Bradshaw (neck) is expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Saints, the Indianapolis Star reports. Bradshaw has missed the Colts' opening two exhibition outings following last year's neck surgery. Given the running back's injury history, Bradshaw has mixed practice days with rest periods throughout the preseason thus far. However, with Saturday marking the typically most important third tune-up contest, Bradshaw is expected to suit up and play second-string to starter Trent Richardson.
