The Cincinnati Bengals and Philadelphia Eagles won’t be straying from the league’s conventional wisdom on who plays in a preseason finale.
In most recent years, the final game of the preseason is more often about players on the roster bubble than each team’s stars. The NFL’s deadline to cut rosters down from 90 to 53 players is mere days after the final games on the preseason exhibition schedule. In the final matchups before the regular season, players on the bubble have one last shot to make their cases for why they deserve a spot, while starters usually get more time to rest before the regular season grind begins – if they don’t take a handful of snaps.

Cincinnati head coach Zac Taylor has already announced that Bengals starters won’t play. The Eagles haven’t played starters in either of their first two preseason games.
Both teams still have some positional battles to figure out further down on the depth chart, and they’ll use the preseason finale to help make those decisions easier.
Here’s how to watch the Bengals face the Eagles:
