The clock is about to strike midnight on the 2025 NFL preseason. Already, the New York Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots and Carolina Panthers have all turned the page toward the regular season after rolling through their final exhibitions on Thursday night, and now eight more teams will do the same on Friday night.

The Panthers will sit most of their starters, head coach Dave Canales said, while the Steelers will only assuredly sit four of their players -- quarterback Aaron Rodgers, wide receiver DK Metcalf, outside linebacker T.J. Watt, and defensive lineman Cam Heyward.

The Steelers got one bit of encouraging news during the game. First-round pick Derrick Harmon, who left in the second quarter on a cart after sustaining a knee injury, walked out of the locker room and sat on the bench between Cameron Heyward and T.J. Watt in the fourth quarter. He appeared to be in good spirits.
