NFL Preseason Week 4: Bradley Bozeman, Shon Coleman push against roster bubble

The NFL's preseason schedule concludes on Thursday night with 16 games. Most teams will keep their starters on the sidelines. Some will bench key reserves, too.

So who's left to play?

In many cases, it'll be players who are hoping a good performance on Thursday night will tilt a roster decision their way.

NFL teams have 90 players on their preseason rosters. At 3 p.m. CDT Saturday, they are allowed only 53 for the duration of the season. That means more than 1,100 players now on NFL rosters won't be in a couple of days.

Former Daphne High School standout Eric Lee knows all about battling for a roster spot in training camp, but it's new to rookies, such as Bradley Bozeman and Cams Sims from Alabama -- the former a draft pick, the latter an undrafted signee.
