Tolzien started Saturday's preseason game at Buffalo, and completed 12-of-23 passes for 140 yards and a touchdown while rushing once for one yard.
EDGE Analysis
Tolzien was the beneficiary of coach Chuck Pagano's decision to sit Andrew Luck. He got more reps than Stephen Morris, suggesting that Tolzien is indeed the clubhouse leader to win the Colts backup job.

Tolzien may start Sunday's Hall of Fame game against the Packers, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Chuck Pagano has told the Indianapolis Star that he's uncertain if Andrew Luck will take the field Sunday. If Luck indeed sits out, Scott Tolzien would be the beneficiary as the most senior member among the remaining quarterbacks. No matter the decision made by Pagano, Tolzien will be facing the organization that fostered his development the past three seasons.

Tolzien signed a contract with the Colts on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The terms of his deal remain a bit unclear, but he will move from backing up one franchise quarterback in Aaron Rodgers, to another in Andrew Luck. He will need to beat out Stephen Morris for the backup job, but Tolzien's experience likely gives him the edge heading into training camp.

Tolzien completed one pass for four yards while finishing out Sunday's loss to the Cardinals in relief of starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
EDGE Analysis
The Packers elected to pull Rodgers from Sunday's game in the fourth quarter with the team well behind on the scoreboard, and Tolzien quarterbacked the last two drives. He will continue to serve as Rodgers' top backup for the remainder of the season.

Tolzien completed 7-of-11 passes for 41 yards in Thursday's preseason game. He did not throw a touchdown pass and threw one interception in the contest.
EDGE Analysis
Tolzien's preseason preparation was abbreviated by a concussion, but the good news for him and the Packers is that he made it through the team's fourth preseason game without setback. Tolzien displayed improved mechanics this preseason, and is entering his third season with the Packers; so while fellow reserve quarterback Brett Hundley impressed this preseason, Tolzien is still a near-lock to open the season as the backup behind Aaron Rodgers.

Tolzien (head) will be used as an emergency quarterback in Saturday's preseason game, Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tolzien was cleared to play Saturday night after suffering a concussion in last week's game, but the Packers will take the cautious route and only use him in a pinch. Aaron Rodgers will not play Saturday night, so Brett Hundley will start, and Matt Blanchard will see action as the backup.

Tolzien (concussion) is not expected to play against Philadelphia in Saturday's preseason game, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Aaron Rodgers unlikely to play more than a series or two - if at all - Brett Hundley will likely get extensive playing time at quarterback.

Tolzien has agreed to a one-year deal to remain with the Packers, ESPN.com reports. Per the report, Tolzien's new deal could be worth up to $1.35 million, with 27-year-old QB now locked into the Packers' backup mix behind Aaron Rodgers, which is more than can be said of Matt Flynn, who is slated to become a free agent on Tuesday.

Tolzien did not appear in a game during the 2014 season. Tolzien appeared in three games during 2013 and even started two, but he was not needed at all in 2014 with starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers playing in every game after missing seven the year before. The Packers like Tolzien's potential and will likely give him another chance to challenge Matt Flynn for the backup duties during training camp.

Tolzien completed 8-of-12 passes for 124 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Titans. Tolzien played just over a quarter Saturday and held his own in rough conditions. He is on track to open the season as the Packers' third quarterback as long as they keep three quarterbacks on the 53-man roster.
