INDIANAPOLIS – Colts coach Chuck Pagano said he believes veteran quarterback Matt Hasselbeck will play in Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans despite the quarterback wearing a sling on his left arm during practice Wednesday.
But let’s assume Hasselbeck doesn’t play – Andrew Luck has already been ruled out – against the Texans, that leaves Charlie Whitehurst as the quarterback responsible to lead the offense against J.J. Watt and the Houston defense.
Whitehurst’s last start just happened to be against the Colts in Week 17 last season, when he was with the Tennessee Titans.
