AFC Notes: Colts, Matt Ryan, Texans, Titans

Colts

Colts QB Matt Ryan was asked by reporters if he would consider continuing to play next season, adding that his shoulder injury feels good.

“I don’t think so,” Ryan said, via Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan. “I’ve always tried to handle the day that is in front of you, particularly during the season. It’s one of those things that after the season certainly, as you get older, are always discussions that you have to have, and you go through. But during the year, you try and make sure Wednesday is the best Wednesday it can be. … I don’t go much further than that.”
