3) The Cardinals started their cuts early by letting quarterback Colt McCoy know on Monday he won’t make the team despite having over $2 million guaranteed due him this season. That leaves fifth-round rookie Clayton Tune or veteran Josh Dobbs — acquired from Cleveland over the weekend for a late-round pick swap — to start the opener. I wrote before the preseason started that Tune had a chance to be the Week 1 starter, and that’s my guess now. Kyler Murray is out for at least the first four weeks of the season, continuing to make his way back from last December’s ACL tear on the PUP list. It wouldn’t surprise me if Murray misses the whole season, should the Cardinals fall quickly out of the playoff race.

4) Lost in the shuffle of the Dobbs trade: Browns fifth-round pick Dorian Thompson-Robinson won the team’s Backup Quarterback Job after an impressive preseason. The Browns have only two quarterbacks as of now, though head coach Kevin Stefanski did say Cleveland is planning to add a third.

5) Jake Browning claimed the Bengals backup quarterback job over Trevor Siemian. The Bengals should want to do better when the rest of the roster is this good, but on Tuesday, coach Zac Taylor said he feels good about Browning. Joe Burrow is expected to be ready for Week 1, barring any setbacks with his calf injury.

6) Speaking of backup-quarterback depth charts for Super Bowl contenders, the Bills placed Matt Barkley on injured reserve. That makes Kyle Allen the backup to Josh Allen.

7) Blaine Gabbert won the Chiefs’ backup quarterback job over Shane Buechele. Hopefully that’s the last we hear about non-Patrick Mahomes Chiefs quarterbacks for the rest of the season.

8) The Bears cut Nathan Peterman just a few days after cutting veteran PJ Walker. It wouldn’t be a surprise if the Bears seek out another veteran quarterback, because undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent is currently the backup behind Justin Fields.

9) Most teams seemingly decided to keep two quarterbacks for now, despite the new NFL rule that a third quarterback who does not count against the active game day roster can be used if necessary.

10) The Saints let go of veteran cornerback Bradley Roby in a surprise move. New Orleans has experimented with trying second-year pro Alontae Taylor in the slot, with Marshon Lattimore and Paulson Adebo starting on the outside.

11) Bills pass rusher Von Miller is out at least the first four games of the season after being placed on the PUP list. With the 34-year-old Miller coming off a torn ACL, it was always a big long shot for him to be ready for the start of the season.

12) While it’s not a surprise, it’s still amazing to see Damar Hamlin on the Bills’ initial 53-man roster, as originally reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Hamlin is probably fourth on the Bills’ safety depth chart, possibly the best safety group in the entire NFL.
