Here's how to watch the Colts preseason opener against the Bills

The Indianapolis Colts open their preseason schedule against the Buffalo Bills on Saturday, Aug. 13, 2022.

The Colts are coming off a 9-8 season in 2021 in which they lost their last two games to miss the playoffs. In the offseason, they traded quarterback Carson Wentz to Washington and traded with Atlanta to get quarterback Matt Ryan. They also made deals to get pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue, cornerback Stephon Gilmore, quarterback Nick Foles and running back Philip Lindsay.

Is Matt Ryan going to play against the Bills?

Coach Frank Reich says Ryan, and most of the starters, will play "a little" in Buffalo.

“Maybe a quarter, maybe a little less,” Reich said. “We’ll just take it as the flow of the game.”

Ryan doesn't object to some preseason playing time.

“I mean honestly, I’ve always felt it was important,” Ryan said. “Different coaches and different years have different points of emphasis, but I’ve always felt like there is a lot of work that gets done this time of year: some of it in game, some of it in practices.”

Wide receiver Parris Campbell and free safety Julian Blackmon, who are returning from injuries suffered last season, are expected to play.

“We want to see all those guys play,” Reich said. “It’s as much for them as it is for us, just the confidence level.”
