INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Colts spent the offseason remodeling a defense that ranked 30th in the NFL last year.
It gets a test drive Sunday against — fittingly — a team from the Motor City.
The preseason opener against the Detroit Lions at Lucas Oil Stadium will not provide a perfect preview.
Inside linebackers Jon Bostic and Antonio Morrison — who have taken the majority of the first-team snaps during training camp — are injured and unlikely to play. Likewise cornerback Rashaan Melvin, who has been in the lead to start opposite two-time Pro Bowler Vontae Davis.
