NFL training camp 2023 live updates: Stroud gets the nod; Purdy held for preseason game - ESPN

As 2023 NFL training camps continued Monday, news rolled in, including No. 2 pick C.J. Stroud being named the starter for the Houston Texans' first preseason game Thursday at the New England Patriots.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Devin White also spoke publicly for the first time since requesting a trade, and veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett took reps with the Washington Commanders' first team.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr also shined.

Here's what you need to know from camps across the league:

49ers unlikely to play QB Brock Purdy in preseason opener

49ers quarterback Brock Purdy's first preseason snaps in a game will likely have to wait until at least the Niners' second preseason contest set for Aug. 20 against the Denver Broncos. If they happen at all.

Rookie QB C.J. Stroud named starter for first preseason game

Stroud and third-year quarterback Davis Mills have been in a battle throughout camp for the starting spot, but coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that the No. 2 pick from April's draft would get the start over Mills in the preseason opener. Stroud and Mills split first-team reps throughout most of training camp, but Stroud has started to get the majority of the snaps.

RB Kareem Hunt to visit the Saints on Tuesday

A day after the New Orleans Saints placed running back Eno Benjamin on injured reserve with a ruptured Achilles, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported that they will bring in Kareem Hunt to add depth. The move also would help soften the blow from losing Alvin Kamara for the first three games after he was suspended because of a violation of the NFL's personal conduct policy.
