What happened: The score came during Friday's preseason game. The ensuing extra-point attempt failed.

Why it matters: Colson missed the entire 2025 season after undergoing shoulder surgery. The takeaway provides a notable evaluation rep before the 2026 regular season.

By the numbers: The interception return produced six points.

What to watch: Colson's remaining preseason snaps will offer more evidence about his role entering the regular season.
