It may not be the regular season just yet, but Thursday Night Football is back for week three of NFL preseason.
For the second season in a row, the Colts will end their preseason against a team that won’t play their starters; last season, it was the Eagles, and this year, the Bengals (which means we won’t be seeing Joe Burrow in action).
The Colts, however, will play QB Anthony Richardson and the rest of their starters into the second quarter.
The Colts are 1-1 in preseason, dropping their opener to Denver but picking up a 21-13 win against Arizona last weekend.
Meanwhile, the Bengals enter tonight’s matchup looking for their first (and only) win of preseason; they lost both the opener against Tampa Bay and last week’s tilt against Chicago.
