As for the teams’ next preseason game vs. the Carolina Panthers, those who are healthy enough play need to put on a good showing:

"“I think it’s very important just for us to play well, more so than anything else,” offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell said. “Any unit that takes the field, we want them to go out there and be in sync, move the ball and put some points on the board. We’re looking forward to that. In the third game, typically you end up playing a little bit more. It depends on what John wants to do in that regard, but we want to see our effectiveness and our execution climb up a notch or two.”"

The team is also expecting a big year form offensive guards Marshal Yanda and Kelechi Osemele, who some now consider to be the best guard-duo in the NFL:

"“I don’t think there’s a better pair of guards in the NFL than Yanda and Osemele,” said former NFL offensive lineman Ross Tucker, a SiriusXM NFL Radio host. “Yanda is as nasty as they come, and I don’t know if people really know how good that K.O. guy is. He’s unbelievable.”"
