Andrew Luck: Limited with shoulder injury
For the Colts to truly right the ship as a team, Luck must take the necessary steps to progress.
According to the Colts’ twitter account, Luck had a limited practice Wednesday and would not answer reporter’s questions as to what limited meant. “I don’t have a crystal ball”.
So, without further ado here is all you need to know about playing Colts players in your DraftKings lineups this week. He doesn’t even like taking plays off in practice. He did say, however, that Luck was “absolutely not” dealing with an injury before the Titans game, obviously meaning that the injury had to have occurred sometime during the past game.
“There’s always bumps and bruises that show up in high school, college and the NFL”. “It’s nothing more than that in my mind”. Unfortunately, Luck’s ascension to the top of the National Football League hasn’t gone as planned. He was sacked three times and hit four times in Sunday’s victory over the Tennessee Titans despite Pagano shuffling the starting offensive line.
Blake Bortles is still searching for consistency in his second season as he’s completed 53.8 percent of his passes with five touchdowns and three interceptions. The only quarterbacks hit as frequently as Luck are Philip Rivers (24), Ryan Tannehill (22) and Russell Wilson (21).
The constant pressure has led to a few ugly results, too. I just listen to the trainers and the docs, and we’ve got the best in the National Football League.
The Colts have the luxury of playing the AFC South, where a 6-10 record probably wins the division. If you want to save a little money to spend on a more legitimate WR1 than Hilton, then Moncrief is your man.
He may have done all that with the injury.
The Colts’ quarterback Andrew Luck is being limited at practice due to a right shoulder injury.
So it was no surprise that Jacksonville opened as an 8-point underdog against an Indy team that struggled to score points in the first two games of the season and then gave up 33 at Tennessee last week.
Whether Luck is hurt, or just sore, or exhausted, or they really wanted to get more reps for Matt Hasselbeck and practice squader Alex Tanney, we don’t know just yet. Now apparently Luck is ready to follow his coaches advice and “focus on the next play”.
Luck said, per George Bremer of the Herald Bulletin (sic), that his shoulder “didn’t feel as good as I’d like it I after the game”. And if it was important to respond against Miami after a Week 1 loss to Carolina, it’s equally critical the Jaguars play well Sunday.
Rookie running back Tyler Varga is now in the concussion protocol after suffering the head injury this past week. Cornerback Greg Toler (neck) returned to 11-on-11 drills but worked in a red, non-contact jersey….
Pagano also understands opponents will continue to apply the pressure on Luck until the Colts can solve their protection issues.
