Colts sign new QB as Luck deals with sore shoulder
Basically, here’s what we learned from Pagano’s presser: he’s still not counting out Andrew Luck, even though the odds seemed stacked against the quarterback playing right now.
In 2014, Johnson was on the 49ers’ roster for 13 games, but did not play. But Pagano said he was limited at practice. With coach Chuck Pagano all but promising Luck will start on Sunday, he should be locked into fantasy lineups.
Bowen’s Analysis: For the third straight day, Hasselbeck had “starting quarterback” size media around his locker. While he eventually led the team to a comeback victory, amassing 260 yards and two touchdowns on 18 of 30 passing, it was evident that the quarterback wasn’t at his best.
Hasselbeck says he will find out Sunday, like everyone else, what his role will be come game time. “He’s always been good in practice and when he’s been asked to play in games he’s done well”, said Colts offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton, via ESPN.
Hasselbeck was a longtime starter at Seattle from 2001 to 2010, helping the Seahawks reach the playoffs five times and the Super Bowl in 2005.
“I’m just excited to have a job”.
With the Jaguars game 48 hours away, it’s becoming harder to downplay.
“It’s a blessing though. If they would have called midnight last night I would have gotten on a plane”. Johnson is now on his sixth team since being drafted in 2008 has attempted a total of 0 passes in the last 3 seasons.
If Luck can’t go – and it would be the first game he’s missed in his National Football League career – 40-year-old Matt Hasselbeck would get the start, his first since the 2012 season when he was with the Titans.
