The Indianapolis Colts are immersed in training camp and their first regular season game is about a month away. Franchise quarterback Andrew Luck is still on the PUP list after surgery to repair a separated shoulder. The Colts are being very tight lipped about Luck’s status and it doesn’t look like he’ll be resuming throwing anytime soon.
Kevin Bowen of Colts.com stated the following:
Do not read much into Andrew Luck being present at the last two Colts’ practices. Chuck Pagano threw up the red flag on if Luck’s recent practice attendance means his return to participate is definitely coming soon. The Colts enter Week Two of Training Camp with Luck still on the PUP list. Until Saturday’s practice, Luck had been isolated from the media for the bulk of camp. Where is Luck in his throwing rehab schedule? Will his return to practice come in the next week or so? Those questions remain unanswered as the team’s regular season opener is less than five weeks away.
This isn’t looking good for the Colts. It’s not as if Luck is a 10 year veteran and an all pro. Yes he’s been a starter from day one, but he also missed half of the 2015 season due to injury. Luck still needs training camp reps and work with his teammates on offense. With no timetable set for his return, it looks like the injury may have been worse than originally thought.
