The Buffalo Bills got back on the right track in their second preseason game on the backs of standout performances by some standout undrafted free agents that are looking to make the final roster. Heading into their third and final preseason matchup, this will be the final opportunity for players on the roster bubble to make an impression before cut down day.

Bills fans will be balancing the desire for Josh Allen to stay wrapped in bubble wrap until the season begins with wanting to see an increase in offensive production, as the Bills are one of only two teams that have yet to score a touchdown this preseason. 

Buffalo vs Carolina will kick off from Highmark Stadium at 1 p.m. ET, and according to 506sports, there will be multiple broadcast options.

Bills vs Panthers will be a final audition for roster spots

There are plenty of questions still remaining on this roster, with competitions taking priority on both sides of the ball. The starters on offense are locked in, but there's still plenty of jockeying to do for backup spots across the offensive line and at the skill positions.

Who will make the roster at wide receiver, and how many receivers will the Bills carry? This will be the last opportunity for the likes of Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Tyrell Shavers, K.J. Hamler, and Andy Isabella to make a case to the end of the bench at receiver. 

How is the health at safety? At this point, due largely to injuries, we still have no idea who will be starting at safety opposite Taylor Rapp, who has one of the starting positions secured. Damar Hamlin looks to be the first one up by default, with both Cole Bishop and Mike Edwards sidelined.

With Matt Milano injured, who rounds out the linebacker room? Will "Joe Buffalo" Andreessen go from UDFA local hero, to Rookie Minicamp tryout, to the 53-man roster? 

Will we see more out of Josh Allen and this offense? Without wanting to give away too much of the playbook before the games begin to count, there is a level of significance to the fact that Allen has only attempted three passes in preseason when only one wide receiver on the roster has ever caught a pass from him in a regular season game – Khalil Shakir

Plenty of questions remain, with Saturday's final tune-up carrying plenty of intrigue.
