Head Coach Vic Fangio told the media today after practice that most of the starters will not play at all in the upcoming preseason game against the Rams on Saturday night.
“Most of the guys that you’re referring to as starters will not play in the game,” coach Fangio said today. “It’s our fourth game, not our third. I just feel like that it’s the best thing to do for our team right now.”
This is notable because the third preseason game is typically the closest to a real NFL game you get in the preseason, which is why it is referred to as the “dress rehearsal” game.
