What happened: The open workout begins at 10:30 a.m. CT on Aug. 26, two days before the teams close their preseasons at Lambeau Field. NFL rosters must be reduced to 53 players by Aug. 30.

Why it matters: Opponent drills provide repeated matchup evaluations that a preseason game cannot guarantee. With uneven playing time in the finale, Wednesday should carry more weight in the last roster decisions.
