We're now into the third week of the 2019 NFL preseason. This is widely viewed as the most important part of the action before the regular season gets underway. In reality, the most important week of the preseason is still to come.
We won't see many, if any, projected starters in Week 4, but the final slate of games heralds cutdown day. By 4 p.m. on August 31, teams have to be down to 53 players. This means a lot of difficult decisions are looming.
Due to factors like injuries, undesirable contracts and position depth, some quality guys will have to be let go—potentially into the waiting arms of the budding XFL.
