"I thought he could have been the opening day starter. I don't think he can be while missing this preseason game." @da Via @ESPNNFL on X

What happened: The setback follows Beck’s 188-yard Hall of Fame Game debut. The rookie loses another exhibition opportunity to build on that performance.

Why it matters: The timing disrupts Beck’s push for the opening assignment during a short evaluation window. His availability now weighs against the momentum created by his debut.

By the numbers: Beck passed for 188 yards in his Hall of Fame Game debut.

What to watch: Beck’s practice status will show whether he can return for another preseason audition.
