Andrew Luck might not return in 2015, Report

Andrew Luck was cleared to upramp throwing on Monday, but ESPN reported the Indianapolis Colts doubt he will play again in 2015.

Luck said Monday he is not recovered from previous injury. Even so, he may be cleared to begin some light practice work on Wednesday, although no official word on his availability for practice has been announced.

Coach Chuck Pagano said Monday that he had nothing new to report about Luck's availability. Even if he begins to practice, that does not mean that Luck would be able to play Sunday against Houston.

Luck said that he has been told that his lacerated kidney must be fully healed before he can return to playing in a game. He doesn't feel like he is at that point right now.

Luck added that he will be back before the end of the regular season. He added that if cleared to play, he would be OK with practicing for three days and then playing on a Sunday.

Luck was asked about how prepared he would be if cleared to practice and play in a game over the next couple of weeks.

"I'm such a big believer in practice," he said. "You can't just sit out for however many weeks and show up expecting to be where you want to be."

Meanwhile, quarterback Matt Hasselbeck who left the Jacksonville game because of a rib injury early in the fourth quarter after being shoved out of bounds was not seen in the locker room Monday.

Hasselbeck did not return and was spotted in the Colts locker room Monday with his left arm in a sling.

Pagano said that Hasselbeck has been experiencing spasms, which is connected to the rib injury. The arm in the sling helps to alleviate the spasm issue.

Hasselbeck came into the Jaguars game nursing a sore neck and shoulder after being roughed up in the loss to Pittsburgh two weeks ago. His status for the Houston probably won't be decided until the end of the week.

Hasselbeck may not practice Wednesday but its hoped that he will be cleared to practice on Thursday.
