Luck has a set back

My feeling is this is a situation where if it was a regular season game he'd be playing, but since its not and none of these games or work outs are critical for him, they are giving it as much time as he needs.

If he misses the 3rd preseason game, we should be worried. I don't that happens.

This was my first impression. It’s gotten a lot more ominous lately, though.

Combine the fact that it happened in April and is still no better with Andrews recent cryptic comments about mental “scars” from 2017, and there’s plenty there to be concerned about.

I’m pretty sure at this point, he’s not playing at all in the preseason.

Aaaaand it just keeps getting better. Now he’s dealing with a “small little bone” issue in his foot.

Uhhh, say what? I thought it was a calf strain? Are both his calf and his foot injured?

This is exactly like 2017. It’s more serious than they would have us believe.

At this point, I expect to hear about Luck undergoing surgery any day now.

All we have is a vague comment from Irsay about it, who knows how high he was when he said it.

While I'm not a gynecologist, there's not really any 'bone issues' no matter how "little, tiny" they are that can heal in 3 weeks.

It was the comment itself that makes me wonder. “I have no doubt that Andrew will GET THROUGH this”. Not heal from this, “get through this”.

It’s a lot like the “space between the ears” comment he made 2 years ago.

I feel like there is more going on here than what we know. And it’s about more than a strained calf.

I'm getting a shitty feeling about this.

Just feels like this organization goes around the block and down the street to do the least optimal thing when it comes to injuries...

It's probably something like an ankle spur. That's not something you can place a firm timeline on the recovery, but it's also something that you can play through. I also don't think it's fair to pin this on the Colts--Luck drives these conversations for the most part.

As I said before, I think they're just being really cautious, taking the extra time to try and alleviate as much of the discomfort as they can before the season starts. He started training camp, it flared up, and now they're treating it to minimize the impact on the season. That's exactly what they should do under the circumstances.

The guy played a full season with a torn labrum and people think he won't play Week 1 with discomfort in his ankle?

On DD it was just said that his issue is this:

Basically an injury, blood pools, and essentially extra bone begins to grow where it shouldn't be.

Now, if this is the case, in the foot, not a doctor but I would think this is a surgery case and if so, he's missing some games. Ironically they also said that as of yesterday he was not in a boot... WTF???

If this ends up being the case, and it took 4+ months for these people to figure this out and he has to have surgery now, a couple weeks before the season. Every single pathetic SOB on that medical / training staff should be shit canned. Immediately go to the local Walgreens e-Med clinic, hire those folks as an immediate upgrade of the position.

If it turns out this too stems from a snowboarding incident, then cut him too... derailing a chance at a title this season with that shit.

That's the worst possible scenario and it isn't supported by all of the facts. The part of your post in bold should have set off your BS detector.

It's most likely a simpler injury like an ankle spur.
