NFL preseason Week 2 schedule: Dates, game times and matchups
An offseason that can sometimes grind to a halt has been put into overdrive as the regular season approaches. Battles for coveted roster spots and starting jobs remain in focus, but time is running out in those competitions already.
The page is quickly being turned with one-third of the preseason in the books.
Some teams will opt to play their starters as a final tune-up before the games really begin to count in September. Others will keep their stars in bubble wrap to ensure their health for the Week 1 kickoff.
There's no exact science to cracking the preseason code, but teams will have to weigh the decision between rest and rust. With a finite amount of spots in the league, every moment matters this time of year, giving fans more than enough reasons to tune in.
Here's a look at the preseason Week 2 schedule:

How to watch Liberty vs. Lynx: WNBA's best square off for third time this season
It's another WNBA Finals rematch on Saturday as the Minnesota Lynx (27-5) host the New York Liberty (21-12) in a matchup of two of the best teams in the league. Last weekend, the Lynx topped the defending champions 83-71 in New York to take the second of four regular-season games between the two squads. Minnesota did it without MVP front-runner and leading scorer Napheesa Collier, who is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game with a right ankle sprain. How to watch New York Liberty at Minnesota Lynx Venue: Target Center — Minneapolis Time: 2 p.m. ET, Saturday TV: CBS Streaming: Fubo (Save $30) Watching in person? Get tickets on StubHub. Live coverage is also available on Paramount+. The Lynx, who have been without Collier since she was injured on Aug. 2, have not played since last Sunday's win. The Liberty, on the other hand, have played twice, splitting two road games against the Los Angeles Sparks (a 105-97 win) and Las Vegas Aces (a 83-77 loss). New York will also be without superstar Breanna Stewart as she continues to recover from a knee injury. Fortunately, the Liberty still have their top scorer, Sabrina Ionescu (19.3 points per game), to pick up the slack. Ionescu, who led the conference in scoring (21.4) and assists (6.6) in July, was named Eastern Conference Player of the Month for her efforts. After Saturday, the 2024 WNBA finalists square off one more time this regular season on Tuesday, Aug. 19, in New York. With about one month left in the season, the Lynx and Liberty both look to finish strong and secure optimal playoff seeding. Minnesota is 6.5 games ahead of the Liberty for the best record in the WNBA. The Atlanta Dream (21-12) are also hanging around near the top of the league standings.
