Illini in the NFL Preseason | Illinois Fighting Illini Football News

NFL preseason is heating up with former Fighting Illini making waves across the league—Texans’ Jake Hansen, 49ers’ Malik Turner and Nate Hobbs, Chargers’ DelShawn Phillips and Dalevon Campbell all getting reps. Jets’ Isaiah Williams and Panthers’ Casey Washington are seeing game action, while Packers’ Josh Gesky, Pat Bryant, and Miles Scott shine on defense. But not all news is positive: Commanders’ Jer’Zhan Newton’s torn pec ends his season, and Luke Altmyer’s debut had highs and lows. J.C. Davis anchors Giants’ offensive line with elite pass-blocking. Elsewhere, Ted Karras stays flawless for Bengals, Tommy DeVito finds the end zone for Patriots, and Chase McLaughlin nails his only FG for Buccaneers. Injuries linger—Kendrick Green IR, Tip Reiman PUP—but talent from Illinois continues to rise as players fight for their spots in the regular season.
