On the other hand, we could see our share of Dak Prescott and most of the Cowboys' first teamers in some extended action.
As always, expectations should be tempered in the preseason, but it is a good time to get a glimpse of minor technical fixes that some of the starters have made.
The Colts have been vague about Andrew Luck's status all August, and we still don't know when he'll be ready to play. You can head over to NFL.com/watch to watch live from your desktop or laptop or you can live stream the game on the Watch NFL Network app - which is available on iTunes and Google Play.
Defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins, who injured his ankle and sat out the Lions game can make 2017 preseason debuts on Saturday. Smith is expected to play a significant role in Dallas' linebacker rotation - this game will be our first indication of how much of an impact he can have.
Fred, who cuts Dak's hair, says he's an extremely good tipper and takes care of him well. Now, we'll get our first look at how Smith will play post-surgery.
Whether he plays well or not is inconsequential, the fact that he is out there playing at all is incredibly encouraging to see. This already will be the third game of the preseason for the Cowboys, while the Colts will take the field for a second time this summer. However, his best chance to start on this offensive line is to beat out Jonathan Cooper, Byron Bell and Joe Looney for the starting left guard position. Let's see how well he fills Chaz Green's place. The Colts will be careful with their franchise quarterback this August, with very limited play, after coming off shoulder surgery this off season. Most believed that there was little chance of Dallas keeping a third quarterback. Kellen Moore completed 8 of 17 pass attempts for 69 yards while Luke McCown put up just 31 yards while going 6 for 13. There are endless doubts as to whether the rising star running back Ezekiel Elliott will suit up, but there's still a lot of things to witness as the 90-roster professional football players fight to secure their respective spots on the final 53-man roster.
Against the Colts, Rush will have another opportunity to make his case.
For the Colts, they continue to try and find answers.
