In this story:

And just like that, we're down to the final weekend of preseason games. Foe some former Alabama Crimson Tide players, it'll be a final chance to impress their new teams and coaches. For others, it'll simply by a final tuneup for the regular season.

NFL teams will be selective about who might play, and for how long, as the last thing anyone wants to see is someone sustain a major injury this close to the start of the regular season.

Heading into this final weekend, there are 78 players scattered across the league, with at least one on every roster minus the Chicago Bears.

Cornerback Anthony Averett was released by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Long-snapper Carson Tinker announced his retirement and we want to wish him luck in whatever he decides to pursue next.

Prior to 4 p.m., ET Tuesday, all teams must reduce rosters to a maximum of 53 players on the active/inactive list. Many will not wait until the deadline to make moves. Check out BamaCentral's updated listing of active players by team and position, and Contracts, Salaries and Status of all former Crimson Tide players.

Players to Watch this Week: Mac Jones

Could Mac Jones be on the move again? You never know. Last week he was 16 of 23 passes for 210 yards and two touchdowns in a 20-7 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and most importantly he again looked like the quarterback who led the Crimson Tide to the 2020 national championship and got off to a hot start with the New England Patriots.

But after the team struggled in 2023, the Patriots decided to go in a different direction and drafted Drake Maye after sending Jones to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a sixth-round draft pick. Back in his hometown he's competing to be Trevor Lawrence's backup, and the Jaguars declined to pick up the $25.7 million fifth-year option on his rookie deal, meaning Joes can be a free agent after this season.

Could any teams be looking for quarterback help this season, or next? Jones could be in for an interesting few days.
