NFL cutting preseason down to 2 games, NFLPA votes to not play any preseason games

The NFL reportedly plans to cut the preseason down from 4 games to 2 due to ongoing health concerns from the COVID-19 pandemic. Week 1 and Week 4 will reportedly be eliminated. This would mean the Redskins lose both of their preseason home games(Week 1: Titans, Week 4: Ravens).

This is bad news for undrafted free agents and bottom of the roster players as explained by Albert Breer:
