Colts shut down Andrew Luck due to shoulder soreness
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000...r-soreness
Colts general manager Chris Ballard announced Wednesday that the team's star quarterback won't practice this week due to "soreness" in his surgically repaired shoulder.
If it is just shoulder soreness, he could be OK on a limited basis next week. I knew he was not going to play against our #1 pass defense.
It may be time to think about shutting him down for the season and get his shoulder fully taken care of. Wont do any good throwing him out there week 12 just to take one hit and be done for the season.

Quote:Ballard emphasized that injured reserve was not an option for Luck, but when asked if the signal-caller would play at all this season, Ballard told reporters: "I don't want to speculate right now. I'm not going to put a timeline on that right now."
Clearly Chris Ballard does not have any intention of shutting Andrew Luck down for the whole season.

How in the world does that make ANYTHING clear? He gave an absolutely vague answer and that makes something clear?

It's vaguely clear? Maybe? Perhaps?

"injured reserve is not an option" makes it clear Andrew Luck has a good chance of playing in less than eight weeks.

Do you only read the parts that you like.....I repeat, how is that clear he will be back?
Do you just want to argue with me?

I'm asking you a question. How is that CLEAR he's going to be back? It's CLEAR to me he's being intentionally vague.

"Injured reserve is not an option" is clear enough for anyone to understand in
less than six weeks Andrew Luck will practice again. I don't need to know any more until there is a new report.

Just like injured reserve wasn't an option for Peyton Manning in 2011. Remember how many games he played that year?

Totally different situation. Everyone except Bill Polian knew he was going to miss all 16 games.
Not willing to put a timeline on it is pretty much coach speak for 'I want to keep opponents guessing, but in reality hes done, but I won't confirm it so you worry he might come back.' I am guessing if this soreness doesn't improve, Luck will go back under the knife between week 11 and Jan.

I have to ask...is Luck done completely?
Listening to the Colts brass, he was supposed to be back by now. Now there is talk about him returning in 2018?!?
I have to think the Colts have to invest a pretty high pick in a QB next draft.
