The Cincinnati Bengals face the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday, Aug. 31 in the 2017 NFL preseason. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
There are few teams that Week 4 of the NFL preseason means a great deal to. After all, it’s largely a game used to make final roster decisions at the bottom of the depth chart. With that said, the Cincinnati Bengals and Indianapolis Colts are two teams that need this game for that and more. As fate would have it, they’ll face off on Thursday night at Lucas Oil Stadium.
With Andrew Luck likely to miss Week 1 of the regular season, Scott Tolzien will be the starter. He’s been quite bad this preseason, so it shouldn’t be a surprise to at least see some part of him in this game. Meanwhile, the Colts will also look to fill out their depth chart on defense as questions still linger there.
Meanwhile, the Bengals have plenty of talent up front on the depth chart. However, their depth can rightfully be called into question. As such, they’ll look for young players and veterans alike to prove their value and earn a spot on Thursday against the Colts.
