The Baltimore Ravens travel to Lucas Oil Stadium to play the Indianapolis Colts. Here are five things to watch for on Saturday.

So far, so good for the Baltimore Ravens.

The Ravens won their preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers, 22-19. The bigger win is exiting the game without any season-altering injuries.

The “starters” – the handful that were actually out there – played one series and it was average. The first exhibition game was a chance for the young guys to show their talents. A few players stood out, while others hurt their chances of making the team.

The first string will get more reps in the second preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts, but will still be missing key pieces. Terrell Suggs and Steve Smith, both recently activated from the physical unable to perform list, will not play. There is still no word on whether Joe Flacco will play either.

Like Baltimore, the Colts are coming off a disappointing season plagued by injuries and hoping for a bounce back year. Let’s breakdown five parts of the game to keep an eye on.
