Preseason: Colts @ Vikings

Both Colts coach Frank Reich and Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said starters will likely play on Saturday. Based on what we know about Minnesota in the preseason, I don’t think the team has Kirk Cousins and company out there for more than a few drives.

 

This time around, Minnesota will likely utilize some guards who did not take offensive snaps in the Indianapolis game, like Ezra Cleveland, Oli Udoh and 2021 draft pick Wyatt Davis. The Colts defensive tackle group is still really good. The guards vying for starting positions will receive quite a test, one that could separate the starters from the reserves, especially if DeForest Buckner and Grover Stewart end up getting reps.

Right now, the Vikings have a competition for the backup quarterback spot. With Kirk Cousins as the clear starter, Kellen Mond and Jake Browning both have a chance at the spot on the depth chart behind him. Players like Nate Stanley and Danny Etling are long shots at this point. I think someone becomes the heavy favorite to win the backup position after this game.
