Preseason Week 3 TV channels, times for Saturday

Finale.

The curtain comes down on the NFL preseason with a Saturday doubleheader. And at this stage, players across the league are playing the waiting game.

Roster cuts are coming into focus with the deadline looming at 6 p.m. ET on Sunday, Aug. 30. It means that rosters will shrink from 90 players to just 53, marking the end of the road for countless players – at least temporarily.

For now, the focus is on the final 120 minutes of game action before those tough decisions are made.

Players for the Indianapolis Colts, Detroit Lions, Tennessee Titans and Chicago Bears still have one last chance to make an impression.

One more solid showing could make all the difference.

Here’s what to know about the final day of the NFL preseason.

NFL preseason Week 3 highlight

While a player of Gardner’s caliber is expected to notch turnovers, that hasn’t been his reputation since entering the league. Gardner owns just three career INTs, his last coming in 2024.

It might be a sight for Colts’ fans eyes as he picked off Detroit Lions depth QB Luke Altmyer on Saturday.
