Scott Tolzien: Taken in AAF draft
Scott Tolzien's name was among the quarterbacks called off during Tuesday's Alliance of American Football draft, Kevin Seifert of ESPN reports.Tolzien last played in the NFL during the 2017 season as a backup for the Colts, but the veteran will take a shot at spring ball with hopes of winning the starting job and getting a chance to impress NFL scouts in the spring. Tolzien hasn't seen much success in the NFL when under center, posting a 2:9 TD:INT ratio in the 10 regular-season games in which he's appeared.

Colts' Scott Tolzien: Officially set for backup duties in Week 2
The Indianapolis Colts officially named Jacoby Brissett as their starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, leaving Scott Tolzien to serve in the backup role, Mike Wells of ESPN.com reports.Though Brissett has been with the Colts for less than a month after being acquired from the Patriots prior to final roster cuts, Tolzien performed poorly enough as starter in the team's embarrassing loss to the Rams in Week 1 for coach Chuck Pagano to go in a different direction. If Andrew Luck's shoulder injury keeps him sidelined for the foreseeable future and Brissett fails to ignite the offense or succumbs to an injury, it's possible that Tolzien gets another look as the team's signal caller, but he's unlikely to yield promising results in that scenario. For his career, the 30-year-old Tolzien owns a mediocre 61.6 quarterback rating and a 2:9 TD:INT ratio.

Colts' Scott Tolzien: Appears headed for backup role
Scott Tolzien is expected to be cede the starting quarterback job to Jacoby Brissett for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.Tolzien had a rough go of it in Week 1, completing just nine of his 18 pass attempts and throwing two interceptions before being removed from the game in favor of Brissett. That poor outing led to the duo splitting the practice reps this week, and the team is apparently ready to go in a different direction just one week into the season. The Indianapolis Colts have not confirmed the swap, but expect that to happen one way or another at some point Friday.

Colts' Scott Tolzien: Facing competition from Brissett
The Indianapolis Colts will divide first-team practice reps between Scott Tolzien and Jacoby Brissett this week, Zak Keefer of The Indianapolis Star reports.Tolzien tossed a pair of pick-sixes prior to being removed in the fourth quarter of Sunday's blowout loss to the Rams. Brissett proceeded to lead the Colts' only touchdown drive of the game, albeit with the outcome already determined. The Colts seem to be leaning toward starting Brissett for the Week 2 matchup with the Cardinals, but Tolzien might be able to change the team's mind if he turns in a strong week of practice.

Colts' Scott Tolzien: Throws two pick-sixes in poor season debut
Scott Tolzien completed nine of 18 passes for 128 yards and two interceptions in Sunday's loss to the Rams. He also gained two yards on two carries.Tolzien got off to an inauspicious start to his tenure as the Indianapolis Colts' starter, throwing a pick-six on his very first pass attempt. He struggled to generate anything downfield, as he averaged just 7.1 yards per attempt and saw a second interception returned for a score midway through the third quarter. Jacoby Brissett was brought in for the fourth quarter, and although he attempted just three throws, he seemed to be more efficient at running the offense than Tolzien. It remains to be seen who will start next week's game against the Cardinals, but given Sunday's results, it would not be a surprise if Brissett got the nod.

Colts' Scott Tolzien: Confirmed as Week 1 starter
Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard confirmed that Scott Tolzien will start Sunday's regular-season opener against the Rams, Zak Keefer of The Indianapolis Star reports.With Andrew Luck (shoulder) still not practicing and Jacoby Brissett just acquired over the weekend, there wasn't much doubt Tolzien would get the Week 1 start in Los Angeles. The Colts might consider moving to Brissett for Week 2 if Tolzien struggles in the opener and Luck still isn't ready.

Colts' Scott Tolzien: Makes brief appearance in preseason finale
Scott Tolzien completed four of five passes for 24 yards in Thursday's preseason win over the Bengals.Tolzien, who played just one drive in the exhibition finale, will likely start Week 1 against the Rams with Andrew Luck (shoulder) seemingly doubtful to be healthy in time to suit up. The 30-year-old Tolzien may not keep the starting job long if Luck remains out, however, as Stephen Morris had an impressive preseason as the No. 2 quarterback.

Colts' Scott Tolzien: WIll start preseason finale
Scott Tolzien will start Thursday's preseason finale against Cincinnati, while Stephen Morris and Phillip Walker also will see time, Andrew Walker of Indianapolis Colts.com reports.Though he may get the Week 1 start if Andrew Luck remains out with a shoulder injury, Tolzien will be given another tuneup after a lackluster preseason. He improved in his third preseason game, finally leading the team on a touchdown drive, but he didn't wow them, so if he doesn't turn up the production, he could lose the backup job to Morris whenever Luck returns.

Colts' Scott Tolzien: Improves in third preseason game
Scott Tolzien was 7-of-10 passing for 123 yards with no touchdowns and an interception in Saturday's preseason game against Pittsburgh. He led the Indianapolis Colts to a touchdown and field goal in his three series.Despite the interception, Tolzien improved in his third preseason game as the offense finally showed some signs of life. It was probably a strong enough performance to keep him as the No. 2 quarterback and start Week 1 if Andrew Luck remains out, despite the continued strong play from No. 3 quarterback Stephen Morris.
