Didn't Irsay say last year
“It’s been said before, all sports is played on a 4-inch field between your ears. It’s really important we continue to help Andrew emotionally, mentally, get his confidence and his endorsement, deep down his rubber stamp (in) his heart of hearts because in the end, that carries the biggest weight.”
and later from TV booth
“…You have to be able to deal with this, not only physically but mentally,” Irsay said. “I have no doubt that Andrew, the person that he is, he’s going to come out of this thing not just how he was but a better quarterback. ‘When’ is the question. That timetable is more on the football gods and Andrew’s gut feeling on how he’s feeling.”
 Could it be more mental than physical/ Afraid he will hurt himself again? |
One of the earlier quotes about the situation had him admitting there had been some talk of minor surgery but after evaluations they didn't think it was necessary. Can't help but to think we're now heading toward something early this week along the lines of:
Tuesday: "Andrew's going to get another opinion on this thing simply because the pain shouldn't be there now and it is"
Friday: "Andrew is going to have a minor procedure on that leg this weekend, we'll know more on any time he will miss after that"
Monday on ESPN alert: "Andrew Luck to miss at least the first 4 regular season games after surgery to repair a tear in his calf dating to April of this year"
Just has that ominous feel unfortunately...
