The Buffalo Bills are set to kick off their preseason schedule on Saturday against the Indianapolis Colts. It will be the first game of the 2023 season and also the only preseason game this year at Highmark Stadium.
The first preseason game is typically one in that most starters are held out, or play very little, and instead gives the coaching staff to begin to evaluate players a little further down the depth chart.
When looking ahead to this game, the Buffalo Bills have a few younger players who are in line to be starters that would benefit from more playing time before the games matter in the regular season. In addition, there are a few players who are set to be backups that the coaching staff might want to see how they do in live game action to get an idea of how they might do if they need to step in during the regular season.
