The final preseason week begins Thursday, Aug. 27, with four games and the rest of the 16-game slate running through Saturday.
Week 3 is less about predicting regular-season form and more about quarterback depth, offensive-line combinations, special teams and the final roster spots. Teams must reduce to 53 players by Aug. 30.
Steelers-Bills, Patriots-Browns, 49ers-Raiders and Rams-Chargers open the week. Starter availability varies by club, so late inactive and rotation news matters more than usual.
