I think that preseason game are of almost no value to the team, especially if they have joint practices with coaches that they can reasonably work with.
I see some value in that players who have been injured get some more reps.
For me, any advantage is outweighed by the possibility of injury. As many of us say each week, the goals of each preseason game is the same: no injuries, no injuries, no injuries.
I suppose there is one other use, to use the preseason games as Practice Squad tryouts. Of course, this applies just as much to the players from both teams.
