Colts' Scott Tolzien: Appears headed for backup role

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 Colts have not confirmed the swap, but expect that to happen one way or another at some point Friday.
