The Indianapolis Colts will close out the preseason on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals. As head coach Shane Steichen has announced, the starters and many of the backups, including Anthony Richardson, won’t play in this game.
“We’ve got a lot of threes and fours playing in this game,” Steichen said Thursday, via Colts.com. “It’s their last opportunity to go prove it, to make the 53-man roster.”
Stay up to date right here as today’s game unfolds with the latest news, highlights, and insights from what takes place.
It looks like Matt Goncalves may get some reps today. According to Jake Arthur, he is at right guard in warm-ups. At left tackle is Jalen Travis, followed by Dalton Tucker, Danny Pinter, Goncalves, and Luke Tenuta. With Goncalves making the position change, perhaps the Colts want him to get as many live reps as he can.
These seven Colts players, in particular, must perform well against the Bengals in order to make one final push towards the 53-man roster.
