AFC South Notes: Colts, Jaguars, Texans

Colts

Colts HC Frank Reich says QB Andrew Luck will have a lot of say as the team works with him to get the passer back in time for the season opener. Luck has continued to sit out training camp after missing OTA’s with what was called a minor calf injury that has since lingered.

“We’ll talk to everybody involved, but ultimately the big piece of the puzzle is, ‘What do you feel? Are you ready to take that next step? And if so, let’s talk about what that would look like and map it out for the next few days,’ ” Reich said via Ben Volin of the Boston Globe.
