What happened: Bank of America Stadium hosts the matchup. In-market coverage is available on the Panthers Television Network, Panthers.com and the Panthers app, with radio coverage on 99.7 FM The Fox.
Why it matters: The finale gives reserve players one last evaluation before weekend roster decisions. NFL clubs must reduce their rosters from 90 players to the 53-man regular-season limit.
By the numbers: Carolina enters the finale 2-1 through three preseason games, including the Hall of Fame Game.
What to watch: Final cuts and the resulting 53-man rosters are the next developments to watch.
