Match Preview: What’s at stake?
The Atlanta Falcons and Indianapolis Colts meet in Week 2 of the 2026 NFL preseason, so Saturday’s result will not affect the regular-season standings. Instead, the game is another important evaluation opportunity as both teams work through roster battles and prepare for the regular season.
The matchup comes after two days of joint practices in Indianapolis, giving both coaching staffs an additional chance to evaluate their players in competitive situations before the game.

The quarterback situation is one of the main storylines. For Indianapolis, Riley Leonard is expected to start and play the first half, with Anthony Richardson taking over afterward as the Colts continue to evaluate their QB2 options.
Meanwhile, Atlanta’s quarterback picture remains worth watching, particularly with Michael Penix Jr. still limited and Tua Tagovailoa working with the first team during the joint practices.
The joint practices also produced some important developments ahead of Saturday’s game. Colts quarterback Daniel Jones completed all 15 of his passes during Wednesday’s session, while cornerback Justin Walley returned an interception of Tagovailoa for a touchdown. Those performances add another layer to a preseason matchup focused more on individual evaluations than the final score.
