The Bills will close out the preseason Friday night in Carolina, where they will put their 10-game preseason winning streak on the line against the Panthers.

Sean McDermott chuckled when he was asked about the streak because, while winning is always a good thing, it’s not like he and the Bills have made winning a priority over evaluating players. "Don't jinx us," he told reporters.

McDermott said earlier in the week that most of the starters will not play in the finale, including Josh Allen, and those who do will most likely not be playing long. Thus, get ready to watch the second- and third-stringers as they try to make one last push to make the team.

General manager Brandon Beane said around 50 of the 53 roster spots have essentially been determined, so this last game will decide the final few, plus will impact who the Bills will try to bring back to their practice squad.
