Colts Rule Out Andrew Luck For Week 4, “Possibility” He Could Practice This Week

Colts HC Chuck Pagano told reporters on Monday that QB Andrew Luck is progressing well and there’s a “possibility” he may be able to practice at some point this week, per Kevin Bowen.

However, Pagano did say there’s no guarantee Luck will be able to do so and they’re still waiting for him to get clearance from doctors. Pagano added that he will know Wednesday whether Luck will practice this week.

The Colts also ruled Luck out for their Week 4 game against the Seahawks.

On Sunday, Ian Rapoport reported that Week 6’s game against the Titans is still worth keeping an eye on in regards to a potential return for Luck. He will still need to practice before then, but Rapoport wouldn’t be surprised to see him at least taking part in practice this week.

Chris Mortensen reported that Luck has had no setbacks and he reached out to Drew Brees for advice regarding his shoulder, which led to him working with Brees’ therapist, Kevin Wilk, in conjunction with the Colts.

The Colts elected to not place Luck on the PUP list coming out of the preseason, which would have cost him the first six games of the season because they felt he could return before then.

Indianapolis has wasted no time in ruling Luck out the past two weeks. The Colts will once again start Jacoby Brissett at quarterback.

Luck, 27, is a former first-round pick of the Colts back in 2012. He’s currently in the second year of his six-year, $139.125 million contract that includes $87 million guaranteed and is set to make a base salary of $12 million for the 2016 season.

In 2016, Luck has appeared in 15 games and thrown for 4,240 yards while completing 63.5 percent of his passes for 31 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 4 quarterback out of 36 qualifying players.

We’ll have more regarding Luck as the news is available.
