The 2024 NFL preseason concludes for the Seattle Seahawks (1-1) at Lumen Field against the Cleveland Browns (0-2).
In NFL preseasons of decades past, the final exhibition would be exclusively backups and players looking to make the roster, while the starters would get the night off. With the reduction of preseason games from four to three, it’s not uncommon to see starters appear in the finale as a “dress rehearsal” before the regular season begins. Both head coaches Mike Macdonald and Kevin Stefanski indicated their teams will field starters on both sides of the ball, however brief it may be.
