I'll say 5
I'm gonna take the under. I'll say 2.
I haven't seen anything this year that indicates they've gotten over their slow start to games.

Why do so many people care about pre season? I don't get it. If they played and McLaurin twists his knee then everyone would be yelling about why were starters were on the field.
This offense isn't going to light up the scoreboard, no matter how much they play in pre season. My guess is they're going to be up and down just cause where we are at talent wise. It's a middle of the pack group.
As far as Samuel goes, perhaps they don't want him out there for whatever reason. He's a vet and knows how to get himself ready. He doesn't need pre season.
Last year really convinced me preseason is kinda overrated. Not so much for the depth players trying to make a roster, but for the starters.

If you have an offense which is chronically slow to start the season, see Washington for the last 6 years, there is some benefit to getting them into a rhythm before week 1. Whether that out ways the injury risk is the question. They are just as likely to get injured in Q1 of week 1 as during the Pre-season if they are lacking in real game speed fitness. I will trust in the coaching staff and reserve the right to irrationally criticize them later on if the team don't go 5-0 to start the season :)
