Looking at Week 2 of the preseason.

It’s a packed weekend of preseasion action, and even though it is still just the preseason, there are some pretty intriguing matchups.

Tonight the Dolphins take on the Chiefs in Kansas City. New Dolphins QB Trent Green makes a quick return to the city that he left just a couple of months ago after a long, drawn-out trade saga. And, we may finally see the return of Priest Holmes, who was one of the best running backs in the league just a few seasons ago, but has missed most of the last couple of seasons with serious head and neck problems that looked as if they’d end his career. He may not be able to displace Larry Johnson to get his old job back, but if he can at least show some of the pre-injury Priest Holmes, the Chiefs will have a formidable rushing attack.

The matchup of the week, however, is the rematch of Super Bowl XLI, between the Bears and the Colts in Indy on Monday night. There won’t be any trophies handed out for winning this one, and we won’t see much of the starters after a little while, but we don’t have to worry about rain dampening the excitement this time around.

The rest of the week 2 schedule:

Friday

Minnesota at New York Jets
Tennessee at New England
Carolina at Philadelphia
Atlanta at Buffalo

Saturday

Detroit at Cleveland
Oakland at San Francisco
Seattle at Green Bay
Pittsburgh at Washington
San Diego at St. Louis
Houston at Arizona
New Orleans at Cincinnati
Tampa Bay at Jacksonville

Sunday

New York Giants at Baltimore

There are some interesting regional matchups, with the Raiders and 49ers and Bucs and Jaguars. There’s also the Mike Holmgren return to Green Bay matchup as well.

And, last but first, the Cowboys take on the Broncos on Saturday in their second and last home game of the preseason. I’ll have a more in-depth look at the matchup as we get closer to the game.
