NFL Preseason Highlights: Ty Simpson Shines, Devon Witherspoon Signs Record Extension

The NFL preseason has kicked off with notable performances and developments as teams prepare for the upcoming regular season. Ty Simpson, a rookie quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams, showcased his talent in his debut, completing 21 of 25 passes for 190 yards and two touchdowns without any interceptions.

Simpson's performance comes as a surprise to some, given he was selected 13th overall in the draft. Meanwhile, the Seattle Seahawks have made headlines by signing cornerback Devon Witherspoon to a four-year contract extension worth $132 million, which includes over $101 million guaranteed, setting a new record for his position.

Injury updates from the preseason include Minnesota Vikings defensive back Jamal Adams, who will miss the entire 2026 season due to a knee injury. New York Jets running back Breece Hall is expected to be sidelined for 2-3 weeks with a groin injury, while New Orleans Saints rookie Jordyn Tyson may miss around two months with a hamstring injury. The Arizona Cardinals' Jeremiyah Love is also facing uncertainty with a high-ankle sprain.
