LISTEN: Which Falcons Are Fighting For A Job in NFL Finale?
It's getting down to the nitty-gritty.
Just one game stands in between the Atlanta Falcons making the final cuts to shrink the roster down to 53 players by the Tuesday NFL deadline.
This adds even more pressure to those without a certain future to play their best football Sunday night when the team faces the Cleveland Browns.
There are also roster position battles that can alter after Sunday's game, specifically with the offensive line, which has produced one of the more intriguing training camp duels.
Will rookies Jalen Mayfield and Drew Dalman work their ways into starting spots? Can Richie Grant punch his way into the first team at safety?
Answers to those questions can become much clearer after Sunday's preseason finale.
