When the Falcons meet the Dolphins Thursday night, not much will be at stake. There won’t be many, if any, starters getting playing time. There won’t be more than a handful of roster spots being decided by what happens. A loss here won’t dooooooom the Falcons for the upcoming 2018 season.
Yet there’s still plenty to watch for, if you can stomach the caliber of football being played. In no specific order, here’s what you should keep an eye on.
What to watch
- The last remaining battles. At the moment, there is probably some permutation of one receiver spot, 1-2 offensive line roles, 1-2 defensive line roles, a linebacker spot, and a cornerback spot open on this roster.
