NFL teams are now into their third week of the preseason. That means that fans can expect to see starters on both sides of the ball playing into the third quarter of this weekend's games.

It also means that the first cut -- taking rosters down to a maximum of 75 players -- is to be made by early next week. Between starters playing extra and guys fighting for a last chance at a job, there is plenty for fans to keep an eye on, even though the games don't count.
