With the Cleveland Browns wrapping up their preseason schedule on Thursday night, a lot of players on the fringe of being cut will need some big performances if they want to have a spot on the Browns final roster and ‘earn their stripe’ on their helmet.
Teams have until Saturday to finalize their 53-man roster for the regular season, with a lot of decisions on who to keep already made.
The final preseason game will help the Browns front office and coaching staff make a decision on guys that are in close competitions.
The key for the players still fighting for a job on Thursday night is to have such a good performance that it will make it hard for the organization to decide to move on from that player.
