Overview

• Head coach Kellen Moore told reporters Tuesday he has not chosen a Week 1 starter and described the competition as "really, really close."
• Spencer Rattler led a late rally against Jacksonville, hitting Dante Pettis for a 20-yard touchdown with 21 seconds left and running in the two-point conversion; he finished 18-of-24 for 199 yards with one interception.
• Rookie Tyler Shough started versus the Jaguars and went 9-of-12 for 66 yards after a stronger preseason opener against the Chargers (15-of-22, 165 yards, one touchdown, one interception).
• Jake Haener did not play against Jacksonville after serving as the third quarterback in the opener, underscoring the two-man nature of the race.
• Some outlets have floated the possibility of a veteran addition such as Jameis Winston if he becomes available during cutdowns, though current signals point to continued in-house evaluation.
