NFL Hokies look to stand out on Thursday night

Thursday marks the final preseason game for NFL clubs before teams must cut down to 53 players by 4 p.m. ET on Saturday. However, there's a chance that players released could come back to the practice squad. Each NFL team can establish a 10-man practice squad on Sunday.
 
Thursday, August 29
 
Pittsburgh at Carolina – 7:00 p.m. ET
RB Trey Edmunds, S Terrell Edmunds and the Pittsburgh Steelers host K Joey Slye and the Carolina Panthers. Slye made a 41-yard field goal in last week's game against the Patriots. Tech's all-time leading scorer is a perfect 6-6 on FGs for the Panthers, subbing for an injured K Graham Gano. It could be interesting to see where Slye lands with several clubs in need of a consistent kicker. In the Steelers' 18-6 win against the Titans, Trey Edmunds had six carries for 12 yards and his younger brother had three tackles and a pass defended.


Minnesota at Buffalo – 7:00 p.m. ET
LB Tremaine Edmunds, WR Cam Phillips and the Buffalo Bills will host the Minnesota Vikings. Edmunds tallied eight tackles and one tackle for loss in their 24-20 win against the Lions, while Phillips saw 11 snaps at receiver on the day

Baltimore at Washington – 7:30 p.m. ET
S Chuck Clark and the Baltimore Ravens travel to Washington to battle CB Adonis Alexander, DT Tim Settle and CB Greg Stroman. In Washington's 19-7 win last week, Stroman had played 17 snaps at corner back and had one 12-yard punt return, while Alexander and Settle did not see action. Clark played 25 snaps at safety in the Ravens 26-15 win against the Eagles.
 
Detroit at Cleveland – 7:30 p.m. ET
TE Logan Thomas at the Detroit Lions take on the Cleveland Browns. Thomas had six-yard reception in last week's 24-20 loss to the Bills.

Detroit at Cleveland – 7:30 p.m. ET
G Wyatt Teller was traded to the Cleveland Browns Thursday afternoon and is not expected to play in the final preseason game.

Tennessee at Chicago – 7:30 p.m. ET
CB Kyle Fuller and the Chicago Bears host the Tennessee Titans. Fuller did not see action last week and is not expected to play in Thursday's matchup.
 
Miami at New Orleans – 8:00 p.m. ET
WR Isaiah Ford and the Miami Dolphins travel to New Orleans to face the Saints. Ford had two catches for 45 yards in the Dolphins' 22-7 win against the Jaguars.

Tampa Bay at Dallas – 8:00 p.m. ET
Head Coach Bruce Arians and the Arizona Cardinals travel to Dallas to face DT Ricky Walker and the Cowboys. Walker had one tackle for loss in the Cowboys 34-0 win against the Texans, while Arians and the Buccaneers won 13-12 last week against the Browns. 
 
Kansas City at Green Bay – 8:00 p.m. ET
CB Kendall Fuller and the Kansas City Chiefs play T Yosuah Nijman and the Green Bay Packers. Fuller played 17 snaps in the Chiefs' 27-17 loss to the 49ers, while Nijman played 25 snaps at tackle in the Packers 22-21 loss to the Raiders.
 
Arizona at Denver – 9:00 p.m. ET
OLB Dadi Nicolas and the Denver Broncos host the Arizona Cardinals. Nicolas was picked up from the waiver wire last week and had one pass defended in the Broncos' 10-6 loss.
 
L.A. Chargers at San Francisco – 10:00 p.m. ET
QB Tyrod Taylor, CB Brandon Facyson and the Los Angeles Chargers will battle S Antone Exum., Jr. and the San Francisco 49ers. Exum Jr. had two tackles in the 49ers win against the Chiefs.
