Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck is still dealing with a calf injury and is growing frustrated that it isn't getting better.
Luck: “I’m frustrated, to a certain degree”

Luck is still dealing with pain in the calf, and that is the main issue right now. Colts coach Frank Reich had said on Sunday that Luck could play if it were a big game, but the team is being cautious with him.
Frank Reich said Andrew Luck will not practice the next two days, either. There is pain in the calf, and the QB is not happy where it’s at right now. #Colts will re-evaluate Friday and set the next week’s schedule from there.

Reich was asked if Kevin Durant's Achillies injury is something that is playing into how the team handles Luck and he admits it is. Durant was dealing with a sore calf when he came back to play in the NBA Finals and ended up with a torn Achilles.
“We didn’t really talk about it, but I think we all knew it,” Reich said via the Indy Star. “I was certainly thinking it. When you see something like that happen, you’re like, ‘Oh yeah, that’s why we do what we’re doing.’”
Luck sat out all of the team's offseason workouts with the calf injury, and the expectation at that point was that he would be a full go during training camp. The team still doesn't seem super concerned that this could linger into the regular season, but with the way, Luck has dealt with injuries; it has to be a concern.
If Luck goes into the regular season dealing with this calf injury, it will no doubt have an effect on his mobility and could hinder the team's chances at making a run for the Super Bowl.
