The 2018 NFL preseason concludes for all 32 teams on Thursday night, with the Seattle Seahawks closing their August out with a home game against the Oakland Raiders. As is standard, the fourth preseason game does not involve first-team players beyond maybe the opening series. This is all about the backups, fringe talents, and guys on the bubble who are looking to avoid the chopping block when roster cuts are finalized on Saturday.
If we’re being perfectly honest, most NFL teams know who they’re going cut even before the preseason finale, so even an unexpected impressive performance in game action is not going to be enough.
