As one would expect for a preseason game, scouts from various NFL teams are expected to be in attendance.

Sixteen different clubs have assigned seats in the press box, with the Panthers, Saints and Jets with two apiece. The Toronto Argonauts, Calgary Stampeders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League are also expected to have scouts in attendance.

NFL teams must trim their rosters from 80 to 75 by Aug. 26.

The rosters must be trimmed from 75 to 53 by Aug. 30.

With such an influx of players to become free agents, NFL teams are keeping a close watch on other clubs for players who offer help at a specific position.
