Despite referring to it as the “dress rehearsal” week for the team leading up to the Colts’ week three preseason game against the Bears, head coach Frank Reich has now said the Colts will rest their starters for the contest.
Frank Reich opens his presser today by saying he has had a change of heart and they will not play most of the starters in this game. Wow.

The coach cited a change of heart and said he and Bears head coach Matt Nagy had exchanged texts regarding starters getting time and that helped prompt his decision.
