So far we’ve seen a big shift in team’s approaches to the preseason in 2019, and that includes Week 3, which has typically been used as the closest thing to a dress rehearsal in past years. This was the week we would expect to see a majority of starters play for at least the first half, if not longer, but with the health of players on the forefront of coaches’ minds, this has been a dying trend.
Still, there should be some interesting games on Friday night, especially with some of the younger teams or teams with new head coaches taking advantage of the live reps to iron out any miscommunications or situations.
