Jalen Milroe had an up-and-down first start in the Seattle Seahawks’ preseason game against the Green Bay Packers.

Milroe finished the game with 148 passing yards and one passing touchdown on 13-of-24 passing. He also rushed for 31 yards on seven carries.

Those are promising stats for an NFL rookie quarterback in his first preseason start. Unfortunately for Milroe, his three fumbles put a damper on those numbers.

Milroe did flash potential throughout the game. He hit Marquez Valdes-Scantling with a dot off a play-action pass in the second quarter.

Milroe’s first NFL preseason touchdown came when he connected with Cody White for an 18-yard score.

The former Alabama quarterback is expected to back up Sam Darnold during the 2025 season.
