The Facts: Luck returned to practice last week in a limited capacity, but CBSSports.com insider Jason La Canfora is the latest to report it remains highly doubtful to appear in a game this month as he continues a gradual recovery from offseason shoulder surgery.

Diehards Line:As reported before the season started, Luck faced weeks of throwing on the side in a measured strength program before he would even be cleared to tread on the practice field, and then would have to progress to being able to throw a full route tree to receivers before he could begin taking meaningful reps with the first-team offense. It will require weeks of sharing reps with starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett before Luck resumes his role atop the depth chart, and that schedule assumes no setbacks. Sources told La Canfora that Luck made it through the initial throwing program with no setbacks and the Colts remain very hopeful of him taking over sometime in the second half of the season, but October will be a month of continued rehab and incremental gains as he works his way back into the lineup.
