Highly doubtful.  I wouldn’t be surprised to see Barkley play the majority of the game

He might get the entire game 

[Donuts and Doritos]

Elam & Benford will play (one of them will end up a starter), Ariza & Bass. Otherwise no.

[Rubes]

Settle isn't exactly a starter, but I hope we see some of him this week. Didn't like seeing a calf injury keeping him out against Denver.

This is the game for the players fighting for the few roster spots and for the practice squad.

 

i expect to see Blackshear and Duke Johnson, Hodgkins, Kummerow, Austin, Gentry and the BYU kid, Sweeney and Morris at TE, and all back-up offensive line.

 

On D, all the reserved line, guys like Braylan Spector, Andre Smith and Jo Giles Harris at LB and I do expect to see the two rookie corners getting snaps

I keep seeing people mention this guy but I have no clue who he is. Who are we referring to as a team cancer?

I expect to see a lot of OJ Howard.

No, this game will be used to evaluate the bottom of the 53. Look for who plays the most on ST.

Maybe we'll finally get to see some god-damn punts.

Indications from McDermott are that Brown will not be starting in September.   He hasn't practiced much due to his recovery from surgery. As a young player he needs to get more practice in.  It sounds almost as if he'll need to earn his way back into the starting lineup.

The short answer is NO.

[twist_to_open]

I hope we keep Punt God on the bench. Rest all our starters!

 

[Sierra Foothills]

The reason they changed the roster cut down dates this year is so teams would be able to play all reserves for the final preseason game.

 

Aside from Elam and Benford (one of whom will be starting against the Rams) and the kicker, punter, and long snapper I can't imagine the Bills playing any of their starters.

Short week, probably not.

Not that I expect the starters to play, but what short week are you talking about?

The one we’re in.  

This’un.

[SlimShady'sSpaceForce]

Define starter when there is so much rotation?

 

The 1’s will all be on the sideline

Yeah - i don't mind seeing anyone competing for a starting spot getting some snaps.

He adds a lot to the run game, but his pass protection was always a bit of a work in progress.

We don't need to see Brown at the beginning of the year and can let him get completely healthy.  Q is a legit starter.  I know his pass pro grade sucked but he's not a stiff.  And don't forget...Beach Chairs!

 

[HappyDays]

Not a one. And I'll still watch every snap because I'm a psychopath.

They need reps, but I wouldn't be shocked if they both sit (along with Dane Jackson and Taron Johnson) in favor of a steady diet of Lewis, Ingram, McCloud and Jordan Miller.
