The seemingly inevitable is now the official: Andrew Luck will not play in the 2017 season. The Indianapolis Colts placed their franchise quarterback on season-ending injured reserve Thursday as he continues the slow process of recovering from January shoulder surgery.
"I wish I was better and 100 percent this season, but that's not the case," Luck said, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site. "I know I'll be better from this. I know I'll be a better quarterback, teammate, person and player from this, and I'm excited for the future."
