AFC South Notes: Colts, Jaguars, Texans, Titans

Colts

Colts QB Andrew Luck admitted that it was “overwhelming” returning to regular season action after missing the entire 2016 season.

“Overwhelming, I felt grateful and appreciative to be here,” Luck said, via ESPN.com. “I was so excited to get to run on the field as a Colt and get to play with T.Y. [Hilton] and Jack [Doyle] and [Adam Vinatieri] and the new guys. It was fun. Then the game got going, and then it’s one play at a time.”

Titans

• Titans HC Mike Vrabel said that QB Marcus Mariota is still being evaluated, but he’s hopeful they’ll receive a good report and will move forward with Mariota as their starting quarterback: “Things are OK, but if that situation arises, we will talk about bringing another guy (3rd QB) in here.” (Terry McCormick)
