The Indianapolis Colts have been extremely optimistic about the health of quarterback Andrew Luck this offseason. However, they managed to solidify this notion with the most encouraging update yet.
The latest reports suggested that Luck was well on his way to a return. According to Zak Keefer of the Indianapolis Star, general manager Chris Ballard says he will be ready for the start of training camp:
“Andrew Luck is ‘good to go' for training camp.”
Ballard added that although Luck will take some days off, his throwing shoulder looks well intact.
“Andrew Luck will take planned days off in training camp to rest his arm. He’s throwing the ball pretty well,” Ballard says.
It goes without saying that this is big news coming out of Indianapolis.
Luck had been sidelined since the final stretch of the 2016 campaign with a lingering shoulder injury. Despite the Colts' optimism that he would return at some point last season, it was clear that the rehabilitation process was not going quite as planned. Fortunately, the worst now seems to be behind them.
There has been plenty of speculation surrounding Luck's return. He was undoubtedly one of the most talented quarterbacks in the league prior to his injury. As a result, there are mixed feelings about whether or not he will be able to return to form in the 2018 NFL season.
Regardless, there is clearly a newfound sense of optimism in Indianapolis surrounding his return. Luck will certainly have his work cut out for him in the competitive AFC South Division.
