Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck said he intends to work out with the team's wide receivers in the coming weeks as he continues his bid to return from a right shoulder injury.

"Yeah, I will," the 28-year-old Luck said during an interview with Dave Calabro of WTHR. "I won't divulge too many secrets on that. But I absolutely will. It's part of the plan."

Luck and T.Y. Hilton are no strangers to each other since both were selected by the Colts in the 2012 NFL Draft. Wideouts Chester Rogers and Ryan Grant, however, haven't spent significant time with the quarterback.

A three-time Pro Bowl selection, Luck said earlier this month that he expects to be ready for the start of training camp on July 25 -- let alone the season opener -- and nothing since that time has changed his mind.

"I'm convinced I'll be ready for training camp, but I'm not going out throwing 150 balls a day," Luck said. "There will be a plan. I've talked with Coach (Frank) Reich and our medical staff and training staff and I feel very, very confident about that plan. The goal obviously is to play each game as best I can."

Luck missed the 2017 season while rehabbing from shoulder surgery.

He started all 16 games in each of his first three seasons, guiding Indianapolis to identical 11-5 records. After Luck was limited to seven starts in 2015, he made 15 starts in 2016, throwing for 4,240 yards and 31 touchdowns versus 13 interceptions.

For his career, Luck has completed 1,570 of 2,651 passes (59.2 percent) for 19,078 yards with 132 touchdowns and 68 interceptions. He has 286 rushing attempts for 1,442 yards and 14 more touchdowns.

Last season, the Colts finished 4-12 with Jacoby Brissett starting 15 games at quarterback. Brissett completed 58.8 percent of his passes while throwing for 3,098 yards and 13 touchdowns with seven interceptions.
