This is not expected to be a good sign for Kolb. The team appears to be losing confidence in Kolb, who is in his second season with the team.
He was acquired before the 2011 season in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles. It is yet to be determined if Kolb will receive the starting nod on Opening Day.

He went 3-6 in those starts. He went 146 of 253 for 1,955 yards. Kolb had nine touchdown passes and eight interceptions.
Skelton appeared in eight games in 2011. He was 5-2 in seven starts. The El Paso, Texas-born athlete went 151 of 275 for 1,913 passing yards.
He had 11 touchdown passes and 14 interceptions.
