Colts host Falcons in preseason opener at Lucas Oil Stadium

The Indianapolis Colts (0-0-1) are set to host the Atlanta Falcons (0-1) for their home preseason opener on Saturday at 1 PM EST at Lucas Oil Stadium. Neither team is expected to feature its starters, with backup quarterback Riley Leonard starting for the Colts and Jack Strand along with Cooper Rush splitting time for the Falcons. Attention will be on rookie running back Seth McGowan, who is competing for a spot amid DJ Giddens' recent hamstring issues. Other key areas to watch include the backup edge group and the ongoing kicking battle between Spencer Shrader and Blake Grupe.
