Although he didn’t show any symptoms during the game and finished the contest out, Indianapolis Colts franchise signal-caller Andrew Luck suffered a concussion in the team’s 24-17 win over the Tennessee Titans.
JETS: Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick practiced fully for the first time since spraining his left knee, while center Nick Mangold sat out again with a sprained right ankle and appears unlikely to play against New England on Sunday.

We are going to worry about us and trying to get those guys blocked”.
