Several starting positions remain open ahead of Saturday’s final preseason scrimmage, including quarterback. The scrimmage will serve as the last reported preseason evaluation before the depth chart takes shape. No starter has been identified, and no details have been reported on the candidates involved, their performances, or when a decision will be announced. The quarterback battle is the most consequential of the unsettled spots because it affects the offense’s preparation at its most important position. For now, the job remains open.
