A look at Thursdays NFL preseason matchups:NOW YOU SEE HIMThe Falcons latest hope for boosting their pass rush, defensive end Dwight Freeney, is expected to make his Atlanta debut against the Browns after reaching a deal on Aug. 2.

Freeney, 36, is expected to play in nickel packages.He may make only a brief appearance on Thursday night -- or in any preseason game, for that matter.Falcons coach Dan Quinn joked I dont think hell lead the league in playing time this preseason.Freeney had eight sacks in 11 games with Arizona last season. No Falcons player had more than four sacks.---FAMILIAR FACEWhen the Detroit Lions lost Calvin Johnson to retirement in the offseason, they immediately signed receiver Marvin Jones.The Lions take on Jones old team when they host the Cincinnati Bengals. Jones had one catch in Detroits win over Pittsburgh last week.Cincinnati lost Jones and fellow receiver Mohamed Sanu to free agency. It signed Brandon LaFell and drafted Tyler Boyd in the second round, but LaFell has an injured right hand and didnt play last week against Minnesota.---TAKING RISKSFor Oakland quarterback Derek Carr, the preseason is the time to take some risks that he might normally try to avoid when the games count.I definitely do stuff that I want to work on in a game setting against live bullets, he said. I definitely do that, nothing that would go against hurting or anything. But, I want to see if we can get better. I want to see if, `Man if we can do that, that would help you know? So I definitely do that sometimes, he said.Carrs next chance to try that out will be Thursday night when the Raiders visit Green Bay, which hopes to give backup quarterback Brett Hundley the majority of snaps if his injured ankle allows it.---END OF A LONG WEEKAfter practicing together this week and enduring a couple of scrums and shoving matches, the Patriots and Chicago Bears will play at Foxborough, Massachusetts.It culminates a weeklong reunion between Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett and his former team, who traded him in March.He shared hugs and pleasantries with several of his former teammates and coaches during three days of joint practices. But the outspoken Bennett and his brother, Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett, made a couple of nasty comments about Bears quarterback Jay Cutler in the last month.Still, Chicago coach John Fox assured there is no ill will toward Bennett.Tom Brady may see some action for New England, but Jimmy Garoppolo will get the majority of the work.---PLAYOFF REMATCHSeattle and Minnesota are meeting for first time since the Seahawks beat the Vikings 10-9 in the playoffs last season.This is a playoff team, won the Super Bowl a couple years ago and the NFC championship game a couple years ago, Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said of the Seahawks. So, our guys know the competition that theyre facing. I dont think they think of it as like this is the wild card round or anything like that, but I think itll be good competition.Seattle continues to lean toward undrafted rookie Trevone Boykin as its backup quarterback to Russell Wilson. Boykin completed 16 of 26 passes and threw a 37-yard touchdown to Tanner McEvoy on the final play of regulation to give the Seahawks 17-16 win.---PENNSYLVANIA SPECIALSteelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, running backs LeVeon Bell and DeAngelo Williams and wide receiver Antonio Brown will not play in the game against the Eagles.It remains to be seen whether the Eagles use new receiver Dorial Green-Beckham.

DETROIT -- Paul Molitor isnt particularly fond of the spoilers role.The Minnesota manager had his team in playoff contention much of last season. This year, the Twins are wallowing in last place in the American League Central.They have an opportunity to diminish the Detroit Tigers drive for a postseason spot during a four-game series this week. Molitor doubts that his team will gain extra motivation from that. Minnesota lost the opener on Monday night, 4-2.Weve talked a little bit over the last few weeks about the spoiler role, he said. Some players might draw upon that somewhat, when youre playing a team thats trying to get in the postseason. The game highlights will probably be shown. Who knows how certain players respond to that?I never really took a lot of pleasure in being someone who wasnt in the race and beat teams that were trying to get in the postseason. Youre going out there and trying to play your best game, regardless of whether its spring training, April, September or the World Series.The Twins (53-91) have been an easy mark for the Tigers this season. Detroit (77-66) is now 11-2 against Minnesota while averaging 5.8 runs per game. Ian Kinsler and Miguel Cabrera had solo homers in Mondays game, helping the Tigers pull within one game of the Baltimore Orioles in the race for the second American League wild card.Theyve swung the bats well against us, Molitor said. (Justin) Upton had a slow start, and hes killed us. Cabrera has always kind of been a Twins killer. Victor (Martinez), J.D. (Martinez) -- they seem to swing the bats well against us. The have a really nice, balanced lineup.Minnesotas lineup was weakenedd Monday by the absence of first baseman Joe Mauer, who is batting a quad injury.dddddddddddd Mauer also missed Sundays game against the Cleveland Indians and will sit out the Tuesday game against Detroit left-hander Matt Boyd.Im going to probably re-evaluate where hes at in terms of getting a start on Wednesday, Molitor said. Well see if 72 hours gives him a little bit of improved health with that leg.Twins third baseman Miguel Sano left the Monday game due to lower back tightness.Minnesota right-hander Kyle Gibson, who lost his only start against Detroit this season, will be on the mound Tuesday. Gibson (5-9, 5.34 ERA) is 3-5 with a 5.44 ERA in 10 career starts against the Tigers.Boyd (5-3, 3.89 ERA) has won both of his starts against Minnesota this season, posting a 2.25 ERA and 14 strikeouts in those outings.Boyd gave up two homers to the Twins on Aug. 24 in a 9-4 Detroit victory.Theyve got some solid bats in that lineup, he said. Theyve got guys with experience, and theyve got a lot of (young) guys with a lot of talent. Ive got to attack the zone, use all four pitches and keep doing what Ive been doing.Keeping his emotions in check in a pivotal game for his team will be a key for the second-year pitcher.Its awesome to be in a race like this, and its awesome to have a chance to start at home in the process of that, he said. Im not taking it for granted, but Ive got to look at it as just another start.The Tigers could be without Upton. He departed the Monday game because of a left calf strain. ' ' '
