The regular season is upon us! This week the Blue Zone crew discusses the Colts week 1 matchup with the Chargers, the contracts Indy handed out to a couple of quarterbacks, takeaways from the 53-man roster and they touch on the plethora of moves division foe Houston has made as of late.

Traditionally, the third preseason game has been the "dress rehearsal" game when teams give their starters the most amount of playing time ahead of the regular season. Head coach Frank Reich is bucking that trend and announced the Colts and Bears won't play their first-team players. Mike Chappell and Joe Hopkins discuss what we can expect to see in the game Saturday and why it is still significant. They also provide updates on Andrew Luck's injury, recap the Colts vs Browns game and breakdown a few roster moves.
