It’s the preseason finale. The Jaguars provide a young opponent with a new head coach and hopefully a quality challenge on this August Saturday, and that challenge will help determine the contours of the initial Falcons 53 man roster.
The Falcons currently have an 80 man roster, with several big battles still left to resolve, including at least one starting skirmish at center. While the Falcons surely have a good idea of who they’re going to cut already at this point, there’s probably anywhere from 5-15 tough decisions to be made. Atlanta will of course scoop up other options once the other 31 teams make their cuts, but the general shape of the roster and the practice squad will be determined in the days after this preseason finale.
