POWER INDEX

Puka Nacua left practice with a minor groin issue. Donald worked out for the team again; rookie RT Trost is expected to miss a few weeks. Slight score drop but still #1.

Even with most teams resting starters, the Bills had Allen slinging it under Joe Brady. Hints that a defensive-first approach may be in the past.

Defending Super Bowl LX champions lost their first preseason game to the Cowboys (starters mostly rested). Kicking tires on secondary help; pending Arnold signing is an unneeded distraction.

Lost to the Rams. Backup WRs didn't show much—something to watch given past health issues at the position, but minor at this stage.

Dominant preseason win over the Falcons and a relatively quiet camp so far; slight score bump.

Quiet preseason/camp for the first time in years. Beat the Seahawks 17-7; UDFA rookie WR had 2 TDs. Signed Von Miller for defensive help.

Tied the Colts in preseason. Aside from some penalties and offensive sloppiness, nothing major.

Mostly without starters, outplayed the Eagles in HC Minter's first game. C Pinter was carted off Wednesday; status unknown.

Injuries as usual—new starters out daily for rest. CMC battling tightness and possible contract talks.

Starters sat in a preseason loss to the Ravens; lack of effort was concerning. 1st-round pick Lemon still not practicing; Greenard's early-season availability is a question mark.

Lost first preseason game. Defensive depth and injuries remain concerns. Tucker Kraft and Josh Jacobs returning to practice is a positive.

34-10 win over the Browns (most starters rested). WR depth looks like a strength. Lost S Coby Bryant for most of the year; Kyle Monangai will miss multiple weeks.

Close preseason loss to the Bengals; nothing stood out. Jameson Williams has a lingering shoulder issue; C Cade Mays out ~2 months.

Burrow and starters played a bit—ugly sack then big gain to Chase. Same inconsistent O-line issues. Lingering defensive injuries.

Signed veteran Keenan Allen, reuniting with HC Shane Steichen. Not the WR he once was, but the reunion could help.

Beat up the Texans in Week 1 preseason. Defense looked well-coached despite losing DC Jesse Minter. Multiple injuries in joint practice with 49ers, notably C Tyler Biadasz (ACL).

Battled to a preseason win. Quiet offseason until this week's injuries: starting RG Mekari out for some time; WR Washington and others sidelined.

Mike McCarthy era started well with a 19-point preseason win over Green Bay. Quiet offseason so far. WR Pittman Jr. missing time; depth still looks strong.

Lost badly to the Chargers (most starters sat). Rookie Kamari Ramsey showed flashes. Lost WR Jayden Higgins in Tuesday joint practice—key for a team that struggled at WR last year.

Mendoza solid in first outing; Cousins looked like the expected bridge QB1. O-line looked improved, though Powers-Johnson is dealing with an injury and role questions.

Contract hold-ins for Vita Vea and Baker Mayfield. Some WR injuries, but solid overall roster. Rookie QB Klubnik looked good. Can they stay together?

Jayden Daniels' team created an unneeded distraction this week. Lost backup Mariota; DT Newton has a lingering pec issue.

Lost to the Vikings. QB Dart took a big hit, went to the medical tent, then returned. Need to keep him healthy. Signed veteran Najee Harris.

Won on the scoreboard but felt like a loss. Jamal Adams out for the season (right knee)—big blow to Brian Flores' defense. Young offense still a concern.

DE Pearce Jr. suspended 8 games. Penix not fully back, so QB competition hasn't started. Signed Za'Darius Smith (who was eyeing the Browns).

Bryce Young and the offense struggled in their first preseason outing. Added TE Darren Waller.

Injury issues continue. Rookie WR Jordan Tyson out a couple of months; Alvin Kamara expected to miss time with a knee.

Cam Ward and the offense rough vs. the 49ers. RB injuries and CB Johnson's suspension have them trending the wrong way.

Lost preseason game. Breece Hall will miss some time but expected ready for Week 1. Geno Smith nursing an ankle.

Injuries piling up. Jeremiah Love out with ankle; OL Bisontis needs knee surgery; Carson Beck has a rib injury.

Not expected to finish worst, but hard to get excited about the rebuild and how the young players will respond.

QB play up-and-down in Week 1. Lost out on DE Smith to the Falcons. Still a defense-first team until they find a QB identity.
