Prepare. Preview. Pregame. Preseason.
The NFL regular season is almost here, but the teams and players need a few final tune-ups before playing the games that truly matter. There are no standings in the preseason and it ultimately means nothing for the team that will eventually hoist the Lombardi Trophy at the Super Bowl in February, but it's not entirely meaningless.
Positional battles will be on full display and some heroes may emerge for your respective squad during the dog days of summer.
The preseason lasts for just three weeks in the modern era for 30 teams, but two participants kicked off the action a week earlier at the Hall of Fame Game.
