The Facts: Luck is recovering from shoulder surgery, and he's not sure how long that recovery will take. Luck said today that he simply doesn't know yet whether he can run the offense when the Colts open training camp on July 29. "To be honest, I have not thought about it," Luck said, via Zak Keefer of the Indianapolis Star. "If I'm ready for it, then great. If I'm not, then that's the way it is."
Diehards Line:
The plan all along had been for Luck to sit out this week's minicamp but the expectation has been that he'd be ready for training camp. And he may well be. But it's not certain. "I’m certainly hopeful for it," Luck explained. "In my mind all I can do -- and I truly feel this way — with this rehab, with my shoulder, I can’t look five months down the road, three months down the road, a week down the road. To me it’s about the next rehab session, the next day. That’s where my focus is and that’s where I think it needs to be to truly get back to 100 percent.” As PFT suggests, that’s not exactly the most confidence-inspiring quote from Luck, but the Colts want to be cautious. They’ll take their time about getting him back on the field, and that may mean having him on the sideline when training camp opens.
