The Indianapolis Colts announced on Wednesday that the team has promoted quarterback Stephen Morris from the team’s practice squad to their 53-man active roster and waived wide receiver Devin Street in a corresponding roster move.
Obviously, the latest roster move doesn’t seem to shed much optimism that starting quarterback Andrew Luck will actually be available to play on Thanksgiving night. However, it still can’t be entirely ruled out either.
In Luck’s potential absence, Morris is expected to be the primary backup to replacement starter Scott Tolzien–who could be making his first career start in exactly 3 years to the day: November 24, 2013, while with the Green Bay Packers.
