INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Andrew Luck went back to work Wednesday but still isn't ready to play.
Matt Hasselbeck missed practice Wednesday, yet Colts coach Chuck Pagano remains optimistic the 40-year-old backup will start Sunday's crucial game against Houston.
In Indianapolis, everything seems to be upside down and the only certainty is this: Luck will miss his fifth straight game, his seventh this season and his second in a row against his hometown team as he recovers from a lacerated kidney and partially torn abdominal muscle.
"I'm not going to sit here and try to play that whole game with the kid or the Texans or anything like that," Pagano said.
