The fourth preseason game is usually meaningless in regard to starting lineups, but it's big for the fringe players hoping to win a roster spot, and huge for youngsters trying to get some extra reps.
The fourth and final NFL preseason is, on the surface, as meaningless as it gets.
Many of the Seahawks starters played large chunks of the first three games, but may sit out Thursday’s game against the Oakland Raiders entirely, or play only briefly.
But for some players, this game could be one of the most important they’ll suit up for — for a few, it may be the last they ever suit up for, as well — because they get one last shot to show the Seahawks (and via film, every other NFL team) they are worth keeping around.
