now have their sights set on finalizing their rosters and preparing for Week 1. But that doesn’t mean the preseason finale wasn’t important. Here’s a look at some key takeaways from each team’s final exhibition action.

Andy Isabella may still make an appearance. The former second-round speedster has been quiet through three NFL seasons before gaining 115 yards against the Titans. ?

Desmond Ridder isn’t ready yet. But neither is the setup around him, and it may be for a while.

Anthony Brown belongs as QB3. The undrafted Oregon product has caught the eye as both a scrambler and a big pitcher against the Commanders, and seems to have given Baltimore yet another young dual threat under center.

They need punters. Obviously, yes, but after suddenly sitting down and cutting Matt Aliza, his Suspected off-field misconductthey can’t go into the year with Matt Barkley as a special teams regular.

Baker Mayfield is ready. His shoulder is intact, and his throw has a zipper to spread the ball out. Given that Sam Darnold won’t be available for the time being, he should be ready too.

The defense should be solid. This would have been a decent bet had Matt Eberflus taken over, but even without the top starter playing he recorded an encouraging win alongside Jacoby Brissett and the Browns.

Evan McPherson is still that manThe kicker made it a perfect 3-for-3 on a field goal try that stalled Sincey’s red zone offense against the Rams. His star is still rising on the special teams scene.

Attacks can be a big problem. Not only because Deshaun Watson has been suspended, but also because Jacoby Brissett has yet to get a live game rep with the full first-team line-up. did.

Dan Quinn still seems to have his touch. Despite the big names resting, Dallas’ “D” racked up big plays against the Seahawks, securing a close game with a total of five takeaways.

They are built to run. This was already evident based on manning up front, backfield and outside, but was confirmed against the Vikings, with Mike Boone storming out on limited carry to headline the offense.

Dan Campbell may have a defense. Or at least one similar compared to last year. The starting unit kept the Steelers out of the end zone early on Sunday, despite some great throws from Mitch Trubisky.

Tyler Goodson deserves a touch. If Matt Lafleur is ready to lean more into the ground game after Davante Adams, the undrafted rookie could finish third behind Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon after a night of sly with the Chiefs. There is a nature.

Dameon Pierce is ready as RB1. If not now, soon. Florida’s product wasn’t the only ball carrier to gain yards against the 49ers, but he was the team’s most consistent chain mover.

Sam Ehringer is safe. Undrafted rookie Jack Coane had an accurate late-game throw in Week 2 of the preseason, but Ehrlinger led two scoring drives against the Buccaneers to show off his legs. Secured the 3rd QB job.

They make tough decisions at the receiver. seriously. Tim Jones recorded his 100-plus yards in the finale, but Trevor Laquon, who was Lawrence’s favorite for him in late 2021, also scored for his Treadwell. Laviska Shenault Jr. is also in danger. someone has to go

They have an underrated weapon. Tyreek Hill’s departure will be talked about throughout the year, but tight end Matt Bushman took on the Packers and rookie receiver Skyy Moore also showed his speed and vision on special teams.

Patrick Graham has a tape to make. His defense, despite resting most of the regulars, helped keep the Patriots’ first offense out of the gate, knocking McJones off the mark and giving Las Vegas an easy win.

Joshua Kelly is ready. Handling RB2 duties behind/beside Austin Ekeler. The veteran reserve turned a solid summer into his productive day against the Saints, even though he only scored 10 points on offense.

Lance McCutcheon is probably rock. The Montana State player was once again the team’s top receiver against the Bengals, and general manager Les Snead confirmed the rookie would make the final roster.

Tyreek Hill is their focus. Mike McDaniel made a point of involving the speedsters early in the game against the Eagles, with Tua Tagovailoa hitting a deep shot on the first play and connecting to wideout again on the same drive.

It’s the era of KJ Osborne. The third-year wideout was already supposed to play a bigger role in Kevin O’Connell’s offense, but the absence of reserve Bisi Johnson with another torn ACL saw him further out in the position. It’s becoming important.

Their staffing choices could ruin Mac Jones. exaggerated? Probably not, but given that Jones was visibly and rightfully frustrated with their duds against the Raiders’ backup, Bill Belichick still wanted his old, less aggressive assistant. I run the show.

I’m worried about the O line. Replacing Terron Armstead at left tackle would be difficult enough. increase.

Kenny Goladay is on thin ice. Maybe not in terms of his roster spots because of his contract, but at least on the depth chart. He played 14 snaps against the Jets despite other starters sitting However, coach Brian Daball did not guarantee a further job.

Denzel Mims might have a deal value. The former second-rounder was off just days after requesting a transfer, breaking through 100 yards on seven catches and entering the end zone with a diving score against the Giants.

They will probably only keep two QBs. Young Reed Sinnett had a promising Week 2 but lost to the Dolphins, with Gardner Minshew likely to be Jalen Hurts’ only backup going into the new year.

They have a close call to make at QB. Mitch Trubisky and Kenny Pickett made the most of their preseason opportunities and showed off some great touches behind the fine line. Do the Steelers prefer experience or advantage?

Trey Lance gets more painful. It’s not unexpected. But the new starting QB was unable to get San Francisco on the board before heading to the sidelines against the Texans, whose fans were impatient for real action.

DeeJay Dallas has his job cut short. With Chris Carson retiring and Kenneth Walker hitting hard, the veteran backup is poised for a significant increase in touch count as the healthiest ball carrier in Pete Carroll’s hard-hitting offense.

Tom Brady is fine. Each season of TB12 in Tampa Bay, he’s all set for an important year. In limited action against the Colts, he connected with Julio Jones and looked perfectly comfortable back on the field.

Tralon Burks remains a mystery. Yes, his rookie year hasn’t started yet, but his Cardinals show was the complete package: early injuries, promising touchdowns, and more questions about his availability in 2022.

Sam Howell has the grit to steal jobs. It’s probably been obvious for a while, but like Taylor Heinicke, he’s playing with fire. The rookie wasn’t perfect against the Ravens, but he’s come out of some losses and turned them into big gains.
