With NFL training camps well underway, position battles are heating up across the league. Week two of the preseason scrimmages will be the proving ground for many looking to either earn a starting spot or a place on the final roster.
The highlight of the week will be when the Indianapolis Colts take on the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, August 19. It will be interesting to see how well rookie quarterback Andrew Luck will fare against the brutal Pittsburgh defense. The matchup will be televised nationally on NBC starting at 8 p.m. EDT.
