The NFL Preseason was back in action last night with 3 Games: 

The Ravens beat the Colts 24-16, Eagles down the Bengals 34-27, and the late night game between the Raiders and Seahawks ends in a rare 23-23 tie, as the game winning FG attempt was blocked as time expired. 

In NFL News: Los Angeles Chargers star left tackle Rashawn Slater will miss the entire 2025 season after tearing a patellar tendon during practice. Slater became the highest-paid offensive linemen in NFL history on July 27 when he signed a 4-year $114 million extension.

And Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson suffered a dislocated pinky in Thursday’s preseason loss to the Ravens and is considered day-to-day.
