Colts QB Luck nearing return to practice

Fans chanted, “We want 50!”

But more than injuries on Monday, Bradley’s focus was on a victory as complete as any in his three seasons as head coach.

What the Colts will not do, Luck said, is take unnecessary chances with an internal injury, despite their tenuous position in the AFC South division race (Sunday’s game will go a long way toward deciding the division title).

“This was the first time that we got our tails kicked in”, Quinn said. Here’s the drawback quote, from Luck on Monday: “I do not feel like I’m 100 percent back from (my) prior injury”. “We didn’t talk much about Indianapolis last week at all”.

On Sunday, the Jaguars not only got a second consecutive five-touchdown-plus game offensively, they held their opponent without an offensive touchdown for the first time this season and scored their first special teams touchdown of the season. If the Texans beat the Colts and then beat the Titans in Week 16, they will win the division according to the playoff machine.

The Indianapolis Colts (6-7) are coming from a 51-16 devastating loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. “As they get more tape on him, they have more opportunity to know his tendencies and what he likes to do”, Colts safety Dwight Lowery said. Opposing teams are able to do too much against them through the air and that has definitely been the case once again this season.

When Andrew Luck suffered a lacerated kidney the hope was that the Colts quarterback would return by Week 15. Starter Joe Flacco is out for the season and Clausen filled in for a banged up Matt Schaub.

Pagano said Hasselbeck is now wearing a sling on his left arm to prevent muscle spasms he’s been dealing with and that the team should have a better idea of his Sunday status by Wednesday or Thursday.

The Jaguars’ rookie running back may not take the field on Sunday against the Falcons.

Luck added that he will be back before the end of the regular season.

An undrafted rookie, Rawls finishes the season with 830 yards and four touchdowns. It remains unclear when. The latter was likely scored as a bad pass despite its good result, which is one of the selling points for QBR – that its individual inputs and charting make it a better representation of play than traditional QB rating (which put Bortles at 114.6).

Now Atlanta comes to Jacksonville with a six-game losing streak after losing to Carolina, 38-0. Running back Denard Robinson ran for 75 yards in 14 carries and a touchdown.

The two-time All-Pro did kiss the Eagles logo at midfield before the coin toss, and he hugged owner Jeffrey Lurie. Being cleared for practice, and then for a game, are two separate hurdles that Luck must clear. “Sure. But I don’t have to answer that question right now”.

“He showed up in practice”, Jacksonville coach Gus Bradley said.

Two weeks ago, he told reporters he was throwing.

After his final pass skipped through the end zone incomplete, and Philip Rivers trudged off the soggy turf of Arrowhead Stadium with a 10-3 loss to the Chiefs, the Chargers quarterback looked at his phone and saw a text message from home.

That’s the “if” that has plagued San Diego all year.

-WR T.Y. Hilton had four catches for 132 yards in Sunday’s game but would gladly give up those numbers for a win. He threw touchdown passes to wide receivers Allen Hurns and Allen Robinson and tight end Julius Thomas, and now has 30 touchdowns with 13 interceptions this season.
