The Detroit Lions took on the Indianapolis Colts in Game 2 of the preseason in a game that featured players fighting for starting roles and spots on the rosters. In the end, the Lions stopped the Colts’ two-point conversion late in the fourth quarter in order to secure the 27-26 victory.
As expected, both teams rested a lot of the veterans and starters. A list that, for the Lions, included their entire projected starting offense, defensive line, and safeties. With a position battle at starting outside corner, nickel corner, and linebacker, Jeff Okudah, Will Harris, AJ Parker, Malcolm Rodriguez, Chris Board, and Derrick Barnes played.
