Colts quarterback Andrew Luck is questionable for today with a shoulder injury, but the news this morning is encouraging.
Luck was able to throw on Saturday in a session with only the Colts’ coaching staff present, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The Colts’ medical staff also did tests on Luck’s shoulder and found no structural damage. Luck wants to play.
If Luck can’t go today, the Colts would start Matt Hasselbeck and use the recently signed Josh Johnson as the backup. The decision to sign Johnson this week suggests that there’s a real chance that Luck won’t be able to go.
But his ability to throw yesterday is a reason for optimism. We’ll know for sure in four hours when we see if Luck’s name is on the inactive list for the Jaguars-Colts game.
