Latest extracted insights

Kyle MonangaiNegativeYahoo Sports NFL
Suffered a right knee injury during practice when Grady Jarrett tackled him from behind; no pads were being worn. Trainer Andre Tucker tested the knee on field and Monangai walked off without needing a cart, though he was walking very gingerly. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported from a source that Monangai is believed to be 'fine' with initial tests showing his knee to be structurally sound, but the team will conduct an MRI to confirm. Bears open season against Carolina Panthers in four weeks.
Spencer RattlerNegativeYahoo Sports NFL
QB Spencer Rattler logged just 42 passing yards with a 3.8 yards per attempt average, the lowest among the Saints' three passers. The source attributes his benching to 'lack of big play ability,' which Saturday's performance reinforced. His one touchdown drive was aided by an 82-yard kickoff return and a 9-yard run from Audric Estime. With Wilson's strong performance, 'Rattler's QB2 chances took a significant hit.' The source notes Rattler 'has come up quite a bit recently as a trade candidate' and suggests 'more strong performances from Wilson and a lack to prove himself by Rattler could result in him being part of another team in the near future.'
Zach WilsonPositiveYahoo Sports NFL
Wilson was the Saints' best passer in Week 1 preseason, completing 11-of-16 for 145 yards and a touchdown with no turnovers and just one sack. His 9.1 yards per attempt efficiency stood out; he passed for more yards than Spencer Rattler and Hunter Dekkers combined and was the only QB to record a passing touchdown. Wilson's throws were quick, accurate, and placed in tight coverage with good velocity. The source notes his strong day 'definitely opened the door' to a QB2 competition.
