The Indianapolis Colts removed quarterback Andrew Luck from the physically unable to perform list on Saturday as expected, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Had Luck remained on the PUP beyond Saturday's 4 p.m. ET cutdown deadline for 53-man rosters, he would have been ineligible to play for the first six weeks of the 2017 season.
However, Luck's status for the Colts' Week 1 tilt against the Los Angeles Rams on Sept. 10 at L.A. Memorial Coliseum remains up in the air.
According to the Indianapolis Star's Stephen Holder, owner Jim Irsay told reporters Thursday that while Luck has not been ruled out for the Colts' opener, he's "unlikely" to play as he continues to recover from offseason shoulder surgery.
