What happened: The completion came during the 2026 preseason finale. Clifford signed on Aug. 19, nine days before the game.

Why it matters: Uiagalelei entered the finale competing for backup quarterback duties. Clifford received a late evaluation opportunity after joining the roster near the end of camp.

By the numbers: Uiagalelei completed 7 of 15 passes for 80 yards and one touchdown in his previous preseason appearance.

What to watch: Opening-week roles for Uiagalelei and Clifford will come into focus after final cuts.
