The NFL preseason has kicked off with the Carolina Panthers, New England Patriots, New York Giants, and Detroit Lions playing their first games. This initial week provides a glimpse into new talents on each roster.
In the Patriots' 17-3 win against the Panthers, rookie quarterback Drake Maye had a brief debut, playing just seven snaps. Undrafted free agent David Wallis impressed as a punt returner, while notable newcomer Dane Jackson saw action for the Panthers.
The Giants faced the Lions, ending in a 14-3 victory. Rookie Malik Nabers participated but didn't get targeted. Quarterback Drew Lock left the game with a minor hip injury.
The Lions kept many starters off the field, but rookie cornerbacks Terrion Arnold and Ennis Rakestraw Jr. showed promise. Hendon Hooker returned to action after recovering from an ACL injury but exited with a possible concussion.
