The Indianapolis Colts officially kick off the preseason with a road matchup against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night at New Era Field, but there won’t be a high number of starters participating in the game.
With many Colts dealing with injuries both big and small and the history of soft tissue injuries early in the preseason, head coach Frank Reich said there will be a handful of players that won’t see time in the opener.
Yeah, we have done that. I don’t want to go through the list right now, but if you have a specific question I would address it,” Reich told reporters Tuesday. “There are a handful of guys that won’t play. We have addressed all the playing time down through the fourth quarter.”
There were a few names Reich addressed specifically when asked by the media. Running back Marlon Mack “is probably not going to see any time.”
With Andrew Luck still dealing with a calf injury, Reich said backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett will play “somewhere around a quarter.” The rest of the game will likely be split between Phillip Walker and Chad Kelly.
A player of note set to make his return to the field after missing almost a full year of on-field work is wide receiver Deon Cain. He won’t be playing the full game, likely just a quarter, but this will be the first game Cain plays in since tearing his ACL in the preseason opener in 2018.
There will also be a question as to how much work new running back D’Onta Foreman will get. With Mack not likely to play and Jordan Wilkins dealing with an injury, there could be a scenario where Foreman gets some work. However, Reich said it would have to be the perfect spot.
The preseason is back, and football is almost here, but there will be several starters held out of the opener on Thursday to ensure they will be ready for the real opener on Sept.
Indianapolis finished the 2018 season 10-6, one game behind Houston for the AFC South crown. The Colts did qualify for the postseason as a wild card team: they beat Houston 21-7 in the wild card round before losing 31-13 at Kansas City in the AFC Divisional Round. It marked Indianapolis’ first playoff appearance since 2014 and coach Frank Reich got the team going after a slow start. The Colts started the year 1-5 but won nine of their final 10 regular season games with the lone loss a 6-0 defeat at Jacksonville on December 2. There wasn’t a lot of major moves by the team in free agency: they picked up running back Spencer Ware, wide receiver Devin Funchess and outside linebacker/edge rusher Justin Houston. Gone are receivers Dontrelle Inman and Ryan Grant, along with guard Matt Slauson and safety Mike Mitchell. Indianapolis was fifth in the league with 27.1 points per game offensively last season while ranking 10th in scoring defense by allowing 21.5 points a contest.
