Bills vs. Panthers, preseason week 3: TV schedule, radio broadcast and more

The Buffalo Bills take on the Carolina Panthers this afternoon at 1:00 p.m. ET for a preseason finale that will feature a heavy dose of Bills reserves and roster candidates. With all but the key special teams players missing for this game, Buffalo’s roster depth will be tested early against Carolina’s starters.

Most of the Bills Mafia will be on edge when Lancaster native Joe Andreessen steps onto the field at linebacker. After an impressive performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2 preseason action, Andreessen may have a legitimate shot at the Bills’ active roster with another solid performance.

One of the biggest battles of the entire summer came at wide receiver, with things still very much up in the air as to who will claim the sixth receiver spot. Players like Tyrell Shavers, KJ Hamler, Andy Isabella, Justin Shorter, Deon Cain, Damiere Byrd and Xavier Johnson all have a foot in the door, and another matchup with impressive visuals for any of them could tip the balance in their favor.

Below are the main ways and places to watch this afternoon’s exhibition game between the Buffalo Bills and the Carolina Panthers.
