Andy Dalton appears to have escaped serious injury despite leaving Thursday night's preseason finale against the Colts early with a bruised arm.

Marvin Lewis says Dalton is "fine" and would have returned had it been a regular-season game.

Dalton was hit by Robert Mathis and others on Cincinnati's sixth offensive play. Initially, he stayed down, then got up and walked toward the sideline where he dropped to the ground again.

Chandler Harnish, the last pick in this year's NFL draft, threw a 42-yard TD pass to Dominique Jones with 6:54 left in the game and gave the Colts a 20-16 win over the Bengals in Thursday night's preseason finale, according to an ESPN.com report. 

"Chandler's played well all along," coach Chuck Pagano said, dropping no hint of his thoughts heading into Friday's cuts. "He's had some rough starts when he gets in there, but once he calms down, he's been able to move this team and be productive."

The Atlanta Falcons, San Diego Chargers and Baltimore Ravens have the three oldest collections of starters in the NFL. 

The Kansas City Chiefs, Seattle Seahawks and Cincinnati Bengals are the youngest.

Former Vikings head coach Bud Grant had a popular saying that "for every young guy you start, you lose a game."

Pete Carroll worked for Grant early in his coaching career, but has had one of the youngest teams in the NFL during his tenure with the Seahawks.

"I was of that mindset in classic fashion until I had to be in charge of calling all the shots and then it just flipped in me that we don't know where we're going unless we find these guys out," Carroll said. "One of the really exciting things about playing guys early is ... by the middle and to the end of the season, you’ve developed players that fit into your rotations now that add to your depth and also add to the opportunity to not over-play your older guys." 

Below is a full list with the rank in offense/defense in parenthesis.

1. Atlanta Falcons (2/5)
2. San Diego Chargers (7/3)

The NFL has 12 starting quarterbacks who are 24 years old or young.

Six of those 12 played high school football in the state of Texas.

Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III, Andy Dalton, Ryan Tannehill, Christian Ponder and Matthew Stafford all played in Texas.

The Bears have the best uniforms in the NFL, according to Paul Lukas of Uni Watch.

"True, the helmet design is starting to look a tad dated," writes Lukas. "But the striped sleeves, striped socks (now a rarity in the NFL, alas), unique number font, and even the perma-memorial to Papa Bear all score major points, and the Bears may be the only team in the league who look as sharp on the road as they do at home. The cream of the NFL crop."

The Packers, Steelers, Raiders and Eagles round out the top-five.

"Just suit up, baby," writes Lukas about the Raiders. "Silver and black look just as good today as they did when Al Davis came up with them. There's probably some marketer out there who wants the team to dress up like the fans in the Black Hole (and hey, that actually could be fun as a one-off thing), but you don't mess with something this elemental. Also: The Raiders are among the few NFL teams that wisely have declined to adopt the new Nike collar format."

Cedric Benson faced off against the Bengals on Thursday in Cincinnati as a member of the visiting team.

Benson signed with the Packers this offseason.

"It felt good," Benson said of seeing his former teammates. "Just lets me know those guys miss me over there. I guess the run game hasn't gotten up to par in Cincinnati yet. Those guys know the type of player I am. They know how I work. Developed a pretty good relationship with those guys."

Benson produced three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons with the Bengals, but the team decided to go in a different direction this offseason.

The AFC North had more players in ESPN's Top-25 than any other division, placing six in total from the Steelers, Ravens and Browns. The Bengals didn't have a representative in the Top-25.

The most any other division had was four, which was the AFC East and NFC North.

Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs (No. 13), Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (No. 14), Ravens defensive tackle Haloti Ngata (No. 17), Steelers linebacker James Harrison (No. 19), Browns offensive tackle Joe Thomas (No. 21) and Steelers safety Troy Polamalu (No. 22) were in the Top-25.

A.J. Green and Calvin Johnson worked out together near Atlanta during the offseason.

“I had a chance to work out with Calvin this whole summer so it was great because the guy works so hard and he taught me a lot of things to get where he is,” Green told “NFL AM” on Tuesday morning.

Green had 65 receipts for 1,057 yards during his rookie season.

“The guy is second-to-none the way he works (and) the way he goes about his business,” Green said. “He’s a great guy to be around, he is humble and I just love being around guys like that who are in his position.”

The Buccaneers have claimed Jordan Shipley off waivers from the Bengals.

Shipley, 26, was a third-round draft pick of the Bengals in 2010, but he missed all but the first two weeks of 2011 season after tearing the ACL and MCL in his left knee in a game last Sept. 18.
