WESTFIELD – Something about him’s been different since the day he got here, some two weeks back, the quarterback so many had left for dead resolute to prove to himself, to his teammates, to his coaches, to everyone, that his football career was still very much alive.

Andrew Luck’s not only done that, he’s done more: He’s proved he’s back.

Truly, truly back.

Giddy to talk about his fully-healed throwing shoulder at the outset of training camp, and still giddy to talk about it now, Luck will suit up in an NFL game for the first time in 585 days Thursday night when the Indianapolis Colts open the preseason in Seattle.
