Studs and duds from Colts’ preseason win over Eagles

Studs and duds from the Colts’ preseason win over the Eagles.

The Indianapolis Colts officially concluded the preseason Thursday night with a 27-13 win over the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field.

Though the Eagles rested their starters, the Colts had their starting units on the field for the entire first half before giving way to the second and third teams.
