The third week of the 2014 NFL preseason, also known as the “dress rehearsal” week since starters play the majority of the games, begins Thursday. As of Wednesday morning, 36 former Iowa football players currently remain on NFL rosters.

Below is a list of this week’s preseason games in the NFL, including which former Iowa players are on which teams. Included will be a list of television stations in Iowa carrying preseason games of three Midwest teams — the Chicago Bears, Kansas City Chiefs and Minnesota Vikings. The Bears’ game Aug. 22 against the Seahawks is also being nationally carried on NFL Network for those not listed in the Iowa markets below.

There are also seven nationally televised preseason games, including the Aug. 23 contest on NFL Network between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Buffalo Bills, both of whom feature pairs of former Hawkeyes. The Buccaneers have Adrian Clayborn and Brandon Myers, while the Bills have Scott Chandler and Tony Moeaki.
