Luck has a set back

[DrSpaceman]

We will see, but I am not getting upset over him missing what would probably be one series in a preseason game. Preseason game one is low reward, high risk situation for any veteran QB.

Even if he wasn't injured I wouldn't care much if he played this upcoming game

Preseason Game 3, if he doesn't play or is limited there I will start worrying

Calf strain seems like an odd injury to suffer during copulation. Maybe they were getting creative.

CBS Sports article 'Inside Colts Camp' says the Colts are now targeting a Week 1 return for Andrew and that we should not expect to see him in preseason.

[Colt Classic]

Is he able to do any work with all of the new targets?!

[IndyNorm]

Not good at all Obviously I hope I'm wrong, but this seems to have 2017 written all over it. At the very least the injury was probably much more than just a calf strain.

I knew it. I’ll be surprised if he plays week 1 at this point.

Even if he does, he’ll be rusty and the early schedule is brutal.

It’s setting up to be a lonnnnng season.

3 and a half months for a calf strain. He said when he makes sharp turns or jumps it feels like it is straining and is pushing too hard.

Yeah, remember the speculation about week 1 in 2017 all too well.

Could our QB be a head case?

Luck recently said … “I still have some emotional scars from that (shoulder injury) and that lives with me still, but I’m trying to use it in a positive way certainly for myself.”

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...
