This will be the third pre-season game for both teams, and the starting QBs for both teams should see more action. It will be more important for the Chicago Bears to get a good look at Chad Hutchinson with the first team offense, since he'll be the opening day signal caller in place of the injured Rex Grossman. Cedric Benson remains the lone holdout remaining among 2005 first-rounders, and it looks as though the Chicago Bears are ready to proceed without him. Backup quarterbacks Kyle Orton and newly-signed Jeff Blake should see plenty of action in the second half of tonight's game.

For the Indianapolis Colts, their main goal is to continue to get healthy in preparation of their regular season opener in Baltimore on September 11th. The Colts have eighteen guys currently listed as out for tonight's game. Backup Jim Sorgi will once again play the bulk of the game at quarterback, before 3rd stringer Travis Brown mops up in the fourth quarter. Coach Tony Dungy was impressed by the way his young secondary looked at times against Buffalo last week, especially rookie cornerback Marlin Jackson.
