The Indianapolis Colts and Buffalo Bills are set to square off at New Era Field for the first game of the preseason, but there are several names that won’t be suiting up Thursday night.
Colts head coach Frank Reich already said earlier this week that a number of starters and injured players would be held out of the preseason opener. Here’s a look at who will be on the sidelines for the game.
| Player | Position |
| Andrew Luck | QB |
| Ben Banogu | LB |
| Parris Campbell | WR |
| Jack Doyle | TE |
| Penny Hart | WR |
| Ryan Kelly | C |
| Jabaal Sheard | DE |
| Ross Travis | TE |
| Adam Vinatieri | K |
| Jordan Wilkins | RB |
Most of the players on this list—with the exception of maybe Vinatieri—have been missing training camp practices with injuries. There aren’t many, if any, surprises as to who is inactive.
There are still some players that active for the game that won’t see the field simply as a precaution.
