Andrew Luck’s shoulder injury is rather mysterious.
The Indianapolis Colts quarterback has missed back-to-back games despite practicing in that span, and head coach Chuck Pagano has told reporters several times that Luck is “trending in the right direction.”
Pagano doubled-down on that phrase Wednesday after Luck was a limited participant in practice, but the signal caller’s own words suggest he could return Sunday against the New England Patriots.
“Pretty darn close to where I want to be,” Luck said after Wednesday’s practice, according to The Indianapolis Star.
While Luck officially was listed as limited Wednesday, reports from Colts practice paint a brighter picture as far as his availability for Sunday night’s AFC Championship Game rematch is concerned.
