Preseason games become high‑risk investments for NFL hopefuls, where injury and performance can shift contracts from modest practice‑squad wages to multi‑million salaries.

The Houston Texans and Los Angeles Chargers opened their preseason with a tightly contested first half, featuring a 48‑yard field goal, a sack by Naquan Jones and a touchdown pass from Davis Mills to Jared Wayne.

The Los Angeles Chargers aim to rebound from a injury‑riddled 2025, leveraging a revamped offensive line, standout talent and a winning coaching philosophy to contend for a top‑scoring finish and a potential Super Bowl run.

The Minnesota Vikings wrapped up a three‑day mandatory minicamp, spotlighting quarterback competition, the return of left tackle Christian Darrisaw, and the emergence of young receivers, while also hosting the state‑champion Rosemount Irish.
