On Monday, his birthday no less, former Wisconsin QB Scott Tolzien was named the week one starter for the Indianapolis Colts. Indy’s regular starter Andrew Luck is still not recovered from offseason shoulder surgery.
As a result, Tolzien will get the chance to show his worth to the Colts and the rest of the NFL. This development is not a major surprise and had been rumored for weeks.
Everyone including Tolzien recognizes the starting opportunity is temporary. The moment Andrew Luck is medically cleared he will retake the starting job.
